22 Years

Twenty-Two Years
Grateful for every new year
Being stuck at the bottom that's what every yute fears
I'm just one of a kind ain't that many too rare
When I never had a penny who cared
Sippin' henny who dares
I was broke couldn't get me new gear
They obsessed with the clout they'll take any route there
Other than God there ain't any to fear
Lookin' in the mirror deeply this the very truth here
Ima be it
But I gotta keep my guard close
Feel it
But you couldn't heal my scars though
Secrets
All the things that we hide Jah knows
We ride hard yo, East side Scarborough
Birds chirpin' I ain't sleepin' they was fiendin' for the most
And I always move in silence I be creepin' on my toes
Other than the man above I'm the realest that I know
I could feel it as I grow
Swear I've seen this life before
They don't live it but imitate it
That pressure hit em then they switchin' fakin' and givin' statements
I've been creative painting all the pictures I'm illustrating
I've gotta get it no more sittin' waiting
This kid will make it
I've been this patient - but the wait has been long
Some doubted
Can't wait to see their face when they wrong
It's real pain in my songs
But every way I be strong
Remain real 'til the day that I'm gone
It's I-Z
