[00:18.812]Yeah, yeah
[00:21.141]Yeah, uh
[00:23.237]Yeah, yeah
[00:24.538]This small circle ain't for shits and giggles, it’s protection
[00:27.427]My energy, my biggest weapon
[00:29.265]A sentiment I understood when I was less irreverent
[00:32.139]Battles fought with one sword, I knew to never chase the pendant
[00:35.272]Mind and body, one accord
[00:36.825]Open the door, but keep the screen locked
[00:39.409]The awards come when I'm not tryn' seek a reward
[00:41.958]Release resentment of the soul I was before
[00:44.508]'Cause growth ain't one direction it’s a tour
[00:47.103]Old enough to know I need affection, that's for sure
[00:50.524]That's for sure

[01:01.740]Keeping the stainless by the window
[01:03.581]Loyalty to my kinfolk
[01:05.155]Mama ingrained everything I thought was new info
[01:07.786]Forced to live in this skin cloak
[01:09.887]Forced to live in this state stepping in and out of this limbo
[01:12.481]Forcing myself to exit my comfort zone
[01:15.117]All that's been going on when it comes to big growth
[01:17.474]And recognizing the absence of keys
[01:19.559]People that never knew me asking what happened to me
[01:22.442]I was gon' get thrown if I ain't fasten the seat
[01:24.806]And patience and compassion gon' keep me in the lead
[01:27.975]But I mean spiritually
[01:29.564]'Cause all this capital is fake, they tryn' distract us with greed
[01:32.694]My niggas hungry due to this classic but fascist regime
[01:35.824]And I'm chasing ashes if exhaustion the dream
[01:38.458]And I'm exhausting the seams
[01:40.030]From running, running from these ****ing police
[01:41.870]They tryn' dead me 'cause I’m black with a gleam
[01:44.485]Can't nothing cease a nigga back on the scene
[01:46.844]Who want the action got the lights and the team
[01:49.189]Who want the action got the lights and the team, uh
