And I know I’m gon' be alright
I know I’m gon' be all good
And I’m gon live this life just like I should
And I know I’m gon' be alright
I know I’m gon' be all good
And I’m gon live this life just like I should, and I put that on
If you felt the stress I felt, it’d make your head explode
Puffin' on this medical, it’s lonely on this pedestal
Had a relationship, but I had to do like Usher had to let it go
Damn that shit hurted; was an ace but had to let it fold, and behold:
Yet another chapter in this book of mine ended
Sometimes I look back at these pages and I find ‘em extended
I’d thought them permanently cemented, yet the lines were amended
And I see clearly now the rain I probably could’ve prevented
But that pain is the reason I evolved; I turned every single
Loss into a lesson I had to solve. It taught me to keep my
Head up and stick to my resolve. Keep calm if I
Bruise, got my loved ones for the salve, like a crutch if I
Fall; and keep ascending till I reach that apex
Then look back and laugh at these weak ass paychecks
Now I’m risin' like a rocket at a speed that’s breakneck
I done came a long way from coppin' sneaks at Payless
I do this for my city like the mayor
Keep it covered and make it hotter like the ozone layer
Tryna burn out the betrayers, negate the naysayers
Level up the neighbors so we can slay the game players
And I do this so my niggas can build dynasties
Travel the globe, and get to experience all the finer things
View the things they’d like to see in mind-numbing varieties
One day find a peace, that can wash away the anxieties
I do this for my family without question, cause
They helped my voice when I was strugglin' with expression
They uplifted me with joys so I never fell in depression;
They’re a God-sent blessin', that pushed me towards progression
And I do this for you, cause I know the paragon within you;
Know you hurtin' but we got us a Marathon to continue
It’s one foot in front of the other, and carry on until you
Gone, and they sing your songs to love and reminisce you
Nip we miss you
