OK, 7, 7, 7, 7, ladies and gentlemen, 7. OK, so, this next brother we're going to bring up to the stage usually does not come in on Monday nights. You're in for a real treat, ladies and gentlemen. Give it to Mr. Hall. Rip out my soul from the depths of my flesh Flesh of my blood I caress, write on a page so it's fresh I take my time and express, light on my mind but I guess It's just in my genes like a Glock 17, like a genetic scene Kick in the door, we blow it off the hinge Music my drug, tie it off, then inject a syringe It's in my blood, ain't no need to pretend Theory tell me I don't need to defend Theory tell me I don't need to explain Just drop the record on the needle and express my pain Can't wait until my son shine and together we reign My queen's by my side like Manhattan rapping This is poetic conviction, my rendition is not meant for your diction Battle addiction in a womb, a crack baby by definition Key to addition with no permission That mean that I'm driven alive Cause I'm living, working with what you've been given I knew I always wanted more like the roots of 9-5 And I'll be sure to do more for my family than mine did Cause hip-hop rhymes taught me more than my moms did Didn't drink till I was 25 cause I'm my mom's kid All I knew was alcoholism in prison Only saw domestic violence and racial division Social worker trying to take me away But I know that group home probably worse, nah, no way At least I know my eyes here, I'ma be okay Adapted to the lifestyle so I'ma be okay I'm just an entity, my DNA not my identity Finding serenity, become a better man I better be For the child and my baby mama's tummy, never cry me We get big bread, trying to be the greatest that's been dead I'm trying to be the happiest that I can be instead I'm trying to get ahead like a fetus Money don't complete us but it feed us, it can lead us to depression Being rich is not a blessing, fame is not a blessing Wasn't till I was rich and famous I learned that lesson What's the meaning of life? To live it what I'm guessing Living, living Living life like this is so crazy, hip-hop is amazing One day you're on top of the nest, they wanna erase them, go What I'm facing every day, a new frustration People thinking I'm complacent, people thinking that I changed like a cashier But I can't let that register, get the f*** one out of here Buy a brick and roll it lighter, get high as the stratosphere I can hear the voices in my mind when I rhyme Give it up, you're out of time, never even had a prime Like a primo, never linked up with 5'9 I'm back like the muscles surrounding my vertebrae Okay, for what you gotta say, I keep it going already Knowing I'm flowing for the listener Yeah, kinda like a therapist, I'm rather cold in 2005 Flowing like cannabis, that throwback s*** Yeah, that throwback s*** But you heard my catalog, it ain't got no action Cause I'm a gladiator in a coliseum Everybody wanna be him till they feel like they can't be him Then they wanna see him lose Wrote this poem in Navy, that's what I call singing the blues Word to daddy, my family got me, no carbon copy Life can hit you harder than Drago But if I roll with the punches when it's rocky Don't ever stop me, never top me Never cocky, I'm never cocky Okay, well maybe sometimes Occasionally in some rhymes, but it's fine In due time, I'm the illest to ever do it Come now, Barbie boy, call it an indigenous era Of an indigenous MC Riding this m**** to the tank on E, what's up? You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you F*** all the bulls, dig from deep down inside I wrote this sitting shotgun in my favorite ride Reflecting on memories from my childhood Bringing a baby in this world, I hope my child good All I ever gave a f*** about was my career But all that s*** out the window now that my son is here F*** sales and streams, none of that s*** entails dreams Rap, press, feeling like I'm less If it ain't about my happiness, then I can't give a f*** less I remember window shopping Now I'm shopping for windows for my baby new room Barbie coming soon And that's the type of line I would've second-guessed Putting on my s*** before Out of fear that they would hate Cause they couldn't relate Cause it wasn't relevant Give a f*** if it's evident This right here is the evidence I'm like Leo and Revenant Bear with me, you could tear me apart But I won't take away the fact I wrote this s*** from the heart Where it's been from the start Where it's finna stay I've learned every day's a good day Surrounded by people that love me Don't want nothing from me but my happiness Off the internet, that's when I'm at my happiest Scrolling so much, my thumb f***ed up We call that carpal tunnel vision Follow me like religion On this course of collision Feeling in prison And this is my freedom Through these lyrics as I repeat them And beat them into my conscious like a dinosaur This lyricism straight to the dome Like a w***e through the sinus I think I finally found my paradise This word to Thomas
