From a sea of black diamonds that hardly see no shine
I wiped the dust, the rush, and the lust for petty crime
around cookie cutter brothas rehashing the same sound
so I took the adjective cool and made it a noun
I’m just a smooth operator while you haters lack papers
I drop je-wels and push bread like a baker
Keep it finesse playing chess amongst the best
You salty, little pests got that pressure in your chest
I maintain the squad goals, even though I got foes
I’ve been repping southern Cali from the valley to the coast
And then I rock shows, tickets drop, cop those
Champagne Brut Rose, go ahead and pop those
Y’all jocking for my stack tho, move to the back bro
You can find beef but no cream cause you lactose
I had a vision with precision but we stuntin from nothing
All I need is the sun, a special one, and I’m on to something
And I believe we should take this a little further now
Years ago, they would say I wouldn’t make it out
But I find a way to go on (I want the)
Love to carry on
Picture this, two kids, one slick one chick
They rode around town trying to score a wet brick
And it only took one time, and only one line
For one to get lit and start to trip all the time
The other took the bottle while pops played the lotto
Cashing checks in advance while his son starts to follow
His girl now an addict and he seeks to be loved
Not knowing the inner strength it takes to get up
This happens all the time so we need to zone out
Your credit is your health never take the loan out
The crabs get the biting while I continue writing
Once you out the barrel they rush into hiding
It started with a pen and pad, cooking lyrics in the lab
Fingaz where you at? Let’s bring that flow back
Now I see sour OGs inside the deep Kali Mist
There’s only a select few that follow me on this
I ain’t stopping till I’m docking to the topping of the mountain
Got my lyrics spouting like rushing waters in the fountain
It’s the soloist, putting all of you on notice
You can thaw me all day and I’ll still be the coldest
I ain’t nothing to play with so you might as well lean back
The chords on the boards got you nodding to the track
We just got it like that as the trees get sparked
Y’all dying in the light while living in the dark
And I believe we should take this a little further now
Years ago, they would say I wouldn’t make it out
But I find a way to go on (I want the)
Love to carry on
My shadow moves before I walk
My shadow breathes before I talk
Internal, Paradise
External, Sharing Light
My shadow moves before I walk
My shadow breathes before I talk
Internal, Paradise
External, Sharing Light
Internal, Paradise
External, Sharing Light
Internal, Paradise
External, Sharing Light
