Pattern Up.

I'm constantly going hard The wrong company say "Let's operate something" That's obviously a loss Stand on business, use CIPC forms and started writing this song I can't even the odds, I can't believe they ain't eating They camps leasing they cars Casually cappin' hard Fantasy in they songs 'Cause I sign deals I'm actually really on Fans know lyrics and casually sing along, Thank God Remember doing shows where nobody even saw At least I had my homies who would always come along Then leave with your lady, I'm the one she cuming on Listen, send me naked pictures when she used to have a Samsung Call me with the landline but frontin' when her dad comes Home my best performance in the streets, you'd swear I'm Platinum Killers in recordings, you ain't have guns My bitch bad like load shedding times How it came back at 4 just to go away at 5 I had cops at the door, I was still in grade 9 Retrenchin' court forms, told my mom I.L.Y Nothin' is stopping me since then Glad I never got sentenced in the end Put a couple dots between all your homies, you heard of friends? And your girl doesn't really know how to dress Down bad since the time Lisa passed I just got mad the same day Zipho passed I was on my last, I got told Khanya passed Couldn't leave home that semester, I ain't passed COVID-19, y'all was home with a mask Essential worker, retail on my ass Cut my dreads off, dyed my hair for a laugh All of that with me was tryna shed away my past Fast forward, ones I called my brother never last Had to make change like the furniture was bad Now my new space is four walls and a plan Never had a roof, there's no limit where I stand Master P, I don't push it All we knew from jump was poverty and go through it Hear it in old music Social slow music and the dance songs revolution in those movements Fuck apartheid, no change is more fluent Systems obvious, I was learnin' Afrikaans, missing the obvious How I buy a crib, pay taxes or follow up And how these record labels always end up on top of us? Sway, I knew you had the answers Black people gotta feed themselves in the matter Some get on top, celebrate and break the ladder Seen folks blow up and disappear the year after This piano carving me a lane With no log drum disregarded for the bass Hip Hop songs or you'll start up with your name Alkaline waters high tides either way Water's too deep but the options ain't the same Love to see black people win every day I only speak up when you choose to do the same They said rap's dead but I hardly seen the grave I got love for- but clearly it ain't the same No good comes from looking down on your mates Calls about working then unfollow my page We should share Wordz, we already share a stage Positivity and all my people pouring into me That is all a nigga needs Did a couple things, I'm glad the higher ups forgiven me Converting to- is a journey that has been in me I listen to FLVME because the bitches do She listen to Marcus to get in the mood I might sample God and make an interlude I been through the hardest shit to get into I know that I'm way beyond my physical I will never tell no one your business 'Cause if we got an issue you can hit me up and fix things But after many chances I can never show forgiveness I'm tired of back and forths, you should be tired of playing victim Not surprised the industry ain't welcoming me with hugs I'm in every room being myself and where I'm from Always show my heart but I can't show enough of trust People always social climbing people they don't love Opportunity requires discipline and faith Bending back and bending rules and staying in my lane Friends ask me how I got accustomed to this fame I didn't, I just do the job and get paid I just do the job and I get paid Me, I made the change but I stayed the same, stay the same I just do the job and I get paid Me I made the change but I stayed the same I can't say the same for you niggas Might cop a new Range on you niggas I can't say the same for you niggas Same for you niggas And I would not change for you niggas (I would not change a damn thing) Might cop a new Range on you niggas (haha)
