Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thinking bout my past boy I did some shit
Flip some shit and hit some licks
I was always in the mix
Put in work from 9-6
Cuz 6-9 I'm with yo bitch
Karate class we chopped
Them bricks
I ran through hoes on scholarship
Niggas should be rugs the way they lying
My powers come from Zion
The mile high club pilot
Mr. Enjoy silence
Searching for peace and solace
I smoke from the
Tree of Knowledge
Not even the sun higher
The Chief, I'm the Don Dada
Don't look I might run by ya
And strike like you umpires
Follow the light, the shade behind me like sundials
Flowin like da Nile, cuz niggas in denial
I'm so far ahead
Y'all gotta catch up it's gone be awhile
2099 need vr glasses just to see me now
Can't keep me down
I elevate, then dream shake
Sky hook, Dikembe
I don't think I'm better than you
That's just what my pen say
Can't touch me this ain't Penn state
I do what I want and
You do what you can
You took the easy route
I'm out here tryna get it in
Cuz I do want I want and
You do what you can
You took the easy route
I'm tryna get it in
If I want it then it's in my reach (Want it then it's in my reach)
This is my acceptance speech (This is my acceptance speech)
Cuz if I want it then it's my reach
This is my acceptance speech
I broke the mold and took the heat
This God body Hercules
Aye, This speech is like my acceptance. I accept it
I'm the bestest in my section
Get a lecture if you test it
Pen, pad, or a pencil
Lethal weapons
It's raining blessings check the weather
Umbrella or a sweater? Way too clever to ever be misled by the reverend
God's within me, He's my skeleton
Back straight, wrist stiff
Protecting me while I'm out here wrecking shit
Yes he did, yes he did
Walked a certain path, ain't see the shit that I was stepping in
Pops jammed E-40, Tupac, and Method Man
Now he gone and shits been different than it's ever been
I pray to God you let him in
I pray to God you let me in
Niggas talk about a lot of shit
That they ain't never did
Need to cut it all the way the
Fuck out with that extra shit
Aye man cut it out with all that extra shit
Bro you ain't got to have new shoes just keep them hoes clean
I do what I want and
You do what you can
You took the easy route
I'm out here tryna get it in
Cuz I do want I want and
You do what you can
You took the easy route
I'm tryna get it in
If I want it then it's in my reach (Want it then it's in my reach)
This is my acceptance speech (This is my acceptance speech)
Cuz if I want it then it's my reach
This is my acceptance speech
I broke the mold and took the heat
This God body Hercules
Thinking bout my future
I can see the millions in it
I ain't need no pill to realize Ion have no limits
Fuck the opposition, my ego my competition
If I can beat that nigga, then the rest of y'all is finished
Peep my step back
I'm stepping through my set backs
I came to get my get back
I'm here to get my lick back
You can have the bitch back
Just tell her send that bag back
Nah fuck it she can have that
Cuz I already bagged that
Lost a couple homies I used to consider kin to me
I can't help my confidence triggers they insecurities
I can't help my energy got 'em feeling like mini me
Niggas do you foul
But cannot the accept the penalty
Chemically
It's chemistry
Mentally
Physically
I'm well composed just
Like the symphony
That's why she into me
I can smell the pheromones
Like that shit was airborne
My jumper been in rare form
I'm going deep like baritones
Somebody cue the air horns
Can I have your undivided
Hate to see you uninspired
Unrequited
Undesired
I can't politic with niggas
Who don't have no burning fire
Wonder why you uninvited




Nigga I been through the wire
Passion is what we admire

CONCEALING FATE, PART ONE: ACCEPTANCE



Now show your hands, your hands
You have no right to complicate
Now show your hands, your hands
You have no right to complicate
You put to me in your defense
A circumstance in evidence
That's what you said
To me it seems you advertised

It's your chosen last book
Gave you everything
All you need to make your decision
Keep these wounds open for you
Now they're closing
Scars remind me every moment

Revolve alone, revolve alone
Revolve alone, revolve alone

All I said I meant it
Confused by the mire
We stride relentlessly
All I said I meant it

Now show your hands, your hands
You have no right to complicate
Now show your hands, your hands
You have no right to complicate
Revolve alone become defenseless

All I ever said
Before the moment
Twisting words inside my head
All I ever said
Take back everything, all I wanted
All I ever needed was here
