Lyrics

It's like

I do this for me
I can never stop because of me
I can never get a little sleep
I'm just trying to stay up on my feet
yeah yeah yeah yeah (x2)

Are you ready today for the challenges coming tomorrow
Lean on your elders forever they got wisdom you can borrow
Believe that
took so many lessons just to see that
Independent made and paid
Let's achieve that
Art entrepreneur it just so happens that we rap
Showing love is one of my vices I always relapse
We Revolve like ellipses
We shining through all eclipses
descendants of royalty
So greatness is all I can be
True to form get informed then reform
How you formed
Been ill with the pen and I'm back with the storm
MJ with the horns
Got the game up in arms
Opposition gettin torn
Better sound the alarm
Oh my god
It's getting real
We manifest
What's real
Philosophy is really
Hard to kill
So Ima spit my shit
Until it's real

It's like

I do this for me
I can never stop because of me
I can never get a little sleep
I'm just trying to stay up on my feet
yeah yeah yeah yeah (x2)

Self directed reflective on my perspectives
I check it like chess kick it like tekken
I been a weapon im blessing and repping us
By being the best I can be
7 habits of highly
effective people planning
personal pursuits through the roof
What I'm aiming for
Social and financial capital
Fuck the fam ho
Put my people on and help them win
That's how the game go
Stood apart from start
Naw we ain't the same bro
And why would you want to be me
Why would I want to be you
Use the gifts that you got god
That's the definition of truth
I do this for me
I suggest you find you
And when you do keep it g
no matter just push through
Oh my god
It's getting real
We manifest
What's real
Philosophy is really
Hard to kill
So Ima spit my shit
Until it's real
We manifest
What's real
We manifest
What's real
We manifest
What's real
So Ima spit my shit
Until it's real
So Ima spit my shit
Until it's real

I do this for me
I can never stop because of me
I can never get a little sleep
I'm just trying to stay up on my feet
yeah yeah yeah yeah (x6)
