Journey

[Verse 1] Life is a journey, before I went the rap route I served niggas off the bench like Stackhouse Going in with no intention to back down My cocaine flow solidified, I spit crack now You get consignment from my mental stash house, I'm back Drought's over, fiend's mouth foaming There's residue in the screen, my mic smoking Time to show these niggas it's doe or die, my eyes ain't closing Ever since I started rhyming, the crime rate's lower And I froze my watch cause time waits for no one Can't fuck with NY, when you think it's over We stay coming back like the Yanks with homers I ain't living on the strength of no one Controls my fate, I hold my weight and know my place When I show my face, it's all love If not, I say "fuck it," I don't mind hate [Verse 2] How the mighty have fallen The city never sleep, look how tired New York is Where I was born and raised is a part of my aura I'm too young to die, to old to try the corners Truth be told, I'd move weight before starving Life has highs and lows like a song from Marvin Police take lives and go free of all charges Justice fucks us and conceives martyrs So I open my eyes to the vision of Malcolm I live for today, yet I wish tomorrow Is better than yesterday don't exist no longer I don't maintain, I elevate and just go harder With verses you sweat like a lyrical sauna The message I'm sending with a pen in my palm is The hiatus is over, I have risen and conquered Laugh now, cry later, this is the karma Hip-hop never died, it's just sick of the drama [Verse 3] Apparently I realized my destiny's To write about life in the street and its complexities In the city that never sleep, many dreams are never reached I ain't afraid to fail if later it will help succeed I'm the same nigga but money change everything From location to patience, it's motivation for every scheme Poetically I'm making a strong case concurrently With the flow presently redefining my legacy Life is purpose and goals, death is not doing Anything can be achieved if you believe, eventually.....
