| [00:14.85] | <Intro: Issa Gold> |
| [00:16.98] | Talking 'bout, uh, uh, what they talking 'bout? Uh |
| [00:19.58] | What they talking 'bout? Uh, uh, what they talking 'bout? Uh |
| [00:22.84] | What they talking 'bout? Uh, uh, what they talking 'bout? Uh |
| [00:27.08] | What they talking 'bout? Uh, uh, what they talking 'bout? Uh |
| [00:29.94] | <Verse 1: AK> |
| [00:30.26] | "You're stupid to think the world's small enough to heal all of us." |
| [00:33.94] | That's what the teacher say, "Go to the preacher, pray." |
| [00:36.54] | But you gotta pay, gotta fight you a cheaper way |
| [00:37.63] | Look into myself, try to find me a deeper way |
| [00:39.50] | Chase my dreams, create, made me me today |
| [00:41.36] | As I prosper, know the feds, they watch us |
| [00:43.04] | So I stunt, obnoxious when I'm in they binoculars |
| [00:45.04] | A nigga just wanna be free, I was in the same hood and nobody rescued me, my nigga |
| [00:47.03] | Cut the pleading, believe and self-achieve, nothing with greed, just be yourself, uh |
| [00:52.06] | Realize that your strength is locked inside |
| [00:54.35] | It's the thing that you feel when you open your eyes |
| [00:56.13] | That feeling's alive, go ahead, homie, and fly |
| [00:58.05] | Someday you'll get high, leaving your mark in the sky |
| [00:59.77] | But 'til then, I got this, **** your hypothesis |
| [01:01.82] | New York blocks is where I built my conscience up |
| [01:03.71] | Brought my ganja, tryna live life prosperous |
| [01:05.62] | Since a toddler, had a dream and I followed it |
| [01:07.52] | Be dodgin' them hollow tips |
| [01:08.56] | Throw some shots, they missed |
| [01:09.52] | Had to stay optimist' |
| [01:10.30] | Neighborhood pharmacist kept me on Cloud 9 when the hard times would hit |
| [01:13.60] | All time high, first time I hit Fronto, kid |
| [01:15.29] | By eighteen, had the mind of a king |
| [01:16.82] | Gotta learn from mistakes, what it takes to lead |
| [01:18.69] | But of course had a taste of the evil seed |
| [01:20.47] | So I could truly see what I was meant to be |
| [01:22.44] | Who would know much later, I would be much greater? |
| [01:24.36] | Every parent-teacher conference told my mom I'm a failure |
| [01:26.51] | 'Cause they couldn't see the prophet in disguise as a player |
| [01:28.23] | Rise on them haters, I defied all the labels |
| [01:30.18] | Swear to keep it G 'til I'm at the crossroads, and the Grim Reaper creep, tryna banish my soul |
| [01:32.06] | Used to sin every week, had to let the pain go |
| [01:35.41] | Gotta practice what you preach, but I ain't an angel |
| [01:38.05] | Mobbed in the streets, what the blue rag know? |
| [01:39.46] | Know no power and the peace, but I took the gang road |
| [01:41.22] | But despite all the demons tryna bring me down low |
| [01:43.17] | I just rise like a phoenix and I shine all gold (shine all gold) |
| [01:50.75] | <Verse 2: Issa Gold> |
| [01:51.03] | Flatbush was my stomping ground |
| [01:54.18] | Mother wanted to keep me out |
| [01:56.25] | Tried to put me on a different route |
| [01:58.09] | Sent me to schools to smarter crowds |
| [01:59.97] | Problem is when my school was done |
| [02:01.79] | Would come home to my neighborhood |
| [02:03.78] | Learned the ways of the hood I'm from |
| [02:05.54] | But in my books, I was a gifted one |
| [02:07.56] | My conduct, it was ****** up |
| [02:09.30] | I was the class clown since I started up |
| [02:10.99] | Getting good grades, but that's not enough |
| [02:12.89] | Had a 99, but my behavior sucked |
| [02:14.97] | High school, a nigga found drugs |
| [02:16.74] | Prescription pills, not the good stuff |
| [02:18.68] | Xanax when I'm waking up, Percocet just to keep me up |
| [02:22.45] | Nose candy was a favorite, 8-ball for only two of us |
| [02:26.52] | Popping 'X' was another one until we found out the shit was cut |
| [02:30.13] | Ain't it funny, when you think about it? |
| [02:31.87] | My mother thought that these schools were bound to |
| [02:33.74] | Keep a nigga on the straight and narrow |
| [02:35.58] | Instead, they filled me up with problems |
| [02:37.56] | But in the same breath, I wouldn't change shit |
| [02:39.71] | Because the pain is what made me become great |
| [02:41.49] | Everything that I go through—because faith |
| [02:43.56] | It was hard but it caused me to change shit |
| [02:45.14] | Addiction lead to depression |
| [02:46.84] | And in depression, you're taught some lessons |
| [02:48.77] | If you listen, then keep on pushing |
| [02:50.58] | Then the solution cause evolution |
| [02:52.66] | Obstacles come inside of your path |
| [02:54.55] | And make you switch up and step on the gas |
| [02:56.18] | If you look back inside of your path |
| [02:57.97] | You find direction, it's like your own map |
| [02:59.99] | <Outro: Issa Gold> |
| [03:01.37] | It's like your own map, uh, it's like your own map, uh |
| [03:04.60] | It's like your own map, uh, it's like your own map |
