But this what I'm made for
Look I don't know whatchu hating for
But this ain't the place for it
(No No No)
I gotta lot of people that's waiting
I know a lot of things ain't change but trust me I'm waving
I told him if he ever needed a prayer then the lords waiting
People talking I hate to have that discussion to start the album out
but what is life without a hater they make up stories so they can
have that glory she prolly told me she pregnant to try n get on Maury
i couldn't tell if she loved me or loved my story the plan was
getting distorted dropped out college to tell
you repentance don't come wit worry I'm moving out
Well just to another couch
I start to believe that this was me a youngin just chasing dreams
My dadddy won't answer me
This cancer feel like the answer to all my
panicking n I'm fortunate for you I feel me work is anointed
I feel like all of us got it
Lord we been serving em for you
Carry my cross
Like ivo at the top of the key
This a product of me
You been there from like the beginning
Got me out the sea now I'm waving I wanna thank you my story gone
tell ya story if it's money I been wit out it I tell you i always
failed without him i could show you the waviest things came from
Detroit I been in some crazy things they gave up on me like Tracey
knees I promised to never live life without him I started the mission
strictly from listening the music is heavenly the stories is
captivating my new girl aggravating its cool cause she fine tho the
lord been blessing me work still stressing me my car still broke down
the lord is my Uber I feel like the best to
do it the wave is nothing new I'm just on now
He save me then left me to it im grown now
Afro from the o town
Yeah
We been working for the whole town
Needa crown forgive me for acting out
That's just the passion I'm passin it's
habitat when momma working it was a lonely house
N I ain't say all this so I could get ya
sympathy I just pray that you'll remember me that's real
The feeling of nothing
I'm facing the cameras & the mission is stunting
Just Picture me running extended clip n its dumping
Neva had a gun tho I was pitching the stuffing
Stuffing all of my pockets you rocking ya budget
Eating Steak well over the lobster I'm having a luncheon
Preach the gospel thru verses they hearing the purpose
Got Divergent wit the words boy the pen is emerging
I Been surfing all in the sea all the see is the surface
It's deeper than purses strapped with a legion of verses
Never been here for the shade I see thru them curtain
Peeping the ones that's wit me n the ones the purping
I'm just the one

The feeling of nothing
I feel unfulfilled and empty
I'm facing the cameras & the mission is stunting
I am front and center in the spotlight with my mission in focus, causing delays and setbacks
Just Picture me running extended clip n its dumping
Imagine me on the run, with an extended clip of ammunition being fired
Neva had a gun tho I was pitching the stuffing
I have never had a gun, but I have been selling and distributing drugs
Stuffing all of my pockets you rocking ya budget
I am making a lot of money from my activities, while you have limited resources

Through my music, I am spreading the good news and people are understanding its meaning
Got Divergent wit the words boy the pen is emerging
My writing skills are unique and constantly evolving
I Been surfing all in the sea all the see is the surface
I have been exploring various opportunities and lifestyles, but have only scratched the surface
It's deeper than purses strapped with a legion of verses
My message and passion are more profound and meaningful than just wealth and material possessions
Never been here for the shade I see thru them curtain
I have never been present for negativity or drama and can see beyond surface-level interactions
Peeping the ones that's wit me n the ones the purping
I am aware of who is genuinely supporting me and who is pretending to care
I'm just the one
I am simply myself, nothing more and nothing less
