(album: All Praise Is Due - 2020)

Yes Lawd, knowledge, nigga, uh huh, lawd, eh, huh

Said I been thinking what they want from a nigga never pressed
Stressed from the pressure, the pain held close
Nigga never falling off nor have I come close
Lost in the sound of a trance but I smoke
I'ma invoke the potential you thought wasn't real
I don't think they was ready for the sick type feel
Big bills, I'ma need those
Hilary or Monica, a side and a main bitch
Got 2 women, went half on the O still got 2 figure
We can split it down the middle, we can add up all the numbers
You do what you gotta do and I do what I wanna
I've seen the big picture while you mothafuckas been blind
Told them I would get it on my own terms, in time
I feel like I'm Jordan coming at you from the baseline
Saved by the Bell, Kelly Slater on a new wave
Knocking off top niggas faker than a toupee
You say you dope but I don't so I disagree
I can't attest to the lies that you speak
My mind has been made up so fuck what you think
I roll up and light one for all y'all to see
I can't complain so I don't try it
I fuck with no one, that's an equal bias
I beseech with kindness and proceed with blinders
Only time can tell if I survive or fade, yeah yeah

I don't know where I'm going (take your time)
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm going

Yes lawd yes lawd, knowledge
Fuck the nonsense, I'm gon' step around it
Highly touted, doubted by my peers
Got no fear of the unknown
I don't adhere, to the rules and regulations, never that
It's a fact of life I found for sure it's real
Let me spread the word that's heard I'm sure they feel
But they crucified the ones that shed the real
Never lie in time you'll find it was the truth, I
Digress with the flow then I
Dive deep to the depths of your soul nigga
Cold with it, authentic consonant carcinogenic
It's a scent to your smoke when a nigga spit it, can ya dig it
I'ma give you some honesty, when I do it let me prove it
There's a different energy when I does it but you'll love it
See I don't covet what these niggas covet
Never find me peeking in your kitchen cupboards
Rappers come a dime a dozen nowadays
Niggas sweet like a soft pack of Now & Laters
Half an hour later you forgot about 'em
Play the same game, what's that nigga name?
Darkskin Jermaine you don't get the reference
Shit I kinda like it, that's a bit refreshing
Best believe I'm more than mortar most of time
I [?] extra, you just hammer time
Tell 'em get in line nigga, fall in
All in never half ass
Flag flown at a half mast like sets at halftime
Roll a couple big joints RGIII
Tighter than a knee-brace
Peace of mind's a keepsake known to some
Until you get up in the game no one notice ya
It's the sickest cycle, I avoid it all, yes lawd yes lawd

I don't know where I'm going (take your time)
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm going
