| Dear lord, I know its been a while
|
| Still killing rappers is just apart of my style
|
| Still keeping faith even though it’s harder to smile
|
| Still married to the game, forever’s part of the vows
|
| I’m a star, but still part of the crowd
|
| On 'I Am Us' I began carving that out
|
| I’ve been speaking truth between the marches and doubt
|
| I’ve known the principles since principals was calling my house
|
| Yeah, so just face it
|
| Can’t solve how I kill, these ain’t verses, these are cold cases
|
| 'The Proven Theory' gave me 'Transition' to go places
|
| So it’s about time you all rise for the ovation
|
| Take it back to that cold basement
|
| Where it all started, I don’t need a map, I know the location
|
| Baby daughter on the way, I keep the throne waiting
|
| And that’s where the everything I hold sacred
|
| Dear Riley
|
| You never have to search any farther than right here to find me
|
| And the world’s been trying to get the devil to blind me
|
| So the blessing of your presence is timely
|
| Gotta be strong, gotta survive
|
| So many things that I face
|
| Let’s just find a way
|
| Ohhh
|
| Fly through the sky, burst through the fire
|
| I’ll do whatever it takes
|
| Let’s just find a way
|
| Ohhh
|
| I’m walking through the fire
|
| Recently I am troubled by the things that I admire
|
| I think I need a church, so somebody get the choir
|
| Because I am no longer fulfilled by the things that I’ve accquired
|
| Oh, damn, I think I should retire
|
| Caught between making a family and taking music higher
|
| Driving for the cliff, I feel the shaking in my tires
|
| Right before I crash, see the faces I’ve inspired
|
| And I give them faith through the wire
|
| Life ain’t nothing pleasant, this the place we desire
|
| Somewhere we can dream, and escape being tired
|
| Tell me what you need and I’ll take you to the supplier
|
| Tell me where you’re headed and I’ll pave the way
|
| I ain’t trying to say that I’ll save the day
|
| But if you need a seat, I’ll save a space
|
| Take this map before it fades away
|
| Dear Riley
|
| You never have to search any farther than right here to find me
|
| And the world’s been trying to get the devil to blind me
|
| So the blessing of your presence is timely
|
| Gotta be strong, gotta survive
|
| So many things that I face
|
| Let’s just find a way
|
| Ohhh
|
| Fly through the sky, burst through the fire
|
| I’ll do whatever it takes
|
| Let’s just find a way
|
| Ohhh
|
| Walking through the fire only made me stronger
|
| Days are getting shorter, and the nights are longer
|
| Suddenly the airs a little harder to breathe
|
| Ohhhh
|
| But I gotta be strong
|
| Gotta be strong, gotta survive
|
| So many things that I face
|
| Let’s just find a way
|
| Ohhh
|
| Fly through the sky, burst through the fire
|
| I’ll do whatever it takes
|
| Let’s just find a way
|
| Ohhh |
