Verse 1
Chicago night, the streets are cold
Every single day, we just try to keep ahold
Of any little peace that anybody to show
My city knows pain so my city has soul
The skyline beautiful, the vibe unusual
The weather's insane, nothing to get used to You can't trust none, everybody uses you
But I see it different, I ain't trying to lose the youth
Everybody struggl'in, everybody hustl'in
Work all day but you feel you have noth'in
Pain everyday, we try to rise above it
We're trying to feel alive, we're trying to feel someth'in
I'm trying to be a leader, show another way
I'm trying to be the light, show a better way
My people are dying, every single day
its time to get free! Its time to break away!
Hook -
I'm trying to be a leader, show another way
I'm trying to be the light, show a better way
My people are dying, every single day
its time to get free! Its time to break away!
Verse 2
I am the solution, mental pollution
Allows the illusions to cause us confusion
Chicago is ruthless, I'm shapin the future
I'm not angel but I ain't gonna shoot ya
Every rapper killin, every rapper dealing
Every rapper swaggin, every rapper poison!
Look, I'm trying to get my money, I'm trying to stack it high
I'm out here in the struggle, yeah I get high
But I ain't killing mine, I ain't killin time
I'm trying to be progressive man, really be fly
Cs is back, we service the people
So, just sit back, be focused & be you
New movement, new revolutions
New ideas for the new institutions
No more prisons, we're mentally boosted
Spiritually troopin, my soldiers can do this !

I'm working,grinding,hustling,climbing
Shining, my brain bling [bling] like a diamond
Mental calisthenics, my thoughts are my leverage
This is how I get it, I live it like I said it Futuristic message inside every single sentence
Nostradamus promise to the mission that I'm sketching
My movement is my weapon, church inside my sessions
Blessings to the people, I give power in my records
They weren't ready for us then,they ain't ready now
Righteous schemin on you demons, I see all you suckas drown
Tomorrow is a dream & I don't ever sleep
So I'm giving to you now,everything that I see

Verse 1
I don't play a role, I just play my position
And my position is missions
And pissin off bitches
I can't help that I'm vicious
I live it, eat it, shit it
So fuck the critics, I just move with quickness
or maybe the swiftness
Or maybe its intricate
Either way, about YOU, (huh)
I don't give a shit
If I start, I finish it,
I'm limitless gimmickless & different
Im glistening & interesting
My religion is my vision & livin it
Inconspicuous, amongst the devils &
Wickedness
My righteous pillages, give back to the villages
Question me! I won't give a shit !
It's better than you just sitting there listening
That's not why I'm spitting it
I spit to uplift the children & give em scrimmages
Before the real game scares the living shit in it
Take my vividness & handle your businesses

The take
04:14
|
|||
Everybody taking , ain't nobody giving
Praying that I give like it is their religion
And I don't even get it cuz I'm on a mission
To talk to the world & teach a million children
Or maybe they just need it, and I can't really see it
You don't know a story, till you take the time to feel it
It takes a little pain to really start believing
It's takes a little time, to really start the healing
Take, take, take, now I realize I take
I give and I take, now I think I see the take
I take all the attention, I take away the pain
Look I'm taking my respect & taking all my change
I'm gonna take charge, I'm gonna take the lead
I'm gonna take what I'm worth and taking what I need
To truly live your life, you gotta do this everyday
Can't just take, can't just give,gotta give,gotta take
Hook
I'm just trying to take cuz I gave everything I had
Now I'm bugged out, searching, going to get mine
Verse 2
Gimme that, gimme that, been there,done that
Now I gotta get mine, James Brown, Pay Back
I want everything between, the train and Maybach
Experience, I'm livin it, everybody, say that
Taking it, taking it to another place
I got tired of the chase so I changed up my ways
So I'm handling my biz, Say how it is
If I'm taking then I'm taking, I'm giving then I give

Sand in the glass

Verse 1
No games, don't chase fame, faceless
No names, all moves,chase papers
My way, all day, makes haters
Ya'll lame, I ain't, I stay gangsta
But not bangin & no gun to aim with
More like a mind & grind that is dangerous
Confident & prosperous, I'm shameless
I can't help but announce my greatness
I'm godly, a poor righteous teacher
My arm,leg,leg,arm,head will reach ya!
If you believe it, Jesus Christ will free ya!
But I'm more like a Dali llama preacher
My Mayan reflex got the world tweaking
My Aztec instincts will highlight ya weakness
I've broke down, these Illuminati secrets
I ain't scared of shit but not embracing my breathing
Hook
Tick Tock ... The hands will never stop
The sand in the glass, flips up to the top
This life right here's the only one I got
So, I'ma do my thang till the day that I drop
Love me right now, don't love me at my grave
Pay attention close to what I do & what I say
I'm in tune with the world & its crazy ways
I don't really play cuz this life is not a game
Verse 2
I'm out here man, I ain't trying to die
but I'm out here, out here getting it in
I'm trying to live, gotta feed my kids
Gotta pay my bills, I wanna smoke & chill
Count my blessings, count my cash
Gotta make them calls, make these plans
I ain't trying to dream, I'm living it up!
Filling my cup, pressing my luck
Giving the people the truth that they want
My soul & my passion, the things that I flaunt
Keep the hoes, I'm unbelievable
Young brown dude trying to change the world
They saying all this shit that will make you dream
I wake you up, I give you what you need
Get it, get it, ain't no limits
And you better keep a smile while you stay all in it

Lord have mercy on my soul
This cold world I can't control
my righteous steps, in time with every breathe
I scheme to live, I hope its not a test
Listen up world, I'm not a religious man
But I've seen enough to let you know I understand
This is world is mike but the world is cold
and that don't feel right to my soul
but it feels right to the reallness in me
and nothing matters if the real ones feel me
that's who wrote for, that's who fight for
that's who my sights for, that's who I'll die for
I'm trying to see us free, Jesus ain't saving us
that'd why we scheme no matter who prays for us
I'm not pefect, I never will be
I am a human, someone will kill me
or somthing
but I ain't worried
I'm drunk off life
I'm in no hurry, vision never blurry
fuck the jury, duck the judge , my souls enough

Verse 1
All energy, my flow so heavenly
Yet ... on my enemies, it falls so heavily
They can't reach my pedigree, jealousy
They try to get the best of me, testing me
I'm working like theirs ten of me, multiplicity
I'm blowing hella trees, chasing em down with Hennessey
I'm writing down what I see ...
Vision ... Its my intuition ...
I'm building these bridges and made it my religion
Maven ... I save em from enslavement
A man of the people, I'm pounding the pavement
A spaceship ... in tune with the ancients
Its basic ... maneuver the matrix
Sacred ... I am illiuminated
Hate it ... you are amongst greatness
This is thee announcement, suckas so astounded
They should've been working, now they are surrounded
Verse 2
Let em know that my flow, not typical
Let em know that my flow will make em glow
Shining, for the people I'm climbing
Grinding, like an eagle I'm flying
Logan, that's home base, take notice
Bogus, all of these lames are hopeless
Potent, I speak passion, a poet
Zon'in, philosophy is motion
Devotion, to my style & my creed
Seperates me, from simple suckas & frenemies
Everybody mad, ain't nobody feeling good
Everbody jealous, they ain't doing what they should
That's ugly ... just let go & love me
G-O-D , the only one to judge me
I hustle, so a sucka never above me
I manifest destiny, learn something from me
Hook
Born to set it off ...
Haters get em off ...
I make moves, make news so tell em all
These dudes are hella soft ...
They're emotions tell it all ...
I make moves, make news so tell em all
