Kito Kondowe - Commencement (prod. Brock Berrigan) lyrics

[Verse 1] It's a select few that's affecting the ma** All they do is act cool but their message is whack And now, its concluded the genre is trash Meanwhile good tunes getting drowned from the pack And well, cause its true that there's more to this rap Its tool that I use to express where I'm at And get infused with the courage I lacked Admire my hue on the spectrum of gra** For me greens no longer the priority I'm depressed from the thought of chasing currency Besides lifes to short to afford to be That's why I'm grateful for the ones that encouraged me To realize that my self-worth is valuable I mean may make bank but perhaps I won't And if true happiness in an asymptote I'll find solace the knowledge that I'm rather close [Verse 2] The day I'm in it for the fame is the day you should discredit me I'm not in it for the throne or the legacy I do this selfishly, I do it just for me To find higher purpose and I'm not talking about a deity You see, I do it for my mental being I do it for the uplifting feeling That's why cherish this generous discipline Yield the results from the effort I'm putting in Never thought that this would be a pa**ion, but I'm part black so I must love rappin, right? Albeit I'm being a bit facetious But Jesus i never dreamed of the day I'd need this To sit down and salvage my psyche And work on becoming the person I might be Cause potential is a sketch of the future And it it'll fade away if you draw it too lightly So write hard, life goes on regardless Like the beat of the drum in the marches I learned not to succumb to the darkness Despite all the anguish and the hardships Instead use it as fueling to prosper I feel I still have so much to offer And even though it feels good to be heard Well, That's not the reason that I wrote these words
