Pursuit of Happiness

They don't call me the hero for nothing Heaven ain't up for discussion A soviet stand out, they Russian Take over the game as I rush in Don't care bout the state that you stuck in You gotta look at life and say f*ck it You gotta love the haters, say suck it And you can tell all their bitches love it But you don't bump underground hip hop That's cause you think you're above it He asked you if you heard his latest song, you're already changing the subject You don't know in the future they'll love it Stepped on his toes Slept on em like he was Vincent Van Gogh In the future they'll all love him His art will reach generations As I would retort Your soul, and your minds like a battery charge But your draining your battery letting them draw from it Watch them stand over you large Hear the devil calling like he got you on speed dial You should retrace your steps, Then meanwhile Better rubberneck in this neck of the woods Check over your shoulder, it's better to look Doublecheck before you cross Cause on these roads it get's really dark It's been a hot minute, and you came too far To turn back now, so remain on course Maybe pray to the Lord It'll take a little bit of time for you to find Some peace of mind And maintain that state of mind Get some alpha waves in that beta life You can change your life Make it a way of life Colonization came Bringing wars, disease, famine, violence, and the destruction and violation of our cultural laws, sacred sites, families, and communities I survived, my existence is resistance Me saying my name is (reversed name) that is resistance in it of itself Rubbing sandpaper on my own skin I was shaving off all my melanin, so I could be like the white kids My brother walked in and nearly whooped my ass You're beautiful so take that pad out of your hand I'm about to fucking cry as I tell this to you But the way you look has got em feeling jealous of you That's why people get tan in the first place Some people can't tan in the first place Some people get mad in the worst way Some people gonna be racist, and you don't deserve it Some girls won't look at ya, but there's prejudice in em Their parents scared of you They stay away from you Her daddy stares at you Like he put a hex on you Won't give a chance to you Cause he's seen someone like you But that don't mean shit You're a sensitive spirit Cover it up and don't let no-one near it, and don't let no-one change that Once they get ya there's no way of going back That perspective could change the world Cause you care about it Open your eyez, be aware about it Give a f*ck bout what people think They will judge for a minute, then call you great Say they believed in you, being fake If you make it, you made it, bro call it fate Don't let no-one say You can't do nothin Especially me, I can't stop you from it Experience this life, there's a lot to love One day you'll find you someone to love Don't take her for granted, go show her something Something she's never seen In this life you can be what you wanna be
