Opening
J.V Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now we worrying about different visas making magic
First generation, parental guidance
Make accomplishments
Gratitude for their sacrifices
Making music with some substance
I don't know, focused on my game, dont play to lose
Speak my truth, through verses, no excuse
Never stay confined in a space
Always come back with a breakthrough
Going hard all summer
Making heat for the winter
For the run, not a visitor
Making the cheddar
Since 03's November
Making Art for my sanity
Enjoying the craft was the key
Enjoying the craft was the key
It's a fair trade, never partially
Praise and hate
Opposition just proliferates
I dont care
Different mindstate
Making fire at the end of the day
Ayyy
Dont worry, amma be here for a while
Its a new chapter, the opening act
Creating a path
A clear conscience
