[00:00.00]I consider myself a storyteller
[00:03.21]I'm a writer, I'm a producer, I'm an author
[00:05.95]I'm an actor, I'm a director
[00:07.88]Let be able to go into these different worlds is very powerful for me
[00:12.74]So I love to work
[00:14.49]I don't know any other way
[00:15.59]Part of it in the beginning was
[00:17.92]I was running from poverty
[00:19.40]I thought
[00:20.32]Everything's messed up
[00:21.23]I don't know what to do, where to go or look
[00:23.64]Who I am?
[00:24.71]Has to be
[00:26.54]Pure
[00:29.80]I'll get it, just patience
[00:31.11]Work, earn, learning
[00:31.94]Will he ever see to perceive me as other than pure
[00:37.87]
[00:39.99]So check me in God (check me in, check me in)
[00:42.18]Check me in God
[00:43.52]To your gates, to your heaven, to your hymns God
[00:45.76]Check me in, check me in
[00:47.20]Check me in God
[00:48.92]The streets dissect me by the limb
[00:49.99]Check me in God (check me in, God)
[00:53.28]To your gates, to your heaven, yo your hymns God
[00:55.64]Check me in, check me in

[00:59.48]Give me your soul, give me your beat
[01:02.06]Give me everything I need just to unleash the beast
[01:04.47]Darkest angel, but I come in peace
[01:06.32]I flew over heads, I'm a traveling man
[01:08.17]One sick mother****er with a way fare plan
[01:10.73]To eliminate the feeling of the devil on my shoulders
[01:13.50]I remain a soldier, starving artist with composure
[01:15.91]If X marks the spot, give me three X's
[01:18.34]Bare strength, hands like I hold them
[01:19.96]More or less I mold them
[01:21.16]I even turn my actions into diamonds if I smould 'em
[01:23.43]Not a Simpson, but finally felt what home is
[01:25.96]And my spirit needs fine tuning
[01:27.64]A caveman and I'm finally a Conan
[01:29.57]Ayo Peter, I'm also a Family Guy
[01:31.74]So please, would you just let me in the house tonight
[01:34.27]I know the night is young and a nigga was still taking baby steps
[01:37.33]Until the light, struck and everything became radiant
[01:39.86]
[01:40.36]So check me in God (check me in, check me in)
[01:42.21]Check me in God

[01:59.58]I'm just pleading for the right, my nigga
[02:02.12]To walk heaven grasses and be alright, my nigga
[02:04.73]Narrow my vessel like a Vascular constrictor
[02:06.48]I'm the agent that was sent from rags to riches
[02:08.99]To rise in pitches, but life's hard
[02:10.87]I could really argue my linguistics of this shit
[02:13.35]Who really are you to judge a man
[02:15.57]Tryna make it in this day and age, G
[02:17.66]Don't expect silver spoons the way I was raised
[02:20.12]Tear ducts dried up, some people walk in the rain
[02:22.28]Others get wet, I show you how to walk with the pain
[02:24.82]Imperfect world, I'm an angel, the same
[02:27.04]Same sin that was on Paul trying to make a name
[02:29.55]Look, now I'm a ghostwriter like I'm Nicolas Cage
[02:31.92]And the enemies and friends I couldn't mention a thing
[02:34.56]I left behind a whole life just to turn a new page
[02:36.91]Now I'm just trying to show you the ways
[02:39.55]
