Stal Where You Been

(альбом: Somebody Up There Loves Me - 2023)

Stalley, where you been at? No more disappearing acts
Damn, I really miss that Stalley when you was coming up
Act like they don't know me, say they miss the old me
Now you niggas owe me, better get your money up
I been on a path that got me moving pass that
Gotta put my past behind me, I gotta run it up
I changed 'cause that's what molds me, say they miss the old me
But when they pull up on me
All I hear in my ear loud and clear

Same old, same old, same old, same old (All I hear in my ear)
Same old, same old, same old, same old (Why you change? You ain't the same)
Same old, same old, same old, same old (All I hear in my ear)
Same old, same old, same old (Why you change? You ain't the same)

Quiet as kept, I been keeping my silence in depth
On a spiritual journey tryna connect and keep my soul from debt
They say the force is with you
Money and gold is worthless when the fortune's in you
Man make money, money don't make the man
So when you get it in hand, take care of fam
That's the master plan
Master every part of this art by staying sharp
I'm a massive man
Bigger than any expectations ever put on him
I'm like a hundred-foot giant in this rap game
Never sold my soul, but I gave you all of that pain
The real ones know, so for that, I never explain
My main thing is to maintain the perfect picture captured in my brain frame
Nothing's perfect, why strive for perfection when it's a blurry aim?
The flurries came, got knocked down, stood up on ten
It was hard to smile, turned that 'round to a peaceful grin
Hardships and hard times, we don't dwell on them
In a room full of snakes, I'm always the elephant

Stalley, where you been at? No more disappearing acts
Damn, I really miss that Stalley when you was coming up
Act like they don't know me, say they miss the old me
Now you niggas owe me, better get your money up
I been on a path that got me moving pass that
Gotta put my past behind me, I gotta run it up
I changed 'cause that's what molds me, say they miss the old me
But when they pull up on me
All I hear in my ear loud and clear

On my grind is really to say the least
I was oftentimes just tryna keep it discreet
Never thought to rush shit, was never one to compete
So never put me next to anyone who rhyme over beat
My peers is more unique, more scholar than street
My wisdom, my chi, don't come off-balance, my G
My talent don't sleep, that's the cousin of death
When they expect me to go right, I'm running it left
This is light in the dark, this is life at its best
They be running from truth, but be racing to death
I'm sprinting past niggas before I even go stretch
I spark a L and turn on beats to alleviate stress
I be hiding in plain sight, it's just we don't connect
I put my past behind me, grew for the better
Stayed elevated, grew through pressure and depression, was never jaded
And I will never let a soul come between what God created

Stalley, where you been at? No more disappearing acts
Damn, I really miss that Stalley when you was coming up
Act like they don't know me, say they miss the old me
Now you niggas owe me, better get your money up
I been on a path that got me moving pass that
Gotta put my past behind me, I gotta run it up
I changed 'cause that's what molds me, say they miss the old me
But when they pull up on me
All I hear in my ear loud and clear

Same old, same old, same old, same old (All I hear in my ear loud and clear)
Same old (Why you change? You ain't the same)
Same old (Ooh)
Same old (All I hear in my ear loud and clear)
Same old
