I’ve been praying for a way out this sorry predicament facing my people out here
Came in the world with a label I never signed to, why you follow me everywhere
They be watching our movement, hoping we would slip
So when I fly, I keep it low like a zip
That’s open without my consent, that’s a blip
We make it to the finish line they just skip
The channel so our victories never seen
By generations so we start it again
So many times that by now it just seems
Like we’re only created to entertain
Big dreams keeping me on retainer
Run the tracks till we run out of trainers
Shoutout my doubters I couldn’t repay
Them for all of the time they’ll never regain
There ain’t not match, it’d be lopsided
My full backs stay rock solid
Always out of control like it’s autopilot
Smooth operating, we would love Sade
By algorithm I’m overrated
My father knows I’m underpaid
Mother's waiting for what’s on the way
Soon I’ll give a reason to wake up late

Paid lotta money to service the belly
No fee for my peace, these problems are free
Watch out for my lips! I know it's prophetic
I’ve seen all the smoke in your ears when I speak
I’ve been impatient to come out the jig-
Saw too many puppets I know I don’t fit
Please believe when they tell you they’re sick
Coz I’ve been in the room I won’t show you the pics
Paid lotta money to service the belly
No fee for my peace, these problems are free
Watch out for my lips! I know it's prophetic
I’ve seen all the smoke in your ears when I speak
I’ve been impatient to come out the jig-
Saw too many puppets I know I don’t fit
Please believe when they tell you they’re sick
Coz I’ve been in the room I won’t show you the pics

You and I have a lot to say
About the way our countries are run today
About the type of music that you ought to make
To get the radio plays if that is still germane
Who am I to know, maybe it is in vain
I'm just leaving you a note for the sake of change
Give a man a taste of a shooting range
Reach for the earmuffs cuh my music bangs
Should I tread the path of those who keep the dream alive all the while leading a life in a bus lane, maybe never make it to your hall of fame
But they're never too far from the ones we acclaim
Shall their, legacy die before I wake
I'll put an extended track on every mixtape
And kill every verse like Wayne in 08
Hand a tko to the game like AJ
The real in my elation ship
With this society based on a Hollywood script
I live and learn observe the curves
The twists and turns to the point of no return
And earn my G's a spell in the directors seat
If we should believe in the democracy
Then I see
You and I breaking G R O U N D
To make the I M P A C T
We have been talking about it
We have been waiting for it
But those who don’t want it to happen
Are paying good money for it
We feed off the change and we shut up?
I’ll be taking my chance in the run up
To whatever it is we have coming up
Best way to pay you back is not to let up

We keep the rhythm alive
Ready or not we arrived
Liars be acting surprised
That look on your face has no price
We keep the rhythm alive
Ready or not we arrived
Liars be acting surprised
That look on your face has no price
