Walls

Everything's all kosher, it's really almost over I know we going through a struggle, but everybody's supposed to Ace in my hand, I choose when to play it, it's part of the plan Don't wanna wait, way too advanced Taking a stand on my own feet, making a speech See where we land, pardon my reach But I got too many questions like, "Why we vote for a president?" Tryna see who's more or lesser than Black queen and king set the precedent There's a homonym for your reference Stand for truth like Muhammad did Honesty is rare gotta honor it Eating top ramen, ain't much change yet we still climbing All these walls just switched up climates Short delay but we still coming I'm talking like, how many walls I gotta climb up just to make it to the top My mentor said it's plenty You just gotta stick with it, persistence Stories that I must tell to my children If I even have any, listen Diligence and patience, everyday I'm learning Cuttin' thru the static, rappin' like a savage Third time's the charm but I'm more interested in first My birth broke the curse, old tradition Need I mention limited beliefs and walls of steel built to block out how you think and What you feel Tearing down those barriers, they tried bury us Physical, mental, spiritual They really scared of us What you expect when they took us from our nest and brought us to America Y'all know the rest Intrigued by business, I'm just minding mine Working on the weekends, hustle and the grind Always active, can't let distractions sneak in and knock you off ya path Show no weakness Last day of February if you needed a time capsule They put a cap on our history How 28 days gone define that They try to keep us numb, second month of the year hope we stay calm I doubt it these last years have been real clouded Up and away new strength new power Still going higher, waiting for the rise of the black messiah How many walls I gotta climb up just to make it to the top My mentor said it's plenty You just gotta stick with it, persistence Stories that I must tell to my children If I ever have any
