Yeah...
Listen...
Listen...
Like I said, these rappers talkin' 'bout changin' the game
But the more that I listen, the more it sounds the same
There's a real part to hip-hop that can't be taken away
So if you're really down to do it, be the things that you say
'Cuz if you're schemin' just for money in the hip and the hop
You'll end just right where you started with the thicker of plots
Makin' stacks by fakin' jax was never the way to do it
And if that was your plan, I suggest you don't pursue it
The media we see is straight affecting our minds
Changing lifestyles, with society not far behind
We face delusions of the need to get into an overall state
And they get messed up in the process of tryin' to relate
The scheme to the cream just lowers your self-esteem
Let your mind make decisions, not the TV screen
Individuality's priceless like ambition in veins
So I'mma keep on doing me and nothing will ever change
You have my (word, word...)
Yeah, you have my word
One step at a time as this cold world turns
You have my word
Yeah, that's my word
With hours being killed and seconds gettin' burned
You have my...
The way that I see it, the only way to respect
Is a healthy mix of grit with a bit of intellect
Not the swag and the wealth, and not doggin' your health
And if you ever thought that, then get a hold of yourself
You may see it in front of you, but it still don't matter then
Because it's all in the mind like an imaginary friend
Give your thoughts a home; never let 'em get fostered
Or sent off, 'cuz ridding human conscience is preposterous
Peer pressure's always following us
But I'll never stand as a victim, though
I'll forever stay grindin' tryna convert all of my ash to dust
Workin' for the greater good of the whole wide world
And it's change that I'm wanting to see
But if I want to see change, then the change I must be
So don't be surprised when I'm tryin' to jump obstacles
Doin' 'Mission Impossible' with probable props to pull
That's my (word, word...)
Yeah, you have my word
One step at a time as this cold world turns
You have my word
Yeah, that's my word
With hours being killed and seconds gettin' burned
You have my...
Some say I'm fake, but everything I say is true
I think you should get open like Folarin manipulated you
Open your ears, open your eyes, open your mind
And open your heart to look at the pictures full-time
Some listeners won't bother 'cuz I don't sound like the others
But I won't transform myself to keep a whole audience covered
I am who I am, and I will never regret
So now it's time to make your move 'cuz my foundation is set
That's my word.
Yeah, you have my word
One step at a time as this cold world turns
You have my word
Yeah, that's my word
With hours being killed and seconds gettin' burned
You have my...
Yeah, you have my word
One step at a time as this cold world turns
You have my word
Yeah, that's my word
With hours being killed and seconds gettin' burned
You have my...
Yeah, you have my word
One step at a time as this cold world turns
You have my (word, word...)
