Verse 1:
Been rewinding lately, tryna find the spacing
Where I harness crazy
Talking Albert mainly
Cause the math is weighty, like a ton a grading
Not a project baby, but the hardship made me
Cause my momma raised me
And did a lot failing, trying to find myself
Cause I forgot the ages, when she told me
I was supposed to be my own man
Not to copy those watching the folly
Never join those
Who steady making all the wrong plans
Do the opposite aim to be godly
Stay focused and behave ya self
You represent our last name a wealth
But of course I had to be a knuckle head a few times
And test my mom's gangsta well
Now that I've grown older, I'm just thankful
That she spank my tale
It help keep me outta prison, crippin, pimpin or holding shells Bolder Male
Don't wanna be a prisoner to popularity, epiphany
I'd rather lead and cause I'm ease
When I'm just, me
Hook:
Everything could with could when wrong
But thank God didn't nothing happen
I thank ya that I made it
Cause so many of our brothers haven't
Caught up in a world where they judges us wrong
And them guns are blastin
Could have been up in something tragic
But that ain't me
But that ain't me
But that ain't me
But that ain't me
But that ain't me
Accolades don't impress me naw
Sk** level is a breath to draw
Just different grades and color lungs involved
Tryna inhale every grasp and awe
Won't stroke an ego for features
Never kissing any a** for shows
If it's meant to happen it'll happen homie
Gold character characters what matters most
Used to feel the pressure worrying
About what certain people thought of me
It used to gut me clean
With a guilt that bleeds
Til my growth esteemed
Conscious redeemed
You ain't gotta fake to liking nothing of me
Don't gotta lie to kick it with me either
All I ask is that you keep it funky really
Keep it positive and don't you emo teeter
I'm just really thankful I done found my journey's rhythm now Smoke my black and mild and nod my head to my created sound
Upward bound, not worried bout ya commentary
Quite contrary, negativity
I'm at my speed, and I'm at ease
When I'm just, me
Hook:
Everything could with could when wrong
But thank God didn't nothing happen
I thank ya that I made it
Cause so many of our brothers haven't
So many stay frontin' just a live a dream
But I ain't up for actin'
Naw, I ain't up for actin'
That ain't me
That ain't me
But that ain't me
But that ain't me
But that ain't me
