Young World Young World
I know ya I know ya feel my pain
Young World, Young World
Young World, Young World
Young World, Young World
I know their blood runs through your veins
It don't mean you're the same

Another chance to get it right
Tryna fly my way to freedom I can't miss the flight
Been talking to my pops he tryna give advice
On how I should maneuver when I'm living life
Do it and I'll get the stripes
I'm yearning for
Just keep ya eyes wide open and ya circle low
In numbers, cause niggas out to hunt ya with a purpose boe
Though we are really close guess other paths differ
Cause I can't really say the same for my half sister
A couple forced "I love you's" and some bad tension
From when she pecked me on my cheek with her fast kisses
And now we rarely talk, I know that dad miss her
I just wish we could evolve, it's such a sad issue
But who's to blame for our anxiety
Pretending like it's working
See perfect's what we try to be
Entirely disgusted by this custom cause it tires me
Awakened to the truth, time to lay this lie to sleep

See my momma named me Xavier Padgett
Though I'm known to this world by the alias Matik
Cheeta raised me in the church so I be praying for chances
Told me God ran the show
So I chased him for answers
Just tryna find a way
My mother raised me well and I ain't tryna stray
From everything she ever taught me cause her mind is great
But her brother outchea buggin
Telling lies today, stressing her all kind of ways and I can't take it
All the money & the effort for the time that's wasted
Living in & out jail for your minor cases
Doing everything she can but it's time to face it
That you're selfish asshole, and your mind is vacant
She always gave yo ass a chance to eat too
So why'd you ever try to bite the hand that feeds you
I stand for peace truth, but I'm tired of you stressing her
So we had to cut you off, wish you the best of luck

Yea
Blowing Kush, drinking Artesian water
Tryna gamble up money cause shit I need a quarter
Of dat good shit to smoke so I can flee this horror
Yung nigga down to his last, and currensy's in order
Need it to operate, I'm scheming to populate
My pockets with some profit to profit
Jesus, don't knock the way
I'm living
I'm driven to make it despite the sign of times
Faithful in the sense of my patience so fuck a 9 to 5
I've seen it all, it was hard at times
To watching God intervene when the stars aligned
Still runnin but it's feeling like I'm far behind
Been determined since I've had my debit card declined
I kept that all in mind and said I'd never go broke again
Well here it is 2 years later, no dough again
Yea I'm tryna defeat the odds & shit
This is really faith a youngin quit his job for this
So that'll demonstrate how clearly there is God in this
I'm not ya simple ass pea in a pod ya bish
Hear the Biggie, Jay Z, Nas, 2Pac in this
I'm the living proof to let you know that God exist
This is my testimony, Ms. Simpkins told me I had one
Love you to death, you made me feel like ya grandson
Maybe you thought I'd turn out to be a preacher though
But this message that I'm speaking's really reaching folks
Tried to speak it slow but man I got so much to say
I guess I'm way over they heads and that it's just a waste
Of my time they can't denounce a beast
Stay in the studio so Markus gon & bounce the beat
I been looking for a manager to vouch for me
Going place to place, I guess I'll hit this couch for sleep
See this world never offered me a ounce of peace
Had to isolate myself in a house for weeks
Just to find the answers, meditative states, divine trances
Clean charka. Good karma. Supplied mantras
That I mentally mention when I can find chances
Just to practice these actions b/c my mind's frantic
In the midst of the stillness see It's instilled in my brain
Every right to all my wrongs, are you feeling the change
And every time I've ever failed was due to fear of the games
That I was playing with would make a difference and it's shame
It took me that long to reach a conclusion
I reflected and I seen the delusion
That was cast upon us all
To kill the peace & confuse us
And to keep us all from peaking
But I'm seeming elusive
Had to shake it off my nigga
Young world, I know you feel my pain
Can't really do it but still I sang
Understand I got the drive and this is still my lane
Yea we've weathered through the storm but you must feel my reign
You must feel my reign

Young World
