Yeah

So basically
Huh
It won't tear me down
I wear the crown
They see me now
Let's go uh
Can’t be stressing boy I’m flexing
Have love for yourself, I’m just venting
People won’t truly love you till your gone
For now on you can just call me the black James Bond
Can’t be stressing boy I’m flexing
Have love for yourself, I’m just venting
People won’t truly love you till your gone
For now on you can just call me the black James Bond
Had to go through the struggle man just to get out of the basement
Traveling the world and changing people around just like a replacement
Out of the basement, now I’m living life now
Manifesting things I never even thought now
Never even thought now, I be glowing
Light energy & sungazing is the motion
Used to be a nobody, now I’m making hits now
Back to back I was working on myself now
Upping my vibration people change quick
Guess that’s why they call it a click
Connecting with my higher self, yeah that is special
Just like how I write down my dreams with my pencil
I just look into your soul and see your mentality
Knowing who you truly are is my special nationality ooo
Low vibrational people will try to get into your life now
They got me raising my eyebrow like The Rock now huh
I had to go through life like a Rubik’s cube yeah
These people are sleep and are acting like noobs on YouTube och[01:50.031]
My third eye is open
Like it was written in the stars
I be seeing energy, you know who you are let’s go
Boy you can’t get your hair like mines boy stop it mmm

Can’t be stressing boy I’m flexing
Have love for yourself, I’m just venting
People won’t truly love you till your gone
For now on you can just call me the black James Bond
Can’t be stressing boy I’m flexing
Have love for yourself, I’m just venting
People won’t truly love you till your gone
For now on you can just call me the black James Bond

It's time to escape the matrix
And become your greatest version
Not everyone is going to make it in 2020




But your time
