Lyrics
Brain - Young and foolish enough to ride against the tide
Game - Show and prove ish, I've earned every stripe
My back knows some bout the weight of sacrifice
Heavy lifting, low wage, I've been paying the price
Understand the matrix is designed to break me
I'm not here to fix it, but what's mine I'll take it
No question I'm the answer in this game
AI3 1 2 the key, you will remember the name
I'm crossing over like em white guys on the cover
Multiple identities like I'm a spy undercover
I don't rhyme, I prophecy, that's what a god do
Dialing to get that Marley, high frequency that's what I vibe to
Ghost rider, it's smokes and flames, watch the spin
My story is inked on my skin
Let that sink in
Please don't treat me like I'm faulty
Cause I act twenty in my forty
I been trynna find my home
Figure out this shit on my own
Please don't treat me like I'm faulty
Cause I act twenty in my forty
I been trynna find my home
Figure out this shit on my own
Like K'Naan I started out just to vibe out
Canine my mouth ain't some to try out
I'm a feline underneath this tone, too much rage
Against the machine designed to keep us enslaved
It's obvious who benefits from crime
Too long in the tunnel, too dark to wait for the light
So I'm carving my way out through thick n thin
When you don't see me, I'm in the kitchen seasonin
In the studio, logic session open, I'm teachin reasonin
Trynna get my money up without worries of dividend
Used to get paranoid about my forties, now I'm livin em
Probably the first of my kind to make it this far
If you wanna rock gimme a sign, dust off your star
Shine on
Please don't treat me like I'm faulty
Cause I act twenty in my forty
I been trynna find my home
Figure out this shit on my own
Please don't treat me like I'm faulty
Cause I act twenty in my forty
I been trynna find my home
Figure out this shit on my own
Somebody said this pain be useful to somebody someday
So I set sail to a place where every day is Sunday
No mondays, just fun days
Hmm Now now
Now I'm deep down in the middle of the ocean
Trynna stay afloat through every motion
Strike a balance between logic and emotion
I'm listening to the sound of my intuition
Give myself the tools to touch my vision
Captain of my soul, I don't take any orders
I've been walking on waters,
Performing wonders
I crossed many borders
I'm a whole show, I'm a vibe
All eyes on me should have a price tag
Instead I give you a smile, I'm nice like that
Where I come from, ain't no two like me
Understand the one, key is to move highly
You just talk about it, you ain't never tried it
So all I'm sayin is...
"Those who can't, talk about those who can
Now can you or can you not?" [Denzel Washington]
Please don't treat me like I'm faulty
Cause I act twenty in my forty
I been trynna find my home
Figure out this shit on my own
Please don't treat me like I'm faulty
Cause I act twenty in my forty
I been trynna find my home
Figure out this shit on my own
