Moving forward y’all forward motion
Moving forward y’all forward motion
Another shot to our blackness we lost Chadwick Rest In Peace in every endeavor Wakanda forever
Black fist immaculate, Mental elevation hope that’s accurate after this politics no accidents
By design advocates new life call me Lazarus mastered this compared to who’s up there I’m only adequate
Torn rag graduate practicing on cutting back
Red meat I let go of that mindset is ultra black
What up Nas eyes on the prize, What up Asia
When god gave me yall he gave me favor
I finally figured out how these minor cats prolly made it major cuz We been on the sideline thats the guidelines of angels
Raps and hoop dreams for poor black & Booth things latest Jordan’s hardly afford em but we Gucci
The city got a heartbeat, the sound of the soul on a hard beat that Marcus Garvey put my name on a marquee I’m real
The price of fame make em bargain they soul for a sale
But I been purchased with a burgundy drip
Guns and roses, crown of thorns , horns on the posers, lighting up the dark sparking up another summer solstice
Do it for the soldiers who don’t do it for exposure we do it like the chauffeurs when ya soul need a lift
Now they queuing in the vultures cuz this is for cultures we promote it on the socials they get rid of quick
Them Vanilla skies potent if ya skin tone mocha to make it out the hood that depends on focus
Moving forward y’all, forward motion
Wow..... wow

Good Life at 2pm

All we trying to do is live like we mean it
Exercising freedoms see that we ain’t far from Eden
just in a calling season, all we needed was a reason
conquering them demons while we finding a new meaning
try not to get lost here
I been a boss carried my cross through the crosshairs
Counted up the cost walking across all the lost here
Seeing all my flaws wonder if all of it canceled when I’m standing in the gap like a mannequin for my mans and them
What if Jesus wore a Jesus piece rocking a blessed period shirt and true religion jeans ?
Would it change who he was and what he did for me
Or would it change up your perspective of acceptance see my message is in the ingredients and not the recipe, cuz anybody can cook up something they can believe.
I put that glory where it’s supposed to be don’t hope for me when it’s going down we all gon come around like rotaries
Hook
Woke up this morning now that’s the good life
Embracing my son and daughter the good life
Getting some things in order the good life
And I gotta good wife…that’s a good life
Yeah, And you can’t have it all for nothing right
Pick up my cross if I loss then I did something right
2020 took plenty from but I ain’t lose my sight
But enough to see more clearly you ain’t nearing me
And they keep telling me that life is what u make it
I wonder what it takes to feel like we finally made it
Feels like 5 star slave ships platinum laced cages
meant to feel like safe havens for brown and black races man
Least is the greatest
They seek to be the favorite I won’t make it on they playlist cuz I’m man enough to say it
I be dropping jewels on em one for each gem in the ephod, cut from a different stitching the genesis of the Levi’s
Yeah and tell that genre I ain’t coming over
I’m over coming I’m over dumbing down what I hold up
Sinner and saint im something that’s in between em both
I’m in the paint I’m power forward moving in growth
Pass me the rock, when I pivot getting back to my spot an assist is the difference we living giving back what we got
I’m here for the mission , fishing like I was Simon in bondage but by the knowledge I’m guided by god and got it free
Up is down and right Is left if I lose I pass the test embracing the mistake I make and take it as another step
Find a the line between staying woke and taking rest cuz if I Got it all homie then there ain’t nothing left
Hook
Woke up this morning now that’s the good life
Embracing my son and daughter the good life
Getting some things in order the good life
And I gotta good wife…that’s a good life

Divine design every move I made is tailored fit
In the spirit got more privilege than a Taylor swift
Every loss was a lesson I compared it with
The wisdom in it now that’s what we call the failures gift
I been observant and learning using discernment’s that most of the stuff we searching is nothing to be concerned with
Neighborhood habitats, Habits of how we interact with the Ghetto aristocrats And Street scholar diplomats
Ain’t no promises, purpose remains anonymous
So I stay modest and polished in front of the godlessness
For the novices take a piece of this honestness if you planning on signing make sure it’s Christopher Wallace’s .
Do it big , never show ya hand to Delilahs it’s more to life than a profit And following false politics
Alzheimers they forget I’m all genres all commas I salute to the timeless give all honors
Hook
I’m staying woke I peep the process
See the difference is in Seeking knowledge
I ain’t worried about a rappers image
This is more than rap that’s in it do the math its academics
Black clouds vanilla skies that’s the perfect storm
U feel like we out the woods now that trump Is gone
Well I Beg to differ we just out here trading burdens
What was already in this country just came to surface
Who we are for this country is always served it’s purpose
Free labor we fail to realize who we been serving
But We major just finding our royal residence
Using our father features the Elohim and his excellence
Ya latest effort is ya greatest weapon So never second guess the present that’s a gift and blessing Use it wisely
I’m precisely in position my prescriptions pricey
I was purchased so returning me is so unlikely
And i might be where light be that’s my genius
Homie I speak life... you should speak less
I’m all spirit tho it still feel secular so hold ya tongue Rappers ain’t real they real regular (one)
Hook
I’m staying woke I peep the process

Winning at 4pm

4pm on the dot I’m hot like July 5th
I ain’t god son I’m god sent come get yo mind bent
Mind right in hindsight that’s how we break the nonsense
Forgive me for responding but I ain’t fond of the novices
Culturally conscious the flows is sicker than hospice
Socially awkward cuz I don’t ride with the gossips
I confide in the promise and override the constants
To be honest my faith is taking me hostage I was
Doubting like Thomas on top of that didn’t know the outcome
Who knew a album would reveal all the council encountered
Light up the dark at the perfect time when the son is setting
The god hour Gods power good morning breakfast lunch and dinner Good afternoon and good evening reconsider
Have a seat at the table grateful to have you with us
Break bread and let’s commune to the tune of the sinners
Even the Judas knew this losing in part of the winning
Hook
We just out here giving more
To you through this music we do this That’s what we living for
Starting back from the beginning thats how we winning again and then slid in the inner court
I said we winning y’all…. (X2)
Dreams don’t die
Only the dreamers lose sight of what they was dreaming for
Falling for whatever’s depending on what ya leaning on —>
Or rather who Cuz whoever’s got your heart yeah has got your ear
Sometimes to get a restart you gotta reappear
Coolie high harmony started form the bottom that’s why this is still a part of me, made it so hard to part from me,
Pardon me we arguably products of what we born in
Part of the hustle In but aint of it that’s important
Salute the struggle the process is like the confirmation
We measure men by they actions not they conversations
Kind of been contemplating over the times that’s been wasted
The church has left the building feel like i finally made it
Give a congratulations to the congregations conjugating now we separate religion from relationship
This is way bigger than I been making it
Even the Judas knew that losing has its place in it
Hook
We just out here giving more
To you through this music we do this That’s what we living for
Starting back from the beginning thats how we winning again and then slid in the inner court
I said we winning y’all…. (X2)

Revival at 5pm

Welcome to revival more like survival
When every poem is a pyro going viral on arrival
They don’t want no problems
2 1 fifth aficionado make em pause like a staccato
So who you serving the new American idol ?
Loss of words in that convo
All I hear is many ummms no condo
Changing the horizon is more than what you and I know
Lighting up the dark the flows is albino
Rappers all talk Cuz Charlie they favorite rival
Until it gets addressed David’s bridal
I’m more or less the prodigal polished with the acknowledgment only scratching the surface we calling that a serato
Stop minimizing the god flow
Competition hostile that’s how I know it’s the gospel
Shining like it’s el dorado the poet apostle,
That’s more than a message in the bottle It’s written the novel
Feels like crush velvet the uncle Melvin edition listen
It’s quite different when none of your visions missing this is
Dedicated to my misses my queen in position
The other half of my team she watch from a distance
Im so conditioned In my mission I’m reaching for more
So Ambitious like the seed of Afena Shakur
Head on a swivel mane
I ain’t the first And I won’t be the last I’m somewhere in between like yo middle name
respect the little thangs that’s what got us this far
don’t sell yo soul know the code seems foreign to y’all
It’s like a cycle entitlement and denial sunshine Philadelphia welcomes ya to revival

I’m from the 215 do or die u and I don’t think alike
Prayers for people providing that’s how we move at night
America don’t love us
Survivals of the fittest got me questioning my brothers. They hovering above us
They watching we uncovered plotting we unplugging the drop on the cops bugging got my son ducking
Hands in the air disappear like We David Blane
This position the new edition so can you stand the rain ?
Dispositioned and put in prison can’t understand the pain
This conditions stranger than fiction can’t understand a thang
hood staples like it’s candy mane candy man ... can’t hang if you can’t got ya stripes candy cane
Couple writtens will have em forgetting where u come from
Either that or dribble into a couple of lump sums
Dreams never died opportunities just fell off
In this rat race see my competitive drive sped off
You a lap late, this is gods timing get ya facts straight
Feens for the cream watch em lactate
The running to the same exact space at a fast pace
The key to life is knowing when to backspace you got the mad face cuz you mad late
21 pound hold me down or hold me back
Make em do 180s like they approaching the cul de sac
Make em do 180s like Coda’s coming and Charlie’s back
80s babies lyrics crazy we done came from all of that

The God Hour at 7pm
02:53
|

Now it’s a cold world cold world
gotta keep yo balance like a pole girl flow theral soul glow wit no curls Globe traveling my spirit treks across the atlas,
never manufactured spread our voices to the masses
me and my team Iike the last ones classic but reimagined
all these rappers is actors just fractions of re-enactments
they was looking for Muhammad this time I promised them Cassius
They sleeping on me , it’s time to flip the mattress
I know thangs change maintain all my homies gang gang family the same thang I ride wit god for life
Meditated on my last raps elevated past that took a little while but I got everything in sight
Everyday I’m gettin comfortable getting out my feelings getting closer to a Huxtable tryin to get to hillman
Just a middle class kid wit first class dreams
Stayed in my pocket way too long till it burst at the seams the god hour
The last dragon minus Disney plus I’m sho nuff
bruce leeroy no decoys These bars is grownup
flowing off the top we dropping everything that holds up
gravity been mad at me we floating till the tours up
above the clouds in my aura, hugging my son embracing my daughter that’s what important, so my steps in order
its sort of the final quarter must be something in water These melodies and tones got me jonesin like Nora (huh)
My closest homie told me stick to what ya know yo
And redefine ya hustle, the struggle is where you grow so I’m a take all that I used be merge it a new purpose my old self out on truancy they won’t ever get used to me.
Things moving beautifully so what ya life like, mines is Christ like, the flows is mike tys ready for fight night
souls on the market, they bargain for the right price
The church has left the building light up the dark we the night lights , the god hour
