NS.2 (feat. Koda Kem)

I'm living better now I made both my parents proud Used have no boundaries Now there's shit I don't allow These days people count on me Back then they would count me out I still can't figure out What was that shit all about I still got goals to meet I still got goals to reach Was told to ground myself in truth I'm like tsk obviously As if I'd ever make it out to be more than it seems As if I'd ever change my essence for a magazine I wasn't gifted with this hue to live a normal life I wasted gifted with this view to take in normal sights Everyday I'm elevating reaching newer heights If I descend just know I'm coming back down with the light I know They won't ever see it how I see things Baby girl can I see you this evening I need something better to believe in Uh Knowing what to do's not the same as doing the work My skin resembles the earth Ironic I feel like dirt Can't define my worth I'm like fuck it cause they never will Tryna break the cycle Someone get me off this ferris wheel Head spinning like youngin's Who spin the block when they run a drill Popping pills Got em feeling ill My flow be sicker still Hoping that it cancels out So we can all heal The mission that I'm on Bigger than making mills Aye Men lie women lie Numbers get manipulated Seems like the goal is to get the truth eliminated They make it hard to love yourself if you're melanated We could learn it all And we could demonstrate it I know They won't ever see it how I see things Baby girl can I see you this evening I need something better to believe in I know They won't ever see it how I see things Baby girl can I see you this evening I need something better to believe in So what's the mission now Gotta do more than hold down It's time to elevate Not just yourself but those you keep around Be mindful of the company you keep Some of em creep around Soon as you find out who Peaceful fields turn to a battle ground As I look around I see the culture shifting Those who stayed the same Would say I'm acting different I ain't hard to reach Y'all just acting distant Shout out to the ones I lost I'll forever miss em It's kinda crazy when you think about it If you even think at all If not then I'm appalled But who am I to judge a nigga's flawed I ain't different from none of y'all It was fun We would make a beat Run it back Run it back Keep on writing till I got some heat Got closer to the magic Didn't know that I could be So in motion with the shit Hypnosis when I Look It got deep So be young We could see Like if You learn the fruit by it's tree Big fire Code blues on this Langston hughes on
