Intro: Awon
Yeah, Mr. Clean, Soulapowa, all in my head ya know what I'm saying, I'ma talk to somebody yo, check it out
Verse 1: Awon
See I done did my thang, slung a little cane for a little change
That was way back when, when the calls smoke the same
The options looking better but the weather ain't so decent
Tryna do it right and stay the fuck up out the precinct
Microphones are heating across the world is how we eating
What you get is what you seeing, make the play I'll be your being
I'm the one who be emceeing make em bounce I'll be controlling
Got em fiending, got em feeding cuz it's dope that I be holding
Fucking up some commas ink a comma for your credit
Word to my grandmama for her honor I was steady
You can't be liberated if you too apologetic
The poor always infinite but the rich will take the merit
The slums that I inherit make the flows so esoteric
You grinning I will bear it, your sins I have to wear it
That's wisdom you can cherish, no dispirit never perish
Till we lavish in the palace
Sippin from a holy chalice
Huh
Hook: Awon
This story of my lifetime is dirt and grime (dirt and grime)
A lot of loss maybe I done lost my mind (lost my mind)
A lot of grind maybe I done lost some time (lost some time)
Love and happiness is what I'm tryna find
(x2)
Verse 2: Awon
Im sinning up lose prayers like I need to hit the lotto
Mighta spent my last dollar it makes me wanna holla
Been gripping hard on this bottle
This reefer becoming ether, this darkness becoming too hard to swallow
My goals are always lofty
It's the Devil in me, seeing other get rich and I'm getting salty
Thinking bout seeing a shrink, wanna be dripping like crink
My tears hitting the paper running the ink
It's hard just being alive, the life is such a blessing
It's a shame we all just tryna survive
In fact I'm tryna thrive
Believe in dreams more than a 9 to 5
You're born to die therefore
Your greatest asset is time
My rhymes are sermons, this is Sunday School
I've been running jewels right in front of fools
Never forget the people we all equal
They rocking, holding you up, they don't follow they believe you
Huh
