lyrics
Ride in the dark as a jit
We became child authors
But I'm fine with it, yes I'm fine with it
Permanent tears grow millimeters per event
Now they down to my feet
Thats a lot of traumas, but I'm fine wit it
Daddy fuck you, you chose crack over us!
You so damn weak
Step daddy beat us for small shit
I'm 30 still piss in my sleep
Yea
Okay
Where's my protection I'm just a reflection
Of you buying dope when yo kids witcha...
Nigga thats a deal switcha
Thats why I don't deal witcha
Walking around like a ghost everytime I show up to my grand mama house
You cursing my grand mama out, I'll rip the few teeth you got out
Ensures a meal to you now, but I'm fine wit it
But I go vroom vroom through this harsh life
Black car bat car make room, 02134 zoom zoom
Rocket launch problems go boom boom,
Kill-your legion of doom,
Better days now I got a bookoo
I got a bat bih ooo ooo
No thanks to you damn fool
Cold winter, no dinner
Not J. Cole but a born sinner
Ain't rich yet, but the Forbes in him
My dark days gotta forefit em
Feeling my pain when the chords hit em
Tour with em, spit a little more venom
-Crunch time and the core get him
No more days for the poor fiddle
-I done got bored with it
Clean this shit out like a chore with it
Beggin you to come along forget it
-Done- put a lil fork in it
Watching me pivot this time
Do it to benefit mine
All that I know is the climb
Shifted my motives to rhymes
Every word uttered divine
Speakerbox feeling the love is below
Push away when I know love is the faux
Premature living so steady the growth
7 this young nigga ready to go
Clean it and steam it, and ready the clothes
Uh, I'm always ready to show
Give it to those who are willing to know
Thats how you set it to blow
A decade long of this hard living it brought me down to my knees
All this mental anxiety it taught me how to just breathe
--If I never had this road, I couldn't be this far
-I'm a take this to the black, darker than Batman's car
Keep on goin, goin, goin, and you can't be stopped
Keep on rollin, rollin, rollin, you just can't be topped
Keep on showin, showin, showin, that you can't be rocked
Even when you know their hearts, darker than Batman's car
Keep on goin, goin, goin, all the way (all the way)
Keep on rollin, rollin, rollin, everyday (everyday)
Keep on showin, showin, showin, you got faith (you got faith)
Bet it all against the odds like anyway (all day)
Little did I know, who I'd become when I get old
Watchin everybody play the hand
cuz I don't bow out and I don't fold
Yeah - put in my hand I'm a get it sold
Here to open up yet still I close, uh
--Been a lil minute tho
Got my shit right let the business grow
-Thinking back then never been that low
Bank roll, unload when I hit my goals
-On time when I spit my flows
No woes, just know, that I been that bro
24/7 when I get that gross, uh
--Work round the clock
-Folks on the scene still know bout me even tho I'm not round a lot
-All year my season, I gotta feed em
Rockin my head, and got waves in my Caesar
Look at my lady I know how to please her
Yeah, tryin but never defeat him
Uh, energy never depleted
Him and then him and I'm handing out Ether
Given a gift that I hand to the people
Spillin this the paint and it covers the easel
A decade long of this hard living it brought me down to my knees
All this mental anxiety it taught me how to just breathe
--If I never had this road, I couldn't be this far
-I'm a take this to the black, darker than Batman's car
Keep on goin, goin, goin, and you can't be stopped
Keep on rollin, rollin, rollin, you just can't be topped
Keep on showin, showin, showin, that you can't be rocked
Even when you know their hearts, darker than Batman's car
Keep on goin, goin, goin, all the way (all the way)
Keep on rollin, rollin, rollin, everyday (everyday)
Keep on showin, showin, showin, you got faith (you got faith)
Bet it all against the odds like anyway (all day)
Raising up from my circumstance
Til I'm way too high like Urkel pants
-Keep it independent I'm a curve advance
Almost gave up for the world to stand
Uh, learned that I'm stronger than
My doubts, my fears, and the word of man
Stick around longer then a burden can
Hard to get it off like a burnin pan
-Crowd like Burnin Man, swaying all to my speech
Resonate with my peace
Cut it down like Bleach
I'm way too proud for at least
Let me off of my leash
And just gravitate to my soul
-And I’m not afraid, of moving in the dark
Cuz the challenge made me whole
Keep on goin, goin, goin, and you can't be stopped
Keep on rollin, rollin, rollin, you just can't be topped
Keep on showin, showin, showin, that you can't be rocked
Even when you know their hearts, darker than Batman's car
Keep on goin, goin, goin, all the way (all the way)
Keep on rollin, rollin, rollin, everyday (everyday)
Keep on showin, showin, showin, you got faith (you got faith)
Bet it all against the odds like anyway (all day)
