lyrics

It’s no distractions
I put it all on the line
It’s do or die you feel the passion
So many problems around
And y’all still acting like it’s tragic
I’ll get my father a house
And put my momma in a mansion
So much shit is backwards
I’m searching for an answer it’s still no distractions

I got a thing for ya
Hold on tight you never know what could swing for ya
Or what could happen if you reach for it
Screaming they want me to have it
I’ll get to it each morning
No room for no progress sit back still answering each person

These verses full of the fire formed from the crucible
Sacrifice what we gotta
Then get to sparking the usual
No time to recollect
Nah we resurrecting hip hop
A silhouette
no funeral i will attest
in your best interest To live and let go
Let’s go
The hard times I was living made home
Swallow my past and release the negativity
I was up in class in the back just fiddling

Now we on
and all I see around me here is the process
I promise to stay conscious at my concerts
Heal the trauma while they watching
Ain’t no costume for the camera
Glitz glamour I don’t need it
Sit and listen to the leaders
Turn around and then go speak it
Take at look at your surroundings
Feel the ground it wants to meet you
All our crowns have fallen down
This the sound you gotta seize true
I understand it’s life you wanna be free to
So I lay it down a little loud
But it’s still

No distractions
I put it all on the line
It’s do or die you feel the passion
So many problems around
And y’all still acting like it’s tragic
I’ll get my father a house
And put my momma in a mansion
So much shit is backwards
I’m searching for an answer it’s still no distractions

And when they callin you out you just gotta be you
All apart of the journey never let it defeat
use It to advantage
You is on the planet
I’ll be damned if we don’t fix all of this damage
God damnit
I love you lord but we been stranded
Won’t see freedom start to ring in from the cannon
Truth ain’t gone love wont vanish
We ride and fall still getting lost like it’s a habit
On a roll to see tomorrow
Catch these feelings through the static
Find the meaning of your energy
Protect yourself imagine
That we never had any of this
Poof gone just like its magic
New dawn
we too strong
But usually tragic
Changing the quota cope with passion
Giving back what we have
Invest our plans into expansion
I don’t have to relax
And I don’t need nobody claiming what I have on my back

We shining stars like asterisk
To magnify our future all our love is what we have to risk
Yah i had a dream but never planned for this
So imma start with just revealing all the masks of the men
Believe it I am back again

God don’t make accidents
I’m wondering what happens when
the passion and the product of this world begin to clash
I hold on to what I have
I move on from all my past
Said when I’m gone give it a chance
Maybe a listen
(I said) maybe all of this wishing starts to pay off
In future list off the bad
I been through the motions at glance
I just wanted a chance at the other side
Just wanna put a couple bands into my mother’s eyes
All these butterflies flying
Singing among the tyrants
We immune to the virus they try to spread right through our mind it’s

No distractions
I put it all on the line
It’s do or die you feel passion
So many problems around
And y’all still acting like it’s tragic
I’ll get my father a house
And put my momma in a mansion
So much shit is backwards
I’m searching for an answer it’s still no distractions
