Eternal

(album: Requiem For A Dream Deferred - 2019)

Ay bro it's all about the timing and it's all about your patience
Man them niggas ain't happy for you, they just surprised you made it
Said it's envy they disguise behind them fake congratulations
If the window to your soul is through them dilated pupils
Then yo' spirit is off, yo' intentions filled with convolution
Niggas running in place and confusing that for starting movements
Making traction, making plans but lacking action, fuck up the law of attraction
Ass backwards, imagining massive amounts of whatever you seek
Meanwhile we posted at the mountain peak
Ate some shrooms out in Maui then came back and hit Manhattan Beach
Put some potent flower in the fronto leaf, acquire peace
A silent seed, a quiet storm, now I can think as waves crashing in front of me
Complacency just ain't my Earl Grey, that's not my cup of tea
Posted with my dogs at the kennel, cool and off the leash
Feel like DMX, I don't know what these bitches want from me
Nigga's been living a dream, I know that it seems I'm moving comfortably
But on the contrary, I went beyond my means and did what was necessary
In the field, tryna make a hit, I felt like Eric Berry
Legendary, man gon' live forever like I'm Wayne Perry
Respect over money, you can't spend it when you dead and buried

(God)
Tryna read through the fine print in the liner notes
Remain silent, stand tall, I took the final oath (God)
To get around the bullshit we had to do the most
Gon' need a bigger boat, we in this raft that can barely float (God)
The tide rise but we watch it from a high rise
I wonder how the fuck y'all navigating through them blind eyes (God)
Things change, tables turn as the time flies
We gon' live forever nigga, legends never fucking die (God)

I'll never die, I will be felt, energy multiplied
More than a mortal man, I'm an extension of the hand of God
Still abroad, mentally I'm gone, niggas been living it large
Pushing it through the setbacks with more drive than a foreign car
Coupla scars, bumps and bruises adds character, take the flaws
Niggas ain't in the game, y'all watching from afar
Still unsure of who you are, still a tourist in this thing just passing by
Must stay awhile for your words to carry weight
You gon' need your opinion verified, not no blue check
We doing boot checks to see whose laces torn and discoloured from getting they feet wet
I pass the Litmus test, I attest I'm a testament
A test of will, a test of strength, a test of faith
The bitter taste of taking the backseat and putting your dreams on hold
Of getting your shit together so you can get back in control
Revenge is best served cold, preferably à la Mode
How the fuck can you block my vision, you don't even know my goal
How the fuck can you stop my mission when we on a different road
Just sitting reaping the benefits from decisions that I chose
Outside the box, you can't define me, nigga yeah I broke the mold
Silicon Valley with this grind, you see how we cracked the code

(God)
Tryna read through the fine print in the liner notes
Remain silent, stand tall, I took the final oath (God)
To get around the bullshit we had to do the most
Gon' need a bigger boat, we in this raft that can barely float (God)
The tide rise but we watch it from a high rise
I wonder how the fuck y'all navigating through them blind eyes (God)
Things change, tables turn as the time flies
We gon' live forever nigga, legends never fucking die (God)
