J. Cardenas - Let Me Speak lyrics

[Intro] Got a lot on my chest right now, I mean There's a lot I need to address In fact, forget a hook man Let Me Speak [Verse] Yeah, yeah Late nights nothing but lies as my company Shadow of d**h did less to me than my "brothers" did A couple songs got some hits now everybody kin Silly me all I could see were Cherubim Should've known that every face got two sides Too tired to constantly be packing two-ply If you attract who you are, the who am I? Yeah... Who am I? Lost kid in the land of the wicked "Maybe this is my Joseph moment" is what I'm thinking Premonitions of greatness every time I'm chasing my calling So miss me with that commercial sh**, it's truly appalling Young prophet, trying to turn a profit Speaking these words to invest in spiritual allotments So tell me, what are you doing with your garden? Cause I could grow a nation out of a mustard seed if I tried it Thoughts benign, tryna magnify the vision inside So those who slept on me will feel me penetrate their minds Infest it with grime until the diagnostic terminal Mind f**ed Pull the plug and watch you turn into a vegetable I'm just turning over a new leaf New lease on life, but living like I own it all Never fall short of the heights promised to me 11/11 I know you're still riding with me I spent, nights chasing 21 like I never aced a test With the numbers coming through you better place your bets I don't make no threats just promises Cause when it's all said and done, and nothing's done I will be the one Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I will be the one Hold on But hold on for now, I'm on course to settle scores This is a wake up call to all those Who were sleeping on me before Nothing to prove, got nothing to lose Spitting reckless addressing the elephants in the room 265 yeah I always stay repping The pen is mightier than the sword so my words are severing Your brethren Every time I take a swipe at your faction Ain't no compa**ion is practiced While I'm cackling at the fact that You can't fathom the art that I'm crafting Stroke game on Pica**o Over your head like you pitchig to Romano Bravado of a Shady man with the sole intent Of bringing back the dope Cause they've been screaming for an encore Must be the devil or an arsonist Cause fire is the only thing a brother brought in this But I still give a needy chick the cold shoulder You fooling no one Talking big but your feet are getting colder Taking shots like Christopher Nolan The Inception of a new era, Dark Nights make me see clearer Rather keep to myself than make my circle bigger Lifestyle making me hungry for the Filler The crew hit her and quit her and now you wanna wife her? People change, but their habits don't Just cause it ain't yours don't mean that you ain't got the potential for it King in the making life has been moulding me for it I'm only making history once I might as well enjoy it Yeah, yeah Said, King in the making life has been moulding me for it I'm only making history once I might as well enjoy it
