lyrics

I got on Nina Simone feeling good it's a new day
Blow tomorrow anything he do or say the new wave
Pledge to myself promise wouldn't break
Couldn't talk me off the ledge took a leap of faith
Heard was a stretch goals I'm reaching for
Well if it ain’t to be the best what else I'd be here for
My life scanning all the pieces on the chess board
Always made sure my best move when I stepped forward
Don't wanna wind up like could've been, should've been, would've been
Wanna see you do well but not as good as them
Saw the hunger in the youngster they took him in
Everything clearer from the outside looking in
Can't buckle before they latch on
Know you gotta leave get your rap on come back before they catch on
Didn't know what I was walking into
Vultures hovering careful what they talk you into
Saying no strings attach what they got you into
Lips moving fast tongue sharp as ginsu
They was in his camp not his corner
Became a lone soldier chapter ends with no closure
More calm cool collected than he ever been
It's no sweat still brought the heat he said he'd bring
Better respect every second minute hour
Nowadays lucky if you live to get your flowers
