Rapsody - Laila's Wisdom lyrics

Look don't worry bout anything they told you ‘member what she SAID about winter and what the cold do Everything's a season and some things you gotta go through Believe me I don' seen it all, you're young talking to the old you When haters come around look em down tell em “we don't owe you” You gon lose some friends but those circles are better than the ovals A black man left the oval Keep that style you got soulful The best of the best gon fear you Sky's the limit see, I told you You gon be the difference between McDonald's, Burger King and Whole Foods Do your thang and slip thru ib em they ain't gon have no clue You won’t need no toll booths, they'll pay attention, Hov do They'll ask you for advice tell em the same thing i told you Should be a crime to be this fly and awesome And to think love is all it cost em Feel like Jordan this the ball that Pippen tossed em I'm the underdog and gold is what flossin’ When they told me my chances of losing was higher than divorces You gotta know your worth and work ‘cus I can't force ya Growing up I shopped at Kmart and Ross’, celebrated every win And learned to learn from all my loses I never signed paperwork without reading the clauses My parents worked way too hard to not get no credit for it I'm a trip like Grayson Allen Y'all never made me VALID I learn that from Phylicia Rashad and Debbie Allen I'm the other one them another ones screaming like Khaled We don't match up, ask my stylist I rock Nike and New Balance I drink water by gallons, y'all should call me captain I was told to be the flow and not follow it while y’all actin’ I'm the better version of what you used to think and call talent I been bankin, check my balance You a bet away from skidrow I owe Sallie Mae but owe my people way mo’ God rested on the seventh day And worked on me on day fo’ I’ve been k**ing for a long time My lawyers gotta caseload I cracked the code, it's no longer safe for y'all Kujo still the scariest of all the dogs After that come all my dawgs Talent level’s thru the walls I'm Juggernaut, riding wit my car doh’ locked Coppers known to hang out on these kinda blocks Don’t get shot! They say we 3/5ths human, well the rest of me’s an autobot I’m really hot You should ask my team and dem Jamla’s still the squad and my confidence is thru the roof I appreciate the compliments Laila’s Wisdom, rest in peace.
