They tried to tell us that we can't adjust
Everybody's talkin' culture, but it starts with us
And to be fair, I could've parked the bus
Niggas tearin' down my winds, like it ain't hard enough
Was it beginners luck or was it blood of Christ?
They said that it's a fluke, so then, I done it twice
Me and Toby due to up the price
Thank God we never listened to your dumb advice
I gotta listen when my shepherd speaks
Bible studies at the crib, oh, they gon' let me preach
Tighter than the stitchin' on my leather seats
Heavy is the head, I haven't slept for weeks
I check the time on my Patek Fillipe
There's no time to kill, they wanna see me rest in peace
Couple man are cool, but the rest are neeks
We paid you niggas homage and we kept receipts
Niggas walked through the door and didn't leave the key
I treat Dave the way these niggas should've treated me
Every handle needs a Stevie G
I done it back-to-back to back, I'm on my DBE
I put my phone on DND, super necessary, niggas never keep it brief
Generation, all they do is pree and tweet
Reparations, we gon' feed the streets
I still believe Jehovah's gonna free me from the shackles of my troubled past
And way before I juggled bars, a nigga had to hustle hard
All I ever wanted was some kettles and a couple cars
I was at my lowest when I bought myself the double-R
The things we do to cover scars, thirties comin', but we young at heart
Tell the EDL we didn't come to march, the documentary's gotta come in parts, yeah
Finally, my eyes can see
The sun behind my rain, the color in my pain
I may fall down, feet don't fail me now
'Cause through the storm, I found my smile
Yo
I think I got my smile back
The last time I linked depression was a while back
Me and loneliness kick it from time to time
She knows the deal, that I ain't hers and she ain't mine
Me and Joy got tighter, that was overdue
Paranoia doesn't shout me, but I know the truth
That nigga doesn't feel me since I quit the weed
I shout my nigga Purpose, that's my realest G
I told Love we should build a home
I told Self-Doubt, you better watch your tone
Stop shoutin' down my line, like you gon' do shit
You was my old friend, but now we on some new shit
Me and suicidal thoughts, we haven't spoke for years
You know all my deepest secrets, you know all my fears
I pray that I don't ever see your face again
Now me and peace of mind became the best of friends
Finally (my nigga, ha)
My eyes can see
The sun behind my rain, the color in my pain
I may fall down, feet don't fail me now
'Cause through the storm, I found my smile
Finally, my eyes can see
The sun behind my rain, the color in my pain
I may fall down, but feet don't fail me now
'Cause through the storm, I found my smile
