Keep Pushin' (feat. Keyiara & Thomas Who?)

I’m this far from being a star And just that close to quitting I never shoulda came close to missing Word to TIP mane Them words hit home 1st listen Felt like he was talking to me When he spoke that wisdom From all angles A prism Speak ya truth And live em These opportunities you got em Or you get em It’s black or white Either you riding or you wit em The grey kind, can’t co-sign But I’ll forgive em Been in a space Where they was sitting on my lap And niggas grilling Really set me in a trap No excuses Hood put me on to that So if the bucks a near I had to turn to Warren Sapp I used to think I need the city On my back The east side is inside No matter where I’m on the map Never forget when I was drinking from the tap And my mom was really high Really thought the phone was tapped No matter what I’m still my momma baby And a fool Ain’t how my momma raised me A hard sell if you thought you Could persuade me Fuck made you think that you could Play me This is destiny I can’t fail it I’m taking every little win To propel it Keep pushing now It’s no settling Til I’m the nigga they came 2 C Like crips spell it Never been the one to fold Gotta stay 10 toes down Fuck next I got now You better believe it I know you think its deceiving I could never let you niggas Knock me off my pivot Tryna stack it up Until I reach some triple digits And when you mention my name Mention I'm about my business Bout to ball hard Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen Yeah Got a little I’m wanting big Gotten older realized Retrospect is a bitch A lotta lumps earned Took awhile to learn from them hits Wit no place in the room I still find a place to sit Observe Find something to come away wit Be the game But not be the one to play wit Actions speak louder Then you could say it It’s one thing to hear it Another when you convey it I done took L's I done took L's I been down this road I can share some good tales Live wit no regrets I done blazed a good trail Made it passed 21 Where I’m from avoided jail Well It’s my time I can feel it in the air Like a whisper in the wind And it raise ya neck hairs Or the eyes from off the street You can feel the blank stares You know it’s coming so you get yourself prepared Never been the one to fold Gotta stay 10 toes down Fuck next I got now You better believe it I know you think its deceiving I could never let you niggas Knock me off my pivot Tryna stack it up Until I reach some triple digits And when you mention my name Mention I'm about my business Bout to ball hard Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen Yeah Ok I'm feeling like Thomas is underrated Writing through my brokenness hoping for reparations Heart turned purple this veteran is decorated They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree lord how I know I'm naked Not questioning the creation Or am I, flip it I AM praying, is answering me on stand by What a spoiled childs point of view I'm a reflection of the mirror that I'm pointing to So who you blaming nigga You'll never make it if excuses all you making nigga I demonstrated all the ways you gotta face the river Baptized in a fire water I cant remember How intoxicating I pray regrets can never fit inside the box I lay in Make a star comet down that's a cosmic statement At my worst I'm the kinda greatest And that's church to the congregation Pass the plate nigga And when you mention my name Mention I'm about my business Bout to ball hard Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen Its bout to be a come up When I'm on Don't you try to run up You wasn't gang gang wit me At the bottom in a bucket Switching lanes wit me When I needed you You aint do a thang for me You say I switched up I mean how could you blame me Never been the one to fold Gotta stay 10 toes down Fuck next I got now You better believe it I know you think its deceiving I could never let you niggas Knock me off my pivot Tryna stack it up Until I reach some triple digits And when you mention my name Mention I'm about my business Bout to ball hard Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen Yeah
