[Verse 1: Chisenga] I've been sober for a while, try to lead by example Tackling this life, so my hands full Head on the low, growing up I played Hammer learning dance moves Way before the blockchain, my nigga, cash ruled (Cash rules everything around me, CREAM) Momma don't wanna tell me when she going through things And it affects me, my friends think I got mood swings They don't know I got shit on my mind I question this life and I don't get it, yo Chiler just died, my young brother had a mini-stroke What happens when you pray? You never see results (uh) Thе pastor told me, "Like, Chisenga, keep thе faith, man. It's achievable Learn how to nurture the nature Plant a seed and it's conceivable." Tendency to overthink what is just me alone It's second nature for a Gemini And my evolution can never be televised Public figure with a private life At times I can't sleep, it's all these demons that I fight at night (uh)

[Verse 2] Morning time sunrise, the birds chirping Part of the life equation is to seek truth and find purpose (and find purpose) Used to smoke a doobie just to open up the third eye So I could see the world through a bird's eye High enough so I could kiss the sky Reality struck in the mirror, like "Who is this guy?" I was battling addiction but I was in denial Actin' like I wrote the freakin' book of life, but what would I know? A lot of shit thrown at me, but then I didn't blink I was hit with everything except the kitchen sink So what, I'm a flawed human, and I'm a young Entrepreneur, call me the next Mark Cuban I got friends that I ain't spoken to in years It's like this unwritten code because the love is still there And I'm not the perfect child, but then my momma still care And when she mad at me, I respect her enough to feel fear And it ain't the type of fear that you're scared It's the fear to lose that one true love that's been there Uh (Woop woop!) Ayy

[Verse 3] Growing up, I was creative, man, I knew the art But it's hard to make a dog out of the wood bark Toxic people, I cut them out of my life And that goes for him and her, and I don't care if you're my... (Shhh) I'll leave you to your own device, you fill in the blanks Soon as I walk they want one more chance, damn Huh, it's no coincidence Think about it and don't treat it just like some isolated incident This is the road to success You would think that it's brutal if you don't own it and invest Chateau Petrus with Phillipé when we celebrate Partnerships you only dream about like when you meditate (uh) Partnerships you only dream about like when you meditate One bottle out of a dozen One sip, a nigga buzzin' Elevate This is food for thought, you should get a plate
