The Biggest Lie
01:52
|
|||
|
The biggest lie I ever heard was that the meek shall inherit the Earth/
The humble treated as weak/
Beat until they perish into dirt/
But I'll cherish you first for whatever it's worth/
I knew you was insecure but I saw your potential/
I spoke faith into you, you thought I'd use it against you/
Pure intentions, I stay committed when love was a prison/
Different missions but I tried to see your vision for our best interest/
Lotta stress in it, boy I put my chest in it/
Told my soul through the mic/
You sold your soul for a like/
Fuck all the hype, you my brother but we far from alike/
Obviously bright lights blind sight/
In hindsight, I already won but I put up a hell of a fight/
But we all equal/
Only difference is circumstance, it hurts to advance/
But what's worst than not taking a chance/
Nothing/
You better take it or, watch ya plans slip through ya hands/
Like damn grown man I don't know where I am/ (naw)
But I know who I am/ (I know)
But I know who I am/
But I know/
yo/
yo/
aye/

Missing Peace

When shit gets dark mentally, let me be/
I invest in the Art cuz it sets me free/
The Big Dog a God different breed/
Fuck ya pedigree, this shit is priceless/
You lucky that I set a fee/
Capitalism, Economic Terrorism/
Crash collision with my brash decisions/
Feels like part of my past is missing/
But at least I know it's somewhere written/
I was looking for the truth like it was somewhere hidden/
But it isn't it's within us/
A nigga always in the kitchen cookin like it's dinner/
My food for thought a meal for winners/
Life moving fast but I'm not a sprinter/
But I'm runnin for a sack, I'm a bag getter/
Rap niggas not contenders, they cannot offend us/
Love and compassion what you seldom see/
Especially in regards to the children and the elderly/
We all need more tea and elderberry/
To myself I owe it I made it out of my lowest/
The heroic poet move stoic/
I can't show it/ (naw)
I can't show it and you know it/
I can't show it and you know it/ (yo)
I can't/
Naw/

[ Verse 1: ]-
They create wars/
And then blame who they fighting, then claim righteous/
Their chains are the tightest, but my flame is ignited/
When speaking down on my name lames get excited/
They can't change, their lanes are the tightest/
Of growth they frightened/
i be ghost I'm writing/
The ghosts be hyping me up/
I'm mostly typing em in my phone/ uh
I be on the go, I be on the road, I be on a roll/ yo
[Chorus:]- I receive forgiveness through the music/
Man this shit so therapeutic/
I had to lose it all to gain spirit, remain fearless/ (Repeat)
[Verse 2:]-
I'd do anything for my mother, except/
Be something I'm not just to prove I love her/
That's toxicity, you not gettin me/
Tryna match another's energy never replenished me/
Only finished me like Hennessy/
With these rhymes I tend to get finicky/
Hopefully he'll drop a healthy LP before Hell freeze/
Lord help me/
Had to stop puttin my faith in people/
It almost made me feeble/
It almost made me evil n uh/ yo/
[Chorus:]

All this, weight on my shoulders n I'm adding to it/
I'ma bad influence/
Thoughts mad intrusive this path's illusive/
But the math's conclusive/
My past a nuisance to my present/
I'm going through it n I'm growing through it, it's all progressive/
Movements is conducive to the lessons/
I'm through with all the stressing/
What to do with all these blessings/
I could bless you too/
I heard you was, caught up in the mess too/
Aww man not you, God bless you/
I never wanna hear them demons get you/
Keep faith, stop runnin they'll never catch you/
All this rain and stormy weather/
None of it in vain this pain won't last forever I'm doing better/
I found my buried treasure/ uh/
[Bridge:]-
First it's the losses/
Then it's the lessons/
Now it's the blessings/
(Repeat 4x)
It's the essence

Keen 3rd Eye Pt. 2

Even my opps is fans too/
Damn I can't lose/
You can't win when you playing both sides/
Me n my soul we down to ride, we outside/
My spirit make the devil stay inside and hide/
I'm no longer attached to false pride/
I had to take my neck outta that noose hole/
I view the trials as loopholes/
We in the same shoes but got different soles/
I'm glowing n my wisdom tooth growing/
The truth I'm knowing the proof is showing, it's in the pudding/
My G in Canada on the mix, that's good looking/
I got that soul food that good cooking/
I'll serve you a special if I throw the hook in/
I'm tryna get booked and avoid the booking/
It's a short drop from tip top to rock bottom/
Spottemgottem/
Niggas saw him on his rise so they shot him/
Out the sky they dropped em/
Couldn't let those flowers blossom, had to stop em/
Niggas been abandoned and forgotten/
Naturally you turn envious and rotten/
Desperate so now they plotting/
Find out the opps was ya friends it be shocking, you be like not them/
People here today tomorrow they gone in the wind/
So cherish your loved ones if you got them/
I don't post tweets/
My thoughts are not for free/
Pay the fee don't play with me/
Nowadays it cost a lot to speak/
What you say to me/
The things I love most I don't post on Instagram/
I'm smoking insta grams/
I'm getting high in one instant fam/
Damn, this homegrown not no microwave broccoli/
I tell prophecies on beats from Benji Socrate$/
It means a lot to me/
It ain't no stopping me, I'm dropping heat/
I waited a while I got a lot to see/
Opps think they got the drop on me/
If they knew my next move/
They would've already copied me/
Chakras clean 3rd Eye Keen, Gleam/
Chakras clean 3rd Eye Keen/ Gleam!/
Yo
