[Verse 1:JXXIII] I'm here how u gone get rid? Contracept- How u gone get kids? To listen to whatever it is Of this conscious shit That you aim to spit, they be blocking it With no intent to get this knowledge shit That we tend to give, It's in our blood..we pass it on It's in our genes, I ain't talking blue ones Baby Get ya clue on! No blues clues IPhone 6 and a pair of new shoes With no paid dues, I'm paid in full I can't teach these kids how to rule But they Watch The Throne, they On The Run They they got the weed, they got the gun They mind on E, but the heat fully loaded But don't mind me, nigga I don't really know shit ....but [Hook:JXXIII] Since day one I been down and devoted To spit real shit, drop bombs And "denote it" My flow encoded Steady dropping jewels Now it's yo turn To put it it to use... Since day one I been down and devoted To spit real shit, drop bombs And "they know that" My flow encoded Steady dropping jewels Now it's yo turn To put it it to use... Since day one I been Down and devoted Down and devoted (voted) (x4) [Verse 2:VonteOfNeWeRa] Since day one of creation The particles making my being Been inside of stars and the planets and dinosaurs Air that we breathing in How is the that not reincarnation? How can we start leading our nation? Set the mark and start chasing Mad and start raving I can't stand being stagnant, heart's racing I saw my ancestors face from star gazing Then I heard the whispers from above That told me: "Do Not Do It If It Isn't For The Love" I reflect on every instance That I've ever given up And it never equal out to the respect Of getting up after falling Even if the fall comes often Love is the universal solvent And what's my involvement? I'm the rebel and the cause Rebel in my flaws Breaking through the levels and the laws How does one get what's desired? They ask why my eyes red? They thinking I'm higher.. But they just can't hide all the fire behind him I feel the mammal leaking from my iris My soul's on the soapbox My soul won't be silenced Balance and find my alignment Found truth in my liars Consumers and sellers and buyers Kings and the Queens and the Pawns There required Bosses, employers and workers get hired And work 'til you die or retire Who you devoted to? Do you and not what they sold you to! Still working for, who they sold you to Break through the mold and use What God encoded you with If it resonates you know it's legit We the culmination of all that has been And all that ever will be How can you ever kill me? (Gahdamn!) I...I...I been Devoted Can't watch as the World just eroding Don't hold and let go Let God motivate all my motives I'm going for goals Gotta follow dreams closely I...I...I been Devoted Can't watch as the World just eroding Don't hold and let go Let God motivate all my motives I'm going for goals, gotta follow dreams closely (ah!) [Hook:JXXIII] Since day one I been down and devoted To spit real shit, drop bombs And "denote it" My flow encoded Steady dropping jewels Now it's yo turn To put it it to use... Since day one I been down and devoted To spit real shit, drop bombs And "they know that" My flow encoded Steady dropping jewels Now it's yo turn To put it it to use... Since day one I been Down and devoted Down and devoted (voted) (x4) [Verse 3:John Preer] Devotion The propulsion that puts you into motion So that you may accomplish greatness With no accomplice waiting To take credit for your hard work Drive Keep on pushing the big body on 24's That is your ambition and let Them inches keep track of your ascension Keep your head down but your mind elevated In tuned with only the highest frequencies Because they hate to see A youngin' with goals and purpose Dodging the holes and serpents Lurking in the brush, don't rush You've been destined for greatness Since day 1, down and devoted To destroy any demons who 'dare Dampen or diminish your dream... Stay focused, True Devotion Comes to those who grind
