  • 作曲 : Tahj Chandler/Tariq Trotter/Deborah Lewis/Carl Lewis
  • Saba:
  • I put the punch in the kick instead of punchin' the clock
  • It's no wonder that this is timeless
  • Nights spent sleepin' on the floor, need a bed or at least a cut
  • Since his dreams started to find him
  • The grind never stopped for the workin' class, **** a Birkin bag
  • I learned my colors, then I had to watch what color shirt I had
  • Like a concierge, I showed the way of our concernin' past
  • But everybody can't come alone, I've come to terms with that
  • I ain't never been one to burn bridges, or a burner bag
  • Ironic money turn a man into an island
  • And a friend into a financial advisor
  • Take a family and divide it, in America, the land of the tyrant
  • Still with the same niggas, and that mean the women too
  • The only thing change what I paid for the tennis shoe
  • Like Eminem on the stage 'fore he blew, this is livin' proof
  • Bad things come in threes, good things come in few
  • Yeah, few

  • All the feels we had to run from
  • And he only wanted few things
  • We went back to where we start from
  • Not the only one
  • All the feels we had to run from
  • And he only wanted few things
  • We went back to where we start from
  • Not the only one

  • Niggas reppin' blocks like the taxi wars
  • But to think about turf, is that it never actually grows
  • I tried to focus on the sprouts, like a grocery stove
  • But in the hood, shit don't always go how it's supposed to go
  • So we adjusted like a tailor makin' alterations
  • Altercations in the Austin neighborhood was all for paper
  • Grew up thinkin' swear that it was all contagious
  • How we're all complacent
  • I said "**** it, I'm all in" like I was off the Vegas
  • The follow days I grew my dreads like I was part Jamaican
  • Know the journey waitin' is a lonely one, they'll call him crazy
  • Because believin' in yourself not often celebrated
  • People projectin' a mirror image that is merely hatred
  • The fear in faces is the same as me, period, in Jason
  • All truth, you know I don't lie like some [?]
  • Every day seen people show they color eyes soon they shoot
  • Bad things come in trees, good things comin' soon
  • Few

  • And he only wanted few things
  • All the feels we had to run from
  • And he only wanted few things
  • We went back to where we start from
  • Not the only one
  • All the feels we had to run from
  • And he only wanted few things
  • We went back to where we start from
  • Not the only one

  • Black Thought:
  • From what we knew about my mother
  • She was cut from the cloth of South Carolina color
  • She knew to keep the rude right amount of right color
  • Her old soul remind you of somebody abuelas
  • Mood, the way she dipped into a mental convo
  • When she starin' into your soul and you tryin' not to let her
  • Now and then you might get a word, if not [?]
  • When she take it upon herself to drop an accappella 'bout
  • Different rules, relatives you can't pick and choose
  • How they quick to get confused and they disapprove
  • Grown actin' like they still in school
  • But in the grand scheme of things, it all seems pretty minuscule
  • A cool toast to the people we adore the most
  • Lets hold them close, like the water had a quarter coast
  • I'm wide awoke, what I'm haunted by is more than ghost
  • It's where you slip and sippin' a mornin' roast
  • Listenin' and haulin' oats
  • Oyster flex on the ashy wrist, as I reflect what got me this
  • How I'm [?] kids
  • We from SP and we come in twos
  • I'm runnin' throughs, but good things come in few

  • Saba:
  • I tried that invincible shit, but the principle is
  • When there's niggas defendin' your wig, then it's a pendulum shift
  • I tried to spend a little less like a minimalist
  • But then I can confess that this gets harder the bigger you get
  • The richer get rich, the poorer get pissed, that's just what it is
  • We seen everything from the gutter, the glitz
  • Adults in the crib tellin' they kids to cover they ears
  • Fight with the youngin', and watch they older brother disappear
  • Like two in the front and one in the rear
  • The funds of size when you gotta swallow your anger or stomach your fear
  • All the money you made is a sunken abyss
  • But necessary for the family to have somewhere to live
  • So you stuck with makin' decision more than some wouldn't get
  • The baggage that come with the bag, hope you not fumblin' it
  • Maradona or sprint like I'm honorin' Nip
  • When commas the common denominator all the percent
  • Got us movin' to the pacific in hopes that it would be different
  • The boat we was on had psychics that left some of us swimmin'
  • Don't ask 'bout my independence, we not financially literate
  • Dangle a million dollars when oxygen was the mission
  • We just wanna breathe, we been drownin' down here for centuries
  • Black and brown boy identity
  • Families that depend on me all get turned to assembly line
  • Every line my lineage
  • Glass half full, the other half was the emptiness
  • We turned a bunch of nothing to abundance
  • Few good things

  • Outro:
  • When, when, when uncle Eddie got married to auntie
  • He, he married my aunt
  • You have to tell the story
