Nothing Without Providence

I am recognizing that the print inside my hand
Is telling me to find myself and never follow other man
Cus other men are full of ideas that can do horrible things
And if I don’t know who I am
I can fall for anything

Now he was born on a mountain
Scorned by the west winds
Warned by the fountain
You're your only best friend
Tossed in the fire
For calling it a liar
Lost his left hand but he walked out alive yeah
He said there ain't a sky here without a tail in it
They want your eyes and ears cus there’s a sale in it
Conspicuous consumption
Conspiracies conforming your function
The suited men pursuing him to act like a pseudonym
Soon threw him in with an axe
Saying break this rock here find my soul
Put him to work at 90 years old

No I am not compliant
No I am not defiant
No I am not disclosed
No I am not reliant
No I am not submissive
No I am not listed
No I’m not domineering
No I will not fit this “No”
Until I know, until I know
Until I know, until I know
You better know, you better know
You better know, you better know

Now I have got a voice and it's the voice you’re hearing now
Leaving you the only choice to adhere or tune it out
To the message that I’m speaking and the Providence I’m after
But I am not a leader I’m a rapper

Now she was born on a mountain
Scorned by the west winds
Warned by the fountain
You’re your only best friend
Tossed in the fire
For calling it a liar
Lost her left hand but she walked out alive yeah
She said there ain't a home here without a rat in it
Whether or not its known we still trapped with it
Leverage the clock with a measure of stock
When the temperatures hot we sit alone and just adapt with it
The embryo defending no was attacked
By the men who grow lands of snow in a sac
Saying cut these crops down save my days
Put her to work with a baby on the way

No I am not compliant
No I am not defiant
No I am not disclosed
No I am not reliant
No I am not submissive
No I am not listed
No I’m not domineering
No I will not fit this “No”
Until I know, until I know
Until I know, until I know
You better know, you better know
You better know, you better know
