The Leftovers

Never wanted a king, I just wanted to leave
They wanted me to change, I just wanted to be me
Now they want me in chains, I just wanted to be free
They turned a blind eye, well now I want them to see
I ain’t here to make to friends, I just need to make amends
The odds stacked against me I’m just here to the break trends
Bring the weapons in, since my melanin got them questioning
What’s best for them, when the record ends, I’m ya reckoning
Don’t wanna see us up, the system made to fail
I’m on my way to heaven but for now I’ll give them hell
Where I’m from 21, you either dead or in jail
It feel amazing looking at they faces when you prevail
But what more do you want from me
Couple sins from my past, they been haunting me
I’m a legend, every song you gone get all of me
Loaded up, you gone get this work at market fee, matter fact it’s all for free
Calm down, nah here I go
I been shooting off the screen, like I’m setting pick and rolls
Ain’t see me listed with the freshest, man it’s cool it’s they didn’t know
You leave a seed outside man it’s guaranteed to grow, I’m ‘bout to blow
Hold up wait a minute, now I’m strapped in
I done seen the light so grab a camera for the action
Learned to play the hand I was dealt to my advantage
When the cards in my hands, every move is a gambit, understand it
What’s a king if he can’t recognize his queen as his equal
What’s a king who don’t really got love for the people
What’s a king who ain’t ready to go and fight against the evil
What’s a king if he don’t know another king is supposed to lead you
Thought we would be dead from this, they ain’t know we bred for this
They sending apologies, tell ‘em send that recompense
Everything seems fair in love and war
Thought they though gave me they all had
Well tell ‘em to send some more

You got something you will live for
Means more when it’s something you will die for
With this life ima give more
Cuz it’s a lot of people ima ride for, ima ride for

Been fighting all my life, born ready
Prepared for the pain & the strife, born ready
If you really want me come and get me, born ready
Understand I got a million soldiers with me, born ready, born ready

Some family in a box, other family members boxed up
But no matter the circumstances, promise that won’t stop us
Live like Super Mario, from underground I popped up
Sure to level up every time I make the block jump
Royal we, paid for the royalty like ASCAP
Dividends, invested in myself like I’m the NASDAQ
Never tripping, opposition setting traps for my demise
To it all I’m Forest Whitaker, I barely bat an eye
Push me to the limits, I may bend but I’ll never fold
I’m a living witness to the greatest story ever told
At the verge of dying, but the lessons life’s providing, made me learn and floss up, so the lining That looks better gold
Life becomes legacy so what hill will I die on
Told you I am legend so my son gone be an icon
This is a snapshot of the vision, better focus in like Nikon
I’m here to make a difference, that keeps living after I’m gone

You got something you will live for
Means more when it’s something you will die for
With this life ima give more
Cuz it’s a lot of people ima ride for, ima ride for

Been fighting all my life, born ready
Prepared for the pain & the strife, born ready
If you really want me come and get me, born ready
Understand I got a million soldiers with me, born ready, born ready

I back up all my quotes
So this the realest thing I’ve ever probably wrote
They water whipping, they ain’t walking off the boat
So I’m just tryna give you hope, and that’s on God
All that I invoke

Sick of politicking, homie ain’t no votes
Close range or from afar, you in the scope
Well I’m the right one to provoke
Last shall be first and first shall be last
A man is worth his wages, so please respect my past
But my credit, I ain’t get where it’s due, I’m talking cash
They ain’t been listening, they missing dividends, out the stash
So how ima live, in this rapping and rhyming biz
All of these dollars spent, to break down ya common sense, so bump it
I’m taking shots back at conglomerates Flavor Flav
That means on site, you know what time it is

Now I'm laying down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
My dignity they’ll never take
Life I live and my name
In this world my only claim
My priceless soul will never change
These sacrifices ain’t in vain

I’m not for sale, tell ‘em I am not for sale
I'm not for sale, homie I'm not for sale
I'm not for sale, tell em that I’m not for sale
They will not prevail

Oh oh oh oh oh

All that slick talk, brick talk, stick talk I'm pissed off
Let’s legit talk, I’m move a lil different like a pimp’s walk
Youngins getting picked off, sent off, spent off
Well I can’t manage with this new world order Eric Bishoff
I been praying for change, I been wishing well
I pray when you get out that you don't miss that cell
When I grew up, I always heard don't kiss and tell
Problem is, I guess some of y'all took that for ya kids as well
How you wake up every morning knowing that you got a seed
And you don't shower them with love and give em everything they need
Even if ya home was broken, why would you dare let that repeat
Are ya goals more important than making sure ya kids succeed
Pops died, I thought it would break me
But it truly reshaped me, God’s grace still amazed me
Inspiration, we stand much stronger when we move together this that motivation music just for us to do it better

Now I'm laying down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
My dignity they’ll never take
Life I live and my name
In this world my only claim
My priceless soul will never change
These sacrifices ain’t in vain

I am not for sale, tell em I am not for sale
I'm not for sale, homie I'm not for sale
I'm not for sale, tell em that I?m not for sale
They will not prevail

Let's get this clear doc, none of y'all can control me
New purpose don't start asking for the old me

This preparation took patience, sweat years dedication
I keep up trick up my sleeve, thinking you know me

I learned how to rebound from any loss in life
Then I learn to make plays like it's my archetype
This is Billie Jean meets Walter White

Because to break bad you gotta walk with light
I'm know I'm talking right
This is the introduction to show you that they been bluffing I'm diagnosing, they animated like Doc McStuffins
I'm Holy Ghosting, means that I feel it while seeing nothing
But they okey doking, it's an illusion you seeing nothing
I see how the game be, they politicking
While taking shots at you like Chaney
But none of it could faze me
You think it's magic, I'm thinking you crazy
That's why I leave no room for slacking, Tracy McGrady

Pay attention, ima show you the trick like a bad magician
Because all the facts been missing, now you in a bad position
the wand, not the cape or the hat, nah nah flick of the wrist
Show a picture, under influence, this is paint with a twist
Through it all I keep my eyes on the light, like Cyclops the ending is way bigger than me
Or what I got

Lost in the shuffle, well now I put my cards on the table
Because whatever I face, I know the King is able

I hope that you made it
I hope that every dream and goal you got that you chase it
I hope that every obstacle you got that you face it
And overcome with it the power God used to beat satan

I hope everybody on the sideline hating
Turn around and show respect by the time that you make it
I hope that you’re not....scared
Cause when the moment arrives
Ain’t no turning & running back, so in ya soul go decide

What you gone do
I ain’t staying here so I’m gone too
This beyond you, but the bigger picture involves you
This the mental stimulation to think about what you facing Then amend yo situation it’s time for a celebration
Times you thought it was over, felt like giving it up playing field ain’t equal, we wasn’t given that much

But in that midnight hour, He came through in the clutch
This is God ordained, we ain't believing in luck

So put ya hands in the sky if you feeling the vibe

Or crank this Jawn up to the max if you still in ya ride

This is how is supposed to feel when you living ya life

Cuz the grass is trimmed with gold when live on this side

Let me you see you bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, we gone push this thing to the max
Let me see you jump, jump, jump, jump, ain’t nobody holding us back
Let me you see you bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, we gone push this thing to the max
Let me see you jump, jump, jump, jump, ain’t nobody holding us back

Calculated decisions, I carry memories of all my loved ones who didn’t Get a chance to live
life, the way that I’m living
Because they died too young or got caught in the system
This is elemental, sending fire through ya airwaves
Under wraps, been creating ripples like some hair waves
Always been a soldier, fighting lions where the Bears play
I’ll avenge y’all, since we talking bout the endgame

Let me show you a trick, like a bad magician
Calculate ya bad decisions, now move like mathematicians
Multiply your faith, divide the truth when you add these quotes
Subtract the X add you a Y like you finding you slope
Stay on the incline, I promise you gone find i’s hope
Then end this song and go live life, you gone find it’s dope

We done lost a lot, felt like we been stepped over
But it’s beauty in what remains, we are the leftovers

We just out here tryna live our life, live our life
But we know that we need God on our side, on our side
We just out here tryna live our life, live our life
But we know that we need God on our side, on our side
