Belong To The World

[Verse 1] Walk around the city by my lonesome All that what I see is where the flow from There's a million faces in the place to be Get it where they fit in trying slip in which space is me Within the sea, am I unique or just another fish To grow feet and walk a beach how most done Evolvin' at a speed is hard to see I'm in the chill lane I be in the lobby in a party where I feel strange Never was the cool dude, never was a suave guy More like the odd guy, want a woman to root to Never wanted to be the type that they were used to Now I'm flying somewhere overlooking a dream And being overlooked did wonders for my esteem Now I get a lot of likes like I'm the one that they grew to Something I couldn't see when I belonged to the scheme Separated from the cliques and I created a team It was me, Amir Mohamed , Oddisee is the squad Much appreciation to 'em both of them gave me a job Tried to tell 'em I ain't part of the commerce of art They was "Like yeah you are, you smart" [Chorus] I'm just trying to break out the mould Trying to do the opposite of everything that I'm told Try to put me in a box, already in a globe So I don't get offended by the thinking of the old Where I'm at is where I go, and a circle ain't my thang So it seems there were two gangs Not enough, but too much changed Two extremes and we are caught in the middle Forever lost in the process to choose 'tween Somebody ask what do you claim I belong to the world [Verse 2] Save a seat for the quiet one I'm working hard to make my ones able There ain't a place that I don't call home Was dropping beats at the lunch table Now you can buy one, gotta keep my funds stable The Western world to me is all wrong And Babylon becoming unstable, don't wanna die young I'm making moves like the ice caps staying hot with a tight track Never spoiled I don't want labels If you can find one, take it that they all wrong I'm feeling to unchain you And liberate you from the Wall Streets you occupy There's a lot of sky and underneath it a lot of pie And you don't need a bigger plate, just a smaller stomach You fed up on the feeling once, and you convinced you want it Well go and get it, be another statistic Bit off more than you can chew and so you started to vomit I don't go that route, I don't hang with them I just go around the globe and not a turn for the stunting And keep it all in house, the world is my backyard Don't try and break my fence, nah [Chorus] [Verse 3] Whats a clique, whats a crew, what's a gang to a brother who been doing this thing all along I belong to my name, that's the only set I claim I ain't bothered by the politics of fame I perform, they put on, that's the norm, trying to get me on a song like baller this, shooter that Then they got wrong mic This the wrong platform, they about the wrong life This is for the people I'm just trying to cut a path forward Trying make some music for the future that will last long Though the never ask for it I'ma give it to 'em, I'ma give it to 'em Pioneering tunes and forever I'ma live through 'em Word to Bob Marley he put memories in melodies It's relevant in the present though he made it in the 70's That right there was telling me the classic where it better be And if it ain't then it don't deserve to represent the pedigree Part of the solution, or part of the problem All the moving parts in the process revolving What are you involved in, answered my calling I belong to the world
