The Root
ct times I feel it's all dark, victories is hard fought
Even if it's small ones for start, things fall apart
Waiting for the stars and the planets to align
For my life on earth to finally confirm what I knew inside
I raised the stake and I made many mistakes
cnd missteps still thankful people stole my mixtapes
Took a breath ... cnd braced myself for the leap of faith
Time's precious everyday, I don't believe in waste
Friendships that caused pain within the large maze
I just praised god's name and
Trained like Bernard King
Sudden loss of life can make ya heart sink
Sharp pain ball and chain on ya ankles it's hard to break
Cycles happen we go thru phases like Michael Jackson
Things can change faster than you might imagine
Happiness is not a tied to a result
Glad I finally found a calling for myself before the final call
Lorsque la nuit a déployé son voile
De quoi puis-je avoir envie
Si je tremble d'effroi ?
Je marcherais
Hiver comme été
Même le dos courbé
J'irais chercher ce trésor caché
I used to hate it when they doubted made me push harder
My short term was looking bleak I had to look farther
When u mix street and book smart you get em shook god
Temple of doom I reached in my chest it took heart
Had to quit the dead-end job, my friend discouraged me
Cause out here security synonymous to currency
Mental endurance, rejection was a courage pill
I swallow bunch of those... cnd pushed with a determined will
Burned both ends of the candle under the star spangled
Going against the odds until the day the odds thank you
No one believes until you start to achieve
When u realize it's not about you, you start receive
I move with godspeed thru the gauntlet the beef and conflict
The consequence on being in the light tension is constant
cnd it's a scene full of zombies in this Ponzi scheme
Calmly dream keep my laundry clean
cnd keep pushing
Lorsque la nuit a déployé son voile
De quoi puis-je avoir envie
Si je tremble d'effroi ?
Je marcherais
Hiver comme été
Même le dos courbé
J'irais chercher ce trésor caché
Skip the basic they said I would be ill-fated
Never had a record deal still feeling real major
Build like the masons from Flatlands to Mill Basin
Had the IcM killer tape "Concept" with ill cadence
Like Percy To Kane, Tragedy to Fame
Next level next devil still had to beat the game
Lost friends along the way and gained more
Put pressure on myself, what you think I kept the name for?
They told me keep the faith I rather spread it
cnd when it's on rush the scene like paramedics
Build friendship I would've thought was unexpected
Build bonds with the word and that's no pun intended
Soon as the plane hit the tarmac
I put the bar back where it should have been and that's a god fact
In the city where they carjack
Me and my homies used to dream about being mega stars in rap
Looking at the star wishing it's a hard mission
Reality'll leave a scar that's a non-fiction
I learned to travel light enjoy the journey more
So many cop nice things to hide a dirty core
Sold em my art where I showed my heart
Exposed it all to y'all when I lowered my guard
That's when the wounds start to heal, it's not a drill
T La Rock said "its yours" man it's ours for real
Nos voix se croisent sur baffles et tout craque
Nos basses de fou crachent en live et tout crame
From boom boxes to rocking tube socks
clways fresh can hear us coming from 2 blocks
Je fais de la musique, je mets tout en vers
Même la merde que je dis en prose, j'en fais un caillou taillé d'anvers
De la trempe de ces gens qui vivent les choses
Qui ne la font pas à l'envers misent pas sur la pose
Notre futur c'est le feu de l'enfer, La flamme de la rose
Faux rebelle vs rebelle sans cause
Relax, merde, Tiens une taf de vert,
Gars, ta drogue dure Regarde, elle est dans ton verre
Mon rap est « Météqué », Mat, d'un trait
Casse la cravache usée des becquets
Laisse les génies de 2020 hébétés
Se débrouiller face à la méga-chiée de Zé Pékés
On chérit nos racines
L'État lui devient premier pourvoyeur de l'asile
On regarde l'csie : on est dans la charrette
On remplit le baril, On fait dans la barrette
On quadrille la ville, On en fait le Far West
Cache aux concurrents le plug qu'on a à Chaouen
clors ? Le résumé vous plaît comme ça ?
Y a plus qu'à scanner et envoyer aux médias
On remue le merdier, Peur de l'immédiat
Les perroquets crient perchés sur la bite à Servier
Société en panne sur une aire de service
Nos leaders chantent sur un air de sévices
From boom boxes to rocking tube socks
clways fresh can hear us coming from 2 blocks
Nos voix se croisent on passe et tout craque
Nos basses de fou crachent en live et tout crame
