All Facts

All facts, that's guaranteed when I get in a session Future-minded, but every once in a while I gotta slow it down to re-adjust my lenses and live in the present I'm moving humble, but the flow got a little aggression Still here, pitching freedom to the captives No hypocrisy, man I can only speak on what I practice I'm paying dues, paying attention and paying taxes They try to write me off, on account of my blackness But man it's whatever, let's just see who's laughing last All of that negative energy, I'mma have to pass Funny how we draw different conclusions from half a glass Funny how we draw different conclusions with matching facts Truly I was lowdown living, now I know I've been forgiven So I'm throwing up a deuce to my ratchet past Back when all I wanted in the world was a stack of cash Back when all I wanted was a girl with the baddest... huh Just look at the grace of God Rich in abundance, but never something to place aside You know the house will win every time if you play the odds Knowledge is power, without a doubt, there's a great divide Just look at the great divide Time is borrowed, I gotta watch how I'm using my credit But knowing that He paid it all, I'm forever indebted And that ain't really hard to see, at least it isn't hard for me And I ain't where I wanna be, but I know where I'm headed, check the mileage Yeah I don came a long way from performing covers at talent shows Now I'm just cracking codes Flipping the script like I'm trying out for some acting roles Honest to God, I'm taking it deeper than baritone We live in a broken world I know some brothers that's chasing women But they never stick around, too afraid of commitment And I know women who know better but lower they standards I'm wondering who's more to blame for these destructive patterns, yeah But that's another conversation we can table I don't ever really stress over boxes or labels Call me whatever you want, just don't call me for favours I gotta know the residents in my quarters are stable, yeah That's just the way that it's gotta be for a while 'Cause you give someone a inch, they prolly take it a mile I got my shawty some nails, and then I got her some heels And now she looking at extensions like she naming a file, I swear I'm introverted at heart, without a question And often I'd rather just stay at home But I step out and mingle just so that people don't get the wrong impression Does small talk even really turn into strong connections? Hardly ever, I'm only thinking aloud I'm perfectly content with not fitting in with the crowd I'm perfectly content with my current rate of progression Staying true to my convictions and making my momma proud, and it's real I lift my eyes to the hills, my help is certain Through the highs and lows, I know that my Father is steady working And lately I've been praying for wisdom and more discernment They say you learn a lot if you listen, man I've been learning A higher purpose, that's what I'm living for nowadays Feel like I've been taking less, and just giving more nowadays Nobody let me into the building when I was knocking But look at me now, I'm using a different door nowadays I ain't cocky, I'm just confident, knowing He got me And if He got me, then I'm positive, no one can stop me And people try to ride the wave but the waters are choppy I seen a lot of brothers skate like we was playing hockey All facts, whether it's on or it's off the record A lot of craziness around but I'm calm and collected And I've been moving on the low, so they don't always see my actions But it's really all a journey, stay with me and see what happens I'm gone
