//Verse 1 (IllWordz)
...I know I shoulda told y'all this before
But be warned: I'm to recover from the pain that I record
Exercise the vocal chords: music and faith will Restore
Then I stiff arm the game in order to Open doors
Its all arranged inside my brain; spittin' 4 x 4's
Ridin' on a beat with speech and as I blink I'm coding Morse
That's a message to y'all in action and in words
I've done this in the future and the past.. So what Happened first?
My bars are flyin'; travelin' like a javelin
I'll never wear a mask again, showin' you I'm passionate
In crunch time I Punch-lines... but never Square like Madison
I hope that even if I'm broke I'll never get mad again
I'm damagin' whenever I'm Frustrated
Gun shaped in many ways my anger is punctuated
So I'm prayin' to God to please understand my motives
I'm unwillin' to be chill and Unfocused; but God knows this...
//Chorus (x2) (Kvvstn)
One Flow, One Goal...Jottin' down my thoughts!
One Hope, One Road...Searchin' never lost!
When the light goes; I might go slow but never stop!
Cuz no matter how down I get, Yo i'll always be on top!
//Verse 2 (IllWordz)
...I know I shoulda told y'all this before
I'm tired of the pride that makes me keep a silly score
My soul has been alive longer than I've been here for
Life ain't got a price so how would I find it In a store?!
How could I think I got it bad when others got it worse?
I've learned my lessons without enterin' a College course
I never took a step back to go forth again
I never thought that I could trade the pain for a pen
Tryin' my best to live great now and in the Afterlife
Providin' what I can through the principle of sacrifice
Visionary.. I've expected to be pushed aside
Its been scary to get used to being scrutinized!
I Shook hands with fear and it ended awkwardly
Obviously I learned; Never bow to mediocrity
Never mind philosophy or a modern day Socrates
All I hope to be is a man without hypocrisy
//Chorus (x2)
One Flow, One Goal...Jottin' down my thoughts!
One Hope, One Road...Searchin' never lost!
When the light goes; I might go slow but never stop!
Cuz no matter how down I get, Yo i'll always be on top!
