lyrics

Verse 1 (Intellect):
See, I ain't worried that was yesterday
Im just trying to make ends just to live through the day
I got a different flight plan for my life span
I rather spread my seed with the truth on my right hand

From the noon down, I used to roll the dice
mufuckas' slang grams earnin' half the price
All the hate had me shootin' like the top gun
Life is somethin' short but im focused in the long run

Fists pop through the roof as we set progress
It don't take that long to make change it's a process
But all that shit in the past, all non-sense
It's been a year now I changed my mental conscience

When cloudy skies replaced the city's sunshine
I took a moment to reflect and write one rhyme
One bar, one rhyme, and more lines
My city's breathin' in sleep, my hustles due time

Hook (Intellect):
Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn't take it
They said I couldn't make it
But I'm feelin' all good, I got nothin' to prove
Just know I made it through
The hood got me jaded, I know that I paid it
But still I made change
And I'm feelin' all good, I got nothin' to prove
Just know I made it through

Verse 2 (Intellect):
But this is for the block dedicated to goodness
Replicate what I dedicate to those that never made it
The homies sho' do know that I press facts
Every word is truth, never written on contracts

Yesterday I thought I walked with a limp
But today I know never emptied a clip
Maniacs with bats and bombs calm reactin'
The streets got dudes goin' insane for action

I was stuck on gettin' measurin' right
While my doggs hella looked to the metal for might
But man murder rates high in the city of crime
I can't stop time, I gotta let my mind unwind

Life's a trip so I walk by the miles
I keep peace for my people, never act like they wild
But then again, Im just an average joe
Just like your mans around the corner just like he was brought up sing along

Hook (Intellect):
Felt the most hated, I thought I couldn't take it
They said I couldn't make it
But I'm feelin' all good, I got nothin' to prove
Just know I made it through
The hood got me jaded, I know that I paid it
But still I made change
And I'm feelin' all good, I got nothin' to prove
Just know I made it through
