Haha
When you in your current position
But you can see where you goin at the same time
But it feels so real So beautiful so elegant
Listen
The moves are made across the board we playin chess
That mind state so poisonous keep way from us
From ignorance to consciousness this my exodus
The moves are made across the board we playin chess
You lack the faith go find a way with your petulance
That mind state so poisonous keep way from us
From ignorance to consciousness this my exodus
Always felt like I was cut from a different cloth
Never meant to be a worker I had to be in charge
Never paid for loyalty my whole team is on
I told them bout the vision and now my dream is ours
I spit the sweetest bars in hopes we driving Swedish cars
This the music you make when you know it's yours
That linoleum was peeling I saw marble floors
Holes in the wall but that's where the fish is going
Kept it solid and never fold let peace prevail
Them times a test use em wise you'll make it out
My vision so clear If needed I could dream in brail
Haters go to hell we knew I could take it here
Emulate exuberance it's really him
He who states the future loud can speak it in
That's the secret of gods among us mortal men
Once you learn that the earth sing you the sweetest hymns
The moves are made across the board we playin chess
You lack the faith go find a way with your petulance
That mind state so poisonous keep way from us
From ignorance to consciousness this my exodus
The moves are made across the board we playin chess
You lack the faith go find a way with your petulance
That mind state so poisonous keep way from us
From ignorance to consciousness this my exodus
Penin all my sentiments of adversity
Him accept a normal life the absurdity
It was certainly written saw it all in the cards
Madame zeroni for the days you had them zeros dawg
I can preach preach a sermon about them hard times
Creflo dollar when it comes to talking hard life
I swear Unwavering Persistence is a hell of a thing
When you meant for more you don't mind a lil pain
Overcrowded exits of similarity
Lyricism in this day is such a rarity
Bunch of weird al's all they write is parodies
Shout out to my brother had to turn the pain to melodies
This is Biggie when he wrote on that juicy beat
This is the Pac when he told y'all go an picture me
The same feeling Nip gave you back on Crenshaw
Or Hov when he asked if you want that encore
The moves are made across the board we playin chess
You lack the faith go find a way with your petulance
That mind state so poisonous keep way from us
From ignorance to consciousness this my exodus
The moves are made across the board we playin chess
You lack the faith go find a way with your petulance
That mind state so poisonous keep way from us
From ignorance to consciousness this my exodus
Haha
