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

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 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

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)

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

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
