NEVER HAD

[Intro: Kham]
Yeah
(Hey, Harrisxn), uh, uh
Yeah, uh

[Verse 1: CZAR Josh]
Nothing is new on the face of the planet
Planted firmly in soil, I toil on gambit
Everything is everything long as my hue match the moon
From octoroon to molasses
I raise my glass to anybody with passion
Anybody that's grindin’, tryna bargain with Heaven
Never related to Huxtable, I was more on the Evans
They on they Sam Jackson, plotting on my MF DOOM
I be like, "Click-clack, boom," career gone too soon, patna

[Verse 2: J. Crum]
Now Crum is stacking paper, bringing cadences to stages
Last year he played a stadium, amazed at where this takes him
Pray he don't forgеt the reason why the Savior madе him
He was made to praise Him, he was made to start a revolution in his basement
He won't convolute it, give you truth in all his statements
Pray if he cut loose, you see the proof my God’s amazing
Praying that same the thing that's he's chasing, the same thing that You created, huh?

[Chorus: Phil J.]
Dreams gon' stay dreams if you let em'
I could not stay down forever
I had to keep climbing
I had to keep rising
'Cause I'ma work for what I never had, never had, never had
In the end, I know I'ma have to give it back, give it back, give it back
But ’til then, I’ma work for what I never had

[Bridge]
Don't touch my art, don’t touch my money
Don't touch my art, don't touch my money
Don't touch my art, don’t touch my money
Don't touch my art, don't touch my money (Yeah, yeah, hey)

[Verse 3: Kham]
Treat the beat like target practice, this my bow and arrow
Every weapon formed against me turned to bone marrow
This for every Sunday that His eye been on the sparrow
Making of a legacy refined under God's mantel
What if I made up my mind as a youngin? That would be something
Never had much, still manage to function a thought for discussion
What if I never had made mistakes and learned from the repercussions?
What if I made it to the top and flopped, forgetting 'bout where I come from? Okay
I started rapping to keep all my brothers from trapping thus keeping 'em safe, wait
I kept on rapping to tell all my brothers they're better than minimum wage, wait
They told me I wouldn't make it rapping, I should nine-to-five and play it safe, hey
Putting my heart in to records, feel the palpitations on every page
Moving at this fast a pace, I'm catching motion sickness
Persistent with the pen, praying it gives me pension
Though my intention has and always will be ascension
Regardless if I ever get a mention, for real

[Chorus: Phil J.]
Dreams gon' stay dreams if you let em'
I could not stay down forever
I had to keep climbing
I had to keep rising
'Cause I'ma work for what I never had, never had, never had
In the end, I know I'ma have to give it back, give it back, give it back
But 'til then, I'ma work for what I never had
