Conversation wit meh bredda dem
I always link up wit di elder dem
And watch how dem move, how dem talk
The mistakes and the bad-mind that circle dem
They tell meh "take yuh time and watch dem"
You know? Yeah
So I take meh time and watch dem, doh
You know?
Doh fall into that trap wit friends
Yeah, dem bwoy is not yuh soldier dem
See, nuff ah dem go carry yuh and nah look to bring yuh back
And leave yuh stuck wit dem
So take yuh time and watch dem
You know? Yeah
They tell me take yuh time and watch dem, Doh
See di fassy dem go
Wah yuh do good but not
Better than them
And as
Fast as yuh succeed, dem wah lick off yuh head
Dem heart
Pump out jealousy, only study themselves
So when dey see yuh when yuh pumping in yuh Benz
Remember, take yuh time and watch dem
You know?
So meh take meh time and watch dem
Doh
To me, music is, what I've been put here to do
Art on the whole, right
And
I feel like if I don't give my gift it's true
I don't give back all that I could to it
It will be lost
That's why I feel that sometimes
I don't feel the creative juice will ever flow out
Leave me
Simply because I follow what comes to me
You know? And that's what I put back out, you know
And
If people realize that we need to aim for real standards
And, you know, say something
I mean, alongside the very lighthearted kinda songs
Then this is how the music will go forward
But if you just deal with one aspect of it
It just travels in that short space and eases out
And disappears, and people looking for something else again
It's like throwaway music
I ain't gotta jam glocks to get my thoughts across
And I ain't gotta over stunt for you to see that I floss
A lot of talk bout who the best, I feel like something's off
Cause these the same niggas self snitching like there's nothing wrong
Caught up in the views and likes for the lie
For a nigga that live on live, you not so live
For a nigga with ski like ice, you not so fly
Some'll sell their whole soul for a slice of the pie
To break the code I speak profound in the face of dishonesty
Sincere flows to those that don't got the belly to stomach me
The Quran my daily read while I stunt in this Jesus piece
Running through allegories with a Sufi's mentality
Some days I feel like I'm chosen, some days I'm chosen for grief
But at least, I know that whatever happens was meant to be
Don't compare to me niggas, I'm beyond all the lists
And these fake accolades with meanings that don't exist
You zimmie?
Yeah, yuh zimmie?
Yeah
That's what my nigga Kay would say, you know?
Conversations wit mi bredda dem
You know?
Yeah, I always link up wit di elder dem
You know?
