Kelly portis - The Takeover lyrics

[Verse 1] Uh, somebody tell me, who would've guessed it Probably anybody who felt me or checked the ethics Behind my work where I'm finding worth in these Bible segments Supply the worth where I find the worst of my mind's conception Writing a verse, I supply the earth with a timeless lesson You can't get diamonds from holding nickle and dime investing It hurts, but I give it my all and nothing less than Unless there's nothing left, then I fall as a haunted legend I told ya! One day I'll be taking over! Cooking tracks instead of cooking that baking soda Making crack and just for that, I praise Jehova As I get older, less of my homies make it back That makes me wonder why he chose me And in the process I'm still taking more shots than a goalie Rather I be holy or not That's the nail on the head, no hammer like a Glock, pops told me [Talking] Alright, right now I'm in Atlanta and uh... right behind me is a prison You know what I'm saying? Where they keep all kinds of criminals I know a ton of people that are in this prison And it's crazy to think, sometimes, that that could have been me But, you know, I made my mind up. I made that choice, that decision that that couldn't be me That's not..that's not who I am, so I'm not gon' end up like that, you know? And I want this music to hit them [Verse 2] I woke up one morning feeling so different I can't go on living and spitting with no winnings You only get one shot and they can try to block it But I bet you still get the point like Goaltending What do you do when there's too much pressure inside the moment And what was left of your crew is now finally folding The people that believe and you define it as hopeless So now you all divided, tryna find the quotient Uh, that was me just a year ago! But change your mindset, it's funny how a year will go Is it my time yet? I pa**ed all the rhyme tests, defied less than favourable odds That's why they fear me, though And this song right here is a tale of redemption My climb, my grind, their failure to listen My time, these rhymes prepare you to witness My light shines everywhere as long as I'm living [Talking] Don't let anybody ever tell you what you can't be, what you can't do, who you are or who you are not Only you define that. It's called The Takeover. You not taking over somebody else, or anybody else's things You taking over yourself. You're your greatest enemy until you become your greatest ally And that's word. Street
