Savoir Faire
Cheeno Ghee Lyrics

How it's looking I'm on track to be the illest out
My progress is indicating that I will become the best in the game

What it took for you to win I did this shit without
I achieved success without relying on the same tactics as others

Don't get it twisted I been lifted too
I have also indulged in substances

But if we being frank I'm blinding with these writtens shit I'm gifted too
My writing skills are exceptional and exceed those of others

Don't get me twisted I been pimping too
I have also been in the business of making money off others

Actually winning in my future
I am certain that my future holds success

I been Scottie with my pimping too
I have been successful in my efforts to make money off others, like Scottie Pippen on the basketball court

Yo bout a block away I'm skipping through
I am happily making my way to my destination a block away

To scoop her out and rock about another block to dinner
I am going to pick her up and then we will enjoy a nice meal a block away

Who said that they was fucking with me
Which of my peers claimed that they could compete with me?

Oh I thought a nigga hitting me features every month had said something to me
I assumed someone who frequently collaborates with me would have mentioned competing with me

These niggas know that they ain't fucking with me
My peers realize that they cannot compete with me

At first, I was wishing for a new hustle
I initially wanted to find a new way to make money

Then I started wishing I could keep that
Eventually, I began to simply wish to be able to maintain my current level of success

Before I had shit I remember hoping they would say something
When I was unknown, I hoped critics would take notice of me

But now I'm telling women keep they feedback
Now that I am successful, I am telling women to keep their opinions to themselves

They used to think I wouldn't last a day in 'em
People once doubted my ability to succeed in my field

Now they all praying God'll help 'em take the lead back
My success has caused my competitors to hope for divine intervention to help them regain the lead

Know we all seen that
We have all observed this phenomenon

If I'm next not now why the universe aligning with my shit right now
If I am not currently on top, why is everything falling into place for me right now?

Nigga you are better
You have the potential to be better and reach your goals

I hope your mama know she did it big when she gave you to the world
Your mother should be proud of what she has created in you

Cause brother listen you are
Listen to me, you have what it takes

Up against a lot of shit
You are facing many obstacles and challenges

Cops, money, and a system
The obstacles you face include the police, financial struggles, and systematic issues

And some of your brothers, and women
Some of the people who should support you are also obstacles

We all weather
We all face hardships

Storms whether or not the weapon took it its form
Difficulties come in many forms, including both physical and emotional harm

It did take life right in front of you
These difficulties may lead to loss of life or people close to you

And kids kids right, you ain't know what to do
Future generations may also face these challenges and you may feel powerless to help them

That's how we live life, what our color do
These challenges are often exacerbated by societal attitudes towards our race

Be gentile with who we give our muscle to
We should choose who we support and help carefully

Consider who you'd be if all your life was really up to you
If you had complete control over your life and choices, who would you be?

Then move on it
Once you know who you want to be, take action

Break a leg , sprint swift, and find your groove on it
Go full speed ahead and find your rhythm

Multiply that by every time you bet on you first and had to stamp your truth on it
Every time you have trusted in yourself and your abilities and stood up for your truth, it has propelled you forward

Or video'd so then you'd have your proof on it
You may have recorded or documented evidence of your previous successes as proof of what you are capable of

Wish for better outcomes
Hope for the best possible results

The dream Martin had was for there not to be a need for Malcolms
Martin Luther King's dream was for a world where there would be no need for activists like Malcolm X

Well now I see a need for thousands
Despite progress made, there is still a need for many people to stand up and fight for change

King get your spirit up and douse them
King, raise your morale and extinguish those who seek to bring you down

King Keep your spirit in the thousands
King, maintain the same level of determination as the many activists who came before you

Please round your spirit to the thousandth
Reach for perfection in your spirit and keep fighting for change

Cause we are not complete Enough them
We must continue to strive for change and constant improvement

Cause we not
We will not rest until change is made

Well well well
Well, let's get to work then

I said nigga you are better
I repeat, you have what it takes to succeed
