New Beginnings

I’m really who I say I am
You feel me?
Step stepper
On the real
Yeah, new beginnings
Drop to my knees and do my repenting
I know they don’t love what I’m representing, I’ma lose some
God been givin' favor and attention, I done grew some
They not deliverin' my flowers, no appreciation
Dimmin' down my prowess, don’t abbreviate it
We’re in sync if you my mans
Done released so many friends, damn
Tightened up my circle, had some bogus members
Watch them over loyal people, they for sure pretenders
Mad at me 'cause my healin' showed I was copin' with you
Actin' like I ain’t the realest, that’s for sure dementia
Almost had me convinced that somethin' was off with me
When niggas start communicating awkwardly
Must’ve forgot it’s few who as sharp as me
I walk it out, 'cause you know they say «Talk is cheap»
Don’t let no clowns inside my funeral, y’all know the ones
Givin' passes over but we overcome
Drunk off my success is crazy, we’re the sober ones
Weight of the world on my shoulders, still givin' shoulder shrugs
This nigga different for real, not for appeal
Half a billion worth of deals, from the field
Since I had my children, I never run from my feels
Happy as I ever been, see that shit in my stills
Always passin' judgement, and me I never ducked it
I just hope that they see I’m not the one who should be fucked with
Real made man, I keep every surface dusted
Let 'em tell their tales, never fails when they tuck it
That’s fuck shit
We’re taking the time to make sure we stay in line
Not worrying about where the time’s spent
When you’re redefining your life’s lessons while mastering how to write down
your own fine print
When the old endings no longer get in the way of your new beginnings
And you lay low and look up to pray through the invisible halo in order to
avoid sinning
Because you know you can’t do shit new if you’re always bringing your baggage
with you
And you’re left to sit and sift through all the things that have no business
being with you
And you want to let it go in the worst way, but let’s be real, that hurt stays
longer than we want it to
But what’s the point of being scared to let it go if holding onto it haunts you?
It’s time for new beginnings
