about

Hip-hop/soul track featuring the sounds of Chandanie on the hook and produced by frequent JSWISS collaborator U'Nique Music.

lyrics

People die everyday by the thousands
Kids got one parent and no housing
Kids been abused since kindergarten
Get killed in the streets if they don't harden
20 years wrongly accused and no pardon
Off of weak evidence and some phony charges
I got lucky feel like I dodged every bullet almost feel guilty at times
All these blessings I got even the blessing to rhyme
Know I'm a bad break from losing it whenever I shine
At any a time but never I'm blind
I see the trees through the forest and the bodies hanging from em too
Never got it bad from the cops but I could get it too
Wasn't born wasting the words it came in a middle school
The desktop with dial up up next to the living room
Before I got the 4-track with the cassette tapes
When I thought ball was what would make me as the next great
Never prayed to make the NBA cuz that was stupid
Even at 10 said God I wanna be the best to do it
I had my premonitions mixed but now I got it right
I swapped the stage for the court and went and got a mic
And I don't pray to be the greatest that's the easy part
I ask God to bring the people if they need the art
And keep the devil unemployed cuz I got the flame
And if it don't happen on my time I will not complain
Stop stressing bout rap that ain't life
Same thing goes for money cuz happiness ain't priced

(Chorus: Chandanie)
Let this past oh yea won't regret this
In the past I'd probably resent this
First kiss fast forward nostalgic
Re-playing re-playing re-playing
Let this past oh yea won't regret this
In the past I'd probably resent this
First kiss fast forward now stop
Re-playing re-playing re-playing

Solve a real problem, help a person with a real excuse
Take your brand and leave a brand on something that's bigger than you
Word to my people that call me out when I'm slipping
Friends think they don't see me I'm really bout to go missing
I got work to do, I use my breaks for more work to do
You think I got three degrees cuz every move is surgical
I'm doing self-improvement even when it seems I'm on it
I could do better than most and still be disappointed
Gift and a curse, blessing and burden,
I'm moving like I know but I don't know for certain
I'm just like you but not like you it's complicated
30 something bars and ain't curse once it's shocking ain't it
I find it crazy what's impressing it's absurd like
Showing up on time and staying true to your word I
Couldn't hold my standard any lower but if you impressed
My future full of elements and feats that you couldn't guess
You couldn't see it while I see it from a mile away
I ran 25 and still got a mile to face
That's a marathon plenty thoughts to grab upon
As sort it out my head is a crowded
But that's a task never ending
Last joint said I'd figure it out, that's still pending, true story

(Chorus)
