Wisdom

[Verse 1: C-Ray]
Yeah
Not after fame, no diamonds and no platinum chains
No platinum plaque but trynna get my stats the same
Living life in this disaster, moving past the pain
Know my aim to get these racks, I gotta rack my brain
The world is weighing on me but my back don't break
You giving up, don't give a fuck bout what you have to say
Before you open up yo trap make sure your facts are straight
But a lot of y'all just puppets, do what masters say
I'm not a slave to these religions they exacerbate
I'm raised to make my own decisions, I don't practice hate, nigga
Don't pass the plate to me I'm looking past the fake
And praying for them kids you let yo catholic priests and pastors rape
Just stay focused, don't invest in what the masses think
I know my worth, and get it even if I have to scrape
I say it with my chest and learn from past mistakes
I'm just trynna be the best, you know what practice makes
Perfect

[Interlude]
Wisdom is power, and power is wisdom
One with each other, perfecting the whole
If one comes to thee full of knowledge, listen and heed, for wisdom is all

[Verse 2: C-Ray]
Raised in a world imprisoned by holy fables
Leadership flaky, foundation shaky like broken ankles
I meditate till I get the picture to know the angles
And stick to this independent shit over labels
Living thankful, my mental stable, don't overthink it
Communications with mystic angels through ancient teachings
The vision hazel, my written fataled the game beneath it
Don't get disabled, I will entangle like Jada Pinkett
Through the valley of the shadow of death
Behold the light, know every battle a test
There's just a handful that's left
They kept it righteous till the last of our breath
And you don't have to feel the lasting effects of a past you regret
It's about the gains that you get after the reps
To win the game, this pain you have to accept
Just don't be out of your depth
But sometimes everything we have is a mess
Stay on the path and take a stab at the best
You gotta have your respect
For certain

[Interlude]
Repeat thou not extravagant speech
Neither listen thou to it
For it is in utterance of one not in equilibrium
Speak thou not of it
For he that be before thee may know wisdom

[Verse 3: C-Ray]
Y'all out here treating phony shit like holy rip
Felonious
No more Jedi trick it's only Sith
And all I see is bogies with they so be witched
And if I drop y'all off a cliff y'all niggas won't be missed
I acquire all I can, this life don't owe me shit
And I promise my people, problems gon be fixed
And no matter your section we could coexist
But those whom I've respected it's a lonely list
Stay working, turn my energy to equity
You ever cross the line the treachery a penalty
That's for certain, make amends or meet my weaponry
Then it's curtains
Burn my enemies like effigy
Don't ever put my serenity in jeopardy
In pursuit of my respect, receive relentlessly
But now I know why my tendency bring jealousy
Cause you can't stop a God
There is no remedy for entity
They hurting

[Interlude]
Silence is with great profit
An abundance of speech profited nothing
Exalt not thine heart above the children of men
Less it be brought lower than the dust
