Fanaticus - No Matter What lyrics

[Verse 1: Fanaticus] I guess I'm farsighted, cuz I'm always worried 'bout the future I'm worried that our future generations will be clueless I'm worried that these lines that I'm speaking will become useless I just wanna spit some wisdom Like I was confusius I'm not the coolest but I know you need to hear this We all struggle, not everyone walking can be fearless Yeah I know i brag about my team being the realest But I wouldn't be who I am today without some knowledge I wanna let you know what my objective is But know I'm not a political activist Like Huey freeman, but know that I want some freedom And equality, so we can free ourselves from mental poverty Our enlightenment is just the first step Knowledge is power, ignorance is our threat So don't ever forget, and don't ever regret Standing up for what's right, it's the beginning of our quest [Hook: Fanaticus] I've traveled so long to find my home Rocky mount to Chicago, Never alone Throughout this journey I've found a way to be strong Yeah my homies helped me grow to who I should be all Along No matter what, promise me you'll never give up No matter what, I'll be there to help you get up No matter what I promise you it'll be worth it Cuz every breathe we take reinforces our purpose [Verse 2: Fanaticus] It's sad that people only know me for my name They know the stories but they don't wanna hear what I say My lyrics slay, but what's important is today We gotta find a way to leave a legacy for eternity Some people refuse to f** with me cuz I was a lame But what's my social status got to do with tryna make a change? I'm scared that people only care if I display that I'm another careless rapper who projects that partying's the way I ain't tryna toss the blame or throw some shade I'm just scared that my intentions won't be seen they'll die away I have a dream I wanna see like MLK That misogyny and bigotry will cease to be a thing That this hatred for my friends that people have because they're gay Will be a thing of the past, cuz hate ain't in our DNA I'm praying that one day this song is heavily replayed Cuz if my life were to slip away, all these words are here to stay [Hook: Fanaticus] [Verse 3: Fanaticus] Sometimes I look to the sky and ask why I'm here Sometimes I let the pressure hit me like a spear Sometimes I get up and look myself in the mirror Then I realize inside my eyes I know that what I'm feeling's fear I shake it off because my destiny is clear The kids will tell me that I should be the Man of the Year They need somebody to help guide them away from all the Drugs gangs and violence, it's not as cool as it appears Cheers to those who value our future generations Show the kids the rewards of positive affirmations And there ain't nothing wrong with giving out some reparations As long as you're giving back and finding a destination An illustration of our patience is a blessing But we need to act now to keep our future bright and steady We can prepare ourselves with knowledge so we're ready To tell our story refreshing the minds of those who are leading our revolution [Hook: Fanaticus]
