Never turn my back on my birthplace

Leave it to my city makin'

Sure that the dirt's straight

Leave my kids just enough

'Cause I'll fail them the worst way

If I raised some rich spoiled

White girls in the first place yeah

Leave a legacy one worth rememberin'

In my robe lookin' out on Rome on the Mezzanine like

Why creators are the last ones with some equity

Put myself in a position to pass it to my people

And that's why I'm never settlin'

More capital than Beverly

Before my grandma died she saw me on Jeopardy

Still think PJs are too expensive

Still don't make music with people I ain't friends with

Still **** the industry and no

I don't mess with

People that my mama wouldn't want

To have for breakfast

That's right the suits the streams

The snakes the schemes the steady

Pursuit of paper over truth and dreams

Loyal to my soil never change the oil

Kept the motor runnin' kept my foot up on the gas

And push to start the button

Everything I thought I always wanted everything it wasn't

Never know that God is everything

Until you lose sight of him yeah

Never know that God is everything until you lose sight of him

Lose sight of him

Lose sight of him

Lose sight of him

Lose sight of him

Lose sight of him

Said it's written on my face I can't play it off

I got so much on my plate I can't shake it off

But I'm built for this I'm built for this

I been stayin' in my lane keep my head down

I was losin' my faith but I'm blessed now

God told me you built for this

I know I'm built for this

You weren't supposed to die here

You were supposed to fly here

Look what you built off your imagination

Could've never imagined the places you

Would've been taken because your ideas

This is in your veins like where the IV is

My mama's Dodge minivan became my own at sixteen

Before sixteen ever got you a phone

Maybe when I was thirteen twelve eleven who knows

But I was in the back of that ************* writin' my poems

On shrooms with the busted boombox

Thinkin' that this special brew and beater I was Tupac nah

If I could go back and give that ************* advice

I'd say it was already written boy keep livin' your life

Put everything you got into your truth

That instrument you carry around that is a tool

The most precious one you'll ever have

There's no shortcuts in the craft

Because the craft is actually just a path to discover you

It can get you p***y respect money fame

And they love to call it the game

But please do not get it confused

'Cause that's just the temptation that God is going

To put in front of your face

To see how bad you really want the jewel

And you don't run this **** these are God's words

And when you catch the Holy Spirit thank God first

Kill the ego kill the need to keep on pleasin' people

Self-centeredness and self-will isn't how God works

We only here for a blink and it's gone

So what you gonna do with the ink

You use in your songs

Regardless of your deal or the label that you're on

When you die the Universe already owns them all

That's God's will

It's all God's will
