Perspective

(album: Uncommon Knowledge - 2016)

Eh, yeah yeah
Lawd
Aha
Eh
Knowledge, nigga
Eh
Lawd
Ah, ah
K-Def good look on the beat I appreciate it
I'm feeling great about myself
And don't the sky look blue?
And don't the grass seem greener than it normally do?
I got nothing but love for you baby
I got nothing but love for you honey
Lawd!

Pick up my difficult flow
The pick and the roll
The way that I give and I go
A literal Tyrant
That's taking the time to explain
The way that I studied the game
Perfecting the craft
Presented you more
I make it a point to define that I'm finding
That people in love with the fake
I said that I move at a sickening pace
The picture I paint
Is filled with the feeling and sentiment
Sending you positive affirmations
Giving you lyrical affidavits
Niggas are making exaggerations
Never created facade
I pray to the gods
Thank you for giving me life
A talented flow I'm invested
And I understand I have to stay focused
I know what I know it's the
The notion I'm making you sick and
I'm quicker to get with a flick of a wrist
When I pick up a pen
The prophecies spilling
I gotta get better
To sharpen my skills
It is a hunger that's fit for the harder
I'm peeling, not peeling the cap
I'm taking it back
And I'm feeling very apart
The people not really accepting these thoughts
They lie on the records, I'm giving the truth
The fact of the matter is I am aloof
But what can I do?
Continue to work at a rate
That nobody has actually seen
So I'm never leaving the house
Except when I gotta record
The minimal force
That most of these niggas have shown
They plagiarizing like attack of the clones
The reason I'm going as hard as I do
I'm fluent in different ethics
But work is the one that is truly effective
Investing my time, investing my mind
I feel like it's worth it
I favor my isolation
Saving a place with nobody's opinion
I pray and I hope that it works
My spirit it hurts
My soul has been going berserk
I cannot take all the ignorance
Stripping the youth of their innocence
Witnessing children we see as the future
They throwing their lives away
The party and bullshit
Bipartisan pulpit
You're one of the cool kids
But acting a fool yeah? Ha
Look inside yourself
Or search your soul
To find a purpose

I'm feeling great about myself
And don't the sky look blue?
And don't the grass seem greener than it normally do?
I got nothing but love for you baby
I got nothing but love for you honey
I'm feeling great about myself
And don't the sky look blue?
And don't the grass seem greener than it normally do?
I got nothing but love for you baby
I got nothing but love for you honey

Now can I can kick it?
Nigga yes you can!
But can I kick it?
Nigga yes you can!
I float away inside my mind
I'm feeling high
I float away inside my mind
I'm feeling fine
Now can I can kick it?
Nigga yes you can!
But can I kick it?
Nigga yes you can!
I float away inside my mind
I'm feeling high
I float away, I float away
I float away, I float away
Lawwwwwd!

Taking it back to a time
Oh when integrity was a priority
Purposely putting your life on the line of the page
And the lyrics you wrote with a pen and that
Everything you would say on a record
Was actual fact
You made a relatable track
But that will not get you paid
They don't want your pain
They want you to be like the rest of these lames
That love to conform by sickening form
They praising [?] people adorn
And I'm feeling torn
I know I can switch it
And give you the negative
Dumbing it down and
Remake it repetitive
The lesson I learned
Is stay to yourself
Believing in rhetoric
That never helps
Just do what you love
And try to focus on your passion
Thinking of your life and
The things that you want to accomplish
Sacrificing is a steady and constant
I know it's hard when
You're lacking your confidence
Constantly haunted by all the
Mistakes that you made in the past
You gotta progress and let go of stress
Finding the beauty in difficult times
Relieving the pressure you work on your mind
Reliving the moments that
Made you the person you are
I swear that it will get you far
But never depend on the
People you feel like you need
Don't ever think you need a friend
I used to think I was strange
Or maybe insane
But I wouldn't have it any other way
Keep it a 100
I give you the gospel
And you coulda seen that
My shit was the truth
Lawwwwwd!

Knowledge!
K-Def I appreciate the beat
God bless!
Faiz is on the boards too

"I like your style!
