Yeah 
You can judge me all you want 
But if I was to ever lucky enough to have a child 
Iu0027d love em enough 
To tell em everything 
And this is where I would start 

Back in the days, before iPads actually 
I was trynna be the fierce one, spittin in ya Eardrum 
Cuz Kweli did it, spittin nimble and gifted 
With the likes of Norah Jones and UGK, simply sufficient 
Reticent in a solemn night in my first digs, Jacksonville NC 
Nurturing my verses behind a large oak desk 
Collecting Soundclick beats with the latest HP 
Still I stay cheap 
Refusing to buy a bed; a bachelor pad for real 
My sister on a foldout couch whenever she would visit 
Iu0027m on a futon mattress, ignoring the insistence to build the futon 
Rather get my crew on 
Trey-Deuce-Deuce 
Producing a EP with a few songs 
Cheap mic, cheap software, fist full of dreams 
Wet behind the ears with no kinda fears 

I do it for the soul 
One of the few ways that I feel whole 
The creativity 
Is vivid wisdom for my liberty 
Sometimes the love, I donu0027t feel it 
But Iu0027m too invested to give you up so easily 
Real Shit! 
Ah – I feel like something else got me... 

La-La-La La-La... 

Meraki, come over here to Papi 

La-La-La La-La... 
La-La-La La-La... 

What! 
Sometimes I get crazy baby girl you gotta watch me 
 
La-La-La La-La... 

Trynna be the fierce one spittin in ya eardrum 
With the lifestyle I live, you couldnu0027t compare none 
Luring other Marines to take pictures in their underwear 
Claiming I was a photographer and nothing weird 
Was going on 
A lonely kid with money to blow 
After a failed relationship, and they ainu0027t even know 
Got that House In Virginia, stayed essentially celibate 
Wasnu0027t selling a bit, but I was buying for the hell of it 
I used to ride thru 
Wilmington, Fayetteville, Raleigh, Charlotte 
Blowing wind in the face of caution 
Trynna be cordial through online dating 
They would just talk my ear off; I was patient 
Meanwhile, scoping my neighbor on the low 
Saturdays, shirtless, waxing his black Monte Carlo 
Swapping glimpses, timid, I wouldnu0027t draw close 
Peeking through venetian blinds, refinancing my car loan 

I do it for the soul 
One of the few ways that I feel whole 
The creativity 
Is vivid wisdom for my liberty 
Sometimes the love, I donu0027t feel it 
But Iu0027m too invested to give you up so easily 
Real Shit! 
Ah – I feel like something else got me... 

La-La-La La-La... 

Meraki, come over here to Papi 

La-La-La La-La... 
La-La-La La-La... 

What What! 
Sometimes I get crazy lil man you gotta watch me 

La-La-La La-La... 

To my unborn child 
When he asks me how 
How I made it 
How I made it 
Keepin it real, keepin it real (Yeah, Yeah, yeah) 

More positivity, less bullshit 
More brimstones thrown for less truth from the pulpit 
I was trynna be the fierce one, spittin in ya eardrum 
Kweli and T.I. in my veins, I fear none 
Especially when I heard Kwe “Give Em Hell” 
Religion getting skittish when in reference to my existence 
And this is how I conceived my artistic mission 
And this is how I perceived my personal discipline 
Turning out the females at open mics 
Alongside Gemynii Evolving as she stole the nights 
Only my fervency turn curses into blessings 
Only my urgency turn near-death to new life 
Viral meningitis couldnu0027t divert my messages 
And a doomed bus trip in Honduras didnu0027t make me lose sight 
Eardrum, bumpin in my Chrysler 
Metaphysical vibes heighten to enlightenment 
Flowing the nicest through fiber optic bandwidth 
And more testicular fortitude than you can manage 
 
I do it for the soul 
One of the few ways that I feel whole 
The creativity 
Is vivid wisdom for my liberty 
Sometimes the love, I donu0027t feel it 
But Iu0027m too invested to give you up so easily 
Real Shit! 
Ah – I feel like something else got me... 

La-La-La La-La... 
Something else got me... 
Something else got me... 

La-La-La La-La...
