Shaolins Prince kinda feeling like I’m Royalty Only thing that's better than that sh** to me is loyalty When I get the chance I always plan to give you all of me God willing all my steps commencing forward orderly This is more poetry This is more than music This communication to the highest spirit That has callin’ me Wasn’t ever easy but I had to push it forward When you dealing with these courts sending letters out to Albany Woah Look who you handed the Mic too Walked in a stranger And left as my dude Torching it in Just about everything I do While I’m walking in the Lord And he ain’t some white dude You won’t see me tripping on them broads Who pu*** poppin’ cause she getting her attention When the whole rooms watching You won’t see me tripping on them haters Who be knockin’ smell a beta simple minded mother c**k-blocking I’m really here to dominate So how about you leave your envy at the door Dispensing of any kinda hate Yeah I like to conversate especially when its an opportunity to plant seeds While she ovulates Clap for all creators cause we never been bitter Harboring your hatred cause you ain’t real winner, I deserve a plate that has a real big dinner I been working on the keys to the Beamer sim simma Go getter new level Lotta bass no treble Ima chase gold medals I don’t deal with no devils When you search don’t settle For the worst don’t meddle In the dirt I’m better Floor the whole gas pedal Aye Smoking the baseline I knew if I wanted it that it would take time So I do not waist mine rather harvest, Invest into life that’ll make dimes Collecting the change I’m On the way to the glory so get out the way slime Got fruit like the grapevine To the right then a left my life ain’t been a straight line Nah Some come and work with a professional Auditing these commas All the way down to the decimals Know you might be skeptical But tell me where’s ya faith at I put mine in God And I’m never gonna trade that Money a facade That’ll never let me lay back Chasing it forever ever ever Never paid back Angels on my side my ancestors been alive Helped to square up with the demons Eventually had to face that Rather do it then talk about it While I draw the chalk around it Aware of all my surroundings I’m looking down from the mountain Invested in what’s compounding 100 percent I’m wit it Let’s push it up to a thousand Woo

(No Bueno) All I need is just a chance To put the work in I ain’t ever take an L And miss out what I was learning Can’t expect to find yourself If you willing to go searching Never had the upper hand but Now I feel the tables turning Aye aye So gimme a chance Cause I got a plan Im making a stand Im taking a benjamin Wanna-make it to grand I’m tryna expand I’m not like the others Who willing to start something But they’ll never make it to the end So gimme a chance Just gimme a chance To prove that I can Ima just stick the data We know the numbers won’t lie Even tho it’s tough I’ve had to take losses I could never be reluctant to try I wanna keep us together through every endeavor Just so I know we can survive We here and we next it’s bout time the we flex They can only defeat us if we at divide With a little chance Made big plans Lost some friends And I made my ends Had to pay my dues (Ok) Down this path it’s a lonely road I don’t think you niggas really wanna wear my shoes You could just learn from my mistakes And I learn from yours then share our views With just one chance Imma prove I can Cause this young man ain’t come here to lose I don’t need no one around That isn’t focused on this unity If you give me a chance then I’m gone take the opportunity Must shine under pressure I should change my name to jewelry Grinding for my myself my fam and then for my community All I need is just a chance To put that work in I ain’t ever take an L and miss out what I was learning Can’t expect to find yourself if you willing to go searching Never had the upper hand but Now I feel the tables turning Aye Aye So gimme a chance Cause I got a plan Im making a stand Im taking a benjamin Wanna-make it to grand I’m tryna expand I’m not like the others who willing to start something But they’ll never make it to the end So gimme a chance Just gimme a chance To prove that I can Take my calculated risk I ain’t here to play no tricks I want the top of every list Keep it straight without twist Shitting on em So they pissed No matter what I will persist Everytime you hold us down Expect to see us raise a fist Don’t get mad I just do better At red lights Imma green go getter Never had it easy but I did my work And don’t get tight when you see them perks Ima stand up to all yall jerks Keep it unbiased The Young Turks This what it look like When you come from the dirt Then they wanna be hurt when you bend that earth Everybody struggles That’s the price we’ve gotta pay And every dog gone have his day Just pray they open heavens gate It’s been tragic but it’s getting better I’ve just gotta say Because the God In me is leading Every path I’m gonna take Gimme a chance Cause I got a plan Im making a stand Im taking a benjamin Wanna make it to grand I’m tryna expand I’m not like the others Who willing to start something But they’ll never make it to the end So gimme a chance Just gimme a chance To prove that I can So gimme a chance Cause I gotta plan I’m making a stand I’m taking a Benjamin Wanna make it to a grand I’m tryna expand I’m not like the others Who willing to start something But they’ll never make it to the end So gimme a chance Just gimme a chance To prove that I can (one chance)

I sit back with this pack I just copped to relax I roll up I light up Throw the stems in the trash I don’t act don’t pretend I don’t want to be friends Cause you can’t do for me What I need in the end Here's the truth it might hurt When you don’t know your worth If you know are you sure Hope the intent is pure Promise you will be heard So you must keep your word See the mind is curse Got the fire let it burn Let it burn let it fry Throw your worries to the sky Cause when you live on the edge Then you feeling more alive Watch us perfectly align Wipe the crust out your eyes No more walk-in out blind Cause you’ll get left behind Sometimes I'm really sick of it But then I see the bigger pic See They just wanna view But they don’t like it not a little bit This instrumental simmering The discipline is militant You’ll take it how I’m giving it You got the beans I’m spilling it Lemme ask is you feelin’ this You would if you was listening See I don’t think the hearin’ it Maybe it’s too intricate Maybe it’s too complicated Guess they underestimated Me and your intelligence But this is how we operating Stop debating who’s the greatest Watch us when we demonstrating Bi*** it’s Liam Neeson I’ll find an kill you don’t be mistaken This a meal to us We hungry and getting tired of waiting Welcome to the bakery Collecting dough is how we caking Batter beats into butter And serve it when it’s finish baking Attracting every desire we never had to chase it So many obstacles I wondered would we ever make it No point in crying bout chances We never manage taking Don’t have the answers for every possible situation Seize the moment reap and sew it That’s a blanket statement Uncover the truth so we ain’t lying in the bed we lay in Hibernating It’s been overdue for the twins to awaken My soul telling me You ain’t dreaming big enough You don’t give it everything Might as well just give it up What ya waiting for It's the season to pour into your cup Go til its overflowing Overpouring With the love I just know it’s enough regardless if you trust We got it out the dirt and out the mud A miracle we made it the hood that we were from We had to make opportunities even if there were none (Said) Treasure in the next life’s why I’ve gotta shed light Path goin left right live but I’m dead tight Live how the pen write brighter than egg white Searching for Heavens like a stag in the headlights It’s time to take the leap of faith Your life is collateral for all the time you waste Living through the parables of trial unwise mistakes Insane Keep repeating patterns expecting to change We can’t be living the same Expect each other to grow Seed coming up from the grain From all of the years of the sew Somebody’s praying I would slow up While I’m on the go Ain’t a lot that really hold me down But I got a few (Uh) Try God don’t try us Care less if you don’t like us Cause we hyped up Two titans Like twin towers our lights up If you fight him then you fight us You better off with Mike Tyson Snotty nose get wiped up Mad lyrics get typed up Found myself getting lost In them booths where that mic was Like mike But like Us Bar service like nightclubs Lightning never strikes twice In the same place But it still strikes us Super Smash Them brothers Like them plumbers We been piped up It’s my civic duty to introduce me I go by OD once you get a taste Than it’s hard to lose me But listen closely You don’t know my twin than you never knew me So don’t approach me Acting like we roomies you ain’t friend And you ain't my homie

I’m gonna give it all knocking down the biggest walls flying through the biggest falls before I ran I Had to crawl Got to roll With all my Flaws Been doing this Before applause On dry lands I walk across How could I find myself til I got lost, Every single day just doin what I can 101 mistakes On the road to be the man The peak of the mountain Is where Im hopin’ to stand While I travel through the valleys With the rod in my hand Holdin’ to my stance And following Gods plans Not trying to make Jams He flyin to Space Jam Been a stand up guy while I’m sitting in the chair Not complaining but I’ve noticed life don’t ever come fair Seems the Devil is the only one who ever wanna Dance And show a littler romance Non perishable Spirit can’t put it in a can one shot one mic only needed one chance and I’m gonna give it all knocking down the biggest walls flying through the biggest falls before I ran I Had to crawl If you living with ya handout close ya damn mouth You a turd on propellers You been getting fanned out damn bro How you fitting in but seem to stand out I don’t know All I know Is don’t need the damn clout No sir I keep my word impeccable I might not be married but me and Jesus inseparable Here to live me a life That I’m sure is gonna be memorable Pull up on the scene We finna make it a spectacle Put it in perspective cause that’s I what I find preferable They moving horizontal The Fathers taking me vertical Only working with artist Who’s always taken personal Living by this faith Cause the dream was never observable The terminal Was cultivating patience working through the days shifts Had them overnights Before I got to the station Yes I am a sinner I’ve fallen to temptations Speaking from experience when I preach to the patrons The smell of victory Is the loveliest fragrance Listen to the lyrics while you vibin to the cadence Staring out the windows turned to glaring at the floors When I looked to the horizon Is when I heard me a call sayin I’m gonna give it all knocking down the biggest walls flying through the biggest falls before I ran I Had to crawl Got to roll With all my Flaws Been doing this Before applause On dry lands I walk across How could I find myself til I got lost

Yeah Yeah Hey My trials and tribulations Have given me nothing but patience (And it pays) I’m going through these days Like they never even mattered I see how times are different But I can’t ignore the pattern Kinda need you close To keep me warmer then a cavern I don’t really like the gossip But they love to chitter chatter Can we appreciate just what we have If I choose to speak my mind Would it make you mad We all tend to complain When it ain’t that bad Then life hits Then you see you must create yo path I’m living for this feeling That a bottles never given Every gain I made Is for the fam and that’s a given Focused on my goals Don’t really care bout they living Now I’m at a quarter life, And it's only the beginning I would kinda to explore all the places Never been before, Really like to see the world And share this music on a tour , Tune into the energy I promise you that it’s the cure Tune into abundance And you never really wanting more Sometimes I wonder how it all gets done Working so damn much Forgot have some fun Now I’m playing every game Like I’ve already won I’m feeling like a young God I ain’t nobody’s son I had to come do it nice I barely even want the vice I just want a better life Free of doubt And free of strife So I’m sticking to the grind And I’m takin every sign Ima need my peace of mind Kinda seeming hard to find Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place When we being kind (Yeah) Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place When we being kind (Hey) Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place When we being kind (Yeah) Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place Come correct when you check into my department You thinking small while my goal is the enlargement Hit it in a Fortnight meet me at the fortress I never made a real gain playin’ moves cautious You super trendy when you on We been off that If I applied a little pressure Then I’m gone snap Because I’m bending every measure Better fallback Slime ass ‘Nickelodeon’ Thinkin’ you ‘All That’ See I’ve been working but it's for myself I couldn’t let go of this music this is for my health But if I’m great enough to kill it then its for my wealth And they’ll be hating when I make it get up off my belt Everything in perfect timing This is purely elevation See I’m holding never folding And I’m never tired of waiting Cause the best reward is payment After practicing the patience And success amongst the doubters This is how you make a statement If you lazy bout’ your growth Then your advice I’m never takin’ I don’t want no interruptions When I’m writing or creatin’ I do not need anybody For fulfillment I’m just saying But I’m giving this to God So I hope you hear me praying Hey Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place When we being kind (Yeah) Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place When we being kind Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place When we being kind (Yeah) Peace of mind Take a piece of mine The world makes a better place
