O.G. Told Me

Hook (Professor P):
Get  yours and stay low key
That's  what an O.G. told me
The best way to reach your dreams is getting no sleep
That's what an O.G. told me
That's  what an O.G. told me
That's  what an O.G. told me
Things are still moving even if they're moving slowly
That's  what an O.G. told me

Verse 1 (Professor P):
Don't ever take my kindness for weakness
Greed is what separates the finders and keepers
Keep  my pen in the same place I'm hiding my secrets
What's a truth in your head can turn a lie when you speak it
I set apart the times that I'm sleepless
And times when i sleep less as grinding increases
I've watched the game from the sidelines
The sidelines from the bleachers
I know the further back you go the wider the scene get, so I
Welcome all the fake love showing
Need some leeches in my life to get my blood flowing
What disconnects the shooters and the cut throats?
Only one is friendly enough to catch you up close
I thank my grand pops for such quotes
Truckloads of gems, always blessed me with the must knows
Like, if you don't lose friends you ain't growing up
Some people can tell the difference between gold and rust...

Hook (Professor P):
Get yours and stay low key
That's what an O.G. told me
The best way to reach your dreams is getting no sleep
That's what an O.G. told me
That's what an O.G. told me
That's what an O.G. told me
Things are still moving even if they're moving slowly
That's what an O.G. told me

Verse 2 (Defari):
Raps I don't mumble, success I stay humble
My nigga Kimble told me Defari stay nimble
Out the way and get this money and you'll always be successful
God knows these streets is stressful, shit
Put your family foremost, first and front of all else
Take care of your genes, hold them up like a strong belt
Grand son of Mary and beloved sister Ruth
If you lie to yourself you will always miss the truth
The music is miracle, me I'm just a vehicle
An instrument, I touch peoples spiritual
Focus daily with a poise that's so rare
I was told most motherfuckers don't care
Bout your wellbeing, your dreams, your ambition
Fuckers shake your hand, smile, you leave, they start dissing
Me'na fuckboy, I run with real ones
I was taught life is live and love the children...

Hook (Professor P):
Get yours and stay low key
That's what an O.G. told me
The best way to reach your dreams is getting no sleep
That's what an O.G. told me
That's what an O.G. told me
That's what an O.G. told me
Things are still moving even if they're moving slowly
That's what an O.G. told me
