I'm just a young Bachelor Tryna be a Master of his fate Though technically a Ph. D is more my mental state Got a ton of Associates who swear that I'll be great But when it comes down to it I feel like I'm the biggest bate I hate that I'm my biggest critic Always swimming In the belief that I'm just a different kind of guy But at the same time Only human Feeling like judgement's just looming over me Who I'm supposed to be Is still blooming Into the man that my daddy wasn't Tryna be a good example to my little cousins And the other youngings Who feel like The streets are always buzzing Calling their name Now I'd never claim To be one of those rappers in the game Seeking fame and accolades I'm not searching for no one else's praise Just my momma and God's To beat all the odds Of a statistic I was always given But I was never living We ain't Behemoths We're just giants Reaching zeniths Without pretense Our stories unfold in its un-sequence We hold the secrets Of breaking the chain Of all the heartache and pain We can replant family trees On better terrain If we just believe Let me leave you with this Just a short list Of principles That's extremely critical to lift You into a season of blessings No question It'll stop all the stressing And it's Loyalty Communication Love Remember your origins and where you come from And I promise that the sun Will shine on you Cuz you stayed true to your Authentic self When everyone said not to You are Authentic You are Authentic (and that's enough) You are Authentic You are Authentic (and that's enough) Not gonna lie I never thought that this would get made Cuz this is way this too sentimental To even get played By radio stations Always tryna stick to the wave Of people spitting bout cyclic natures of thinking the same But nah That ain't me I'm just a lyrically potent Optimistic prime example of a well-spoken Soul who ain't broken Rather I've been transformed I was born To speak peace and positivity To the generation I'm in And the ones after me I'm actually The emphasis of a stone that builders refused Thinking I could not fit into the mold that they viewed I'm the fuse, matter of fact I'm Common meets Hughes Meets Cole and CHIKA I intertwine poems And rhythm'n'blues I'm the product Of Chance, Jill, Ms. Badu Big Boy, Tupac And 3000 too One of the few Last Poets left Giving you everything My life, my soul, and my breath All so you can understand The depth of what I mean I am Authentic in my vibes and my dream A seed in this garden we may not get to see Writing symphonies that were never meant for me It's for those who understand the message that I preach That individuality Beats conformity every time; let your shine To block out all the haters They'll realize you belong in the majors Til then just grind, and I promise It'll be just fine It'll be just fine
