38th & Lesley

Wasn't what I was expecting
But it's better than nothin'
And now I'm rappin' on this beat
You niggas thought I was frontin'
I'm just doin' me nigga, I ain't worried bout nothin'
'Cause in my purpose and my power
I ain't worried 'bout strugglin'
When I was 12 years old my grandma told me I'm the chosen one
Didn't know what she meant
I was just rhyming for fun
Taking lesson after lesson til I thought I was done
Then she passed in '16 and passed me the baton
I was forced to find my power and demand that shit back
Breaking curse after curse
Threw myself on this track
To prove to myself the depth and the wealth
That runs through my veins can't sit on a shelf
It's the room, it's the view
The sadness inspires you
To shift your reality, ain't perfect but I'm proud of me
The gifts I was given, I made a monopoly
Know you tired of bein' strong
But you gotta be
I know it's confusin'
Take it day by day
His grace, His blessings
Will help you find your way
Didn't know where I was goin'
But I'm happy I went
'Cause the way my life's unfoldin', I'm 100%
Confident
In what I'm doin',
Carefree and bein' me is the life that I'm pursuin'
Gotta learn and pave the way for this family of mine
Do my best to get it right and leave the rest to the divine
The abundant life is comin'
You just gotta give it time
Till then, I got a pen, I got a dollar & a rhyme
And I ain't sayin' that it don't get hard, cause it do
You just gotta stay true
To that light inside of you
And know that everything that happens only happens for a reason
The pain you feel inside'll last for a season
Baby girl, baby boy, live ya life and don't stress
When the hard times come, put ya skills to the test
To overcome each mountain, trial & tribulation
Do everything with love and you'll touch the whole nation
I know it's confusin'
Take it day by day
His grace, His blessings
Will help you find your way
I know it's confusin'
Take it day by day
His grace, His blessings
Will help you find your way
