Life Goes on (feat. A'leighsha)
The Good brother, Dr Cornel West, he said to me
I should never worry about being accepted anywhere
Because I walk with greatness
Something like that, stuck out to me
So in the creation of this whole project, you get me
I just tried to keep that in mind
Alhumduallah
Rest in power Mac Miller, an amazing entertainer
It's all love even if our last words wasn't the greatest
The last photos I got hesitant to post
Cause I aint wanna come off disingenuous or boast
Yeah not everythings for everybody to know, you know
Not every place, everybody can go, and so
Uh we traveled separate roads
I drive past blue slide park, your name still echo
Who the unpopular, scholar talking that murda business
Already perfected rap, just working on my fitness
My personal statistics got me worth all of these digits
Collecting my dues with interest, you know what you missing
Yeah, the streets bleeding, my feet beating the pave
Seen a toddler getting killed, my heart filled up with rage
I marched with moms and they kids, black power fist raised
No excuse why my friends been in the grave
Longer than above it
God made man and man made hate
So what is it about you that won't let me be great
We all got the same 24 in a day
But what I do with mine is the reason I'm great
Cause life goes on
(Life, life, life, life, life)
I had a dream about my father that woke me up and made me write
At my moms janaza, we tried to make it right
Spoke for few nights, invited him over for a bite
But he never came and that was that, I just hope that he alright, yeah
All my life, I had penchant to ruin shit
Large up man like Jasiri for talking me into doing this
I wanted a deal, I got it and couldn't deal with it
People come up asking about rapping, and if I'm still with it
Damn, you know that makes me wanna kill niggas
Opportunity knocked but I closed the door
Sometimes, God gon give you everything you hoping for
Just to let you know, that when it rains, its supposed to poor
Flew around the world to teach equity in education
Just to be met by white supremacy and hatred
Trying to market the fight seem kinda foul, human
But some people value value over values...
(Yeah, some people value value over values)
God made man and man made hate
So what is it about you that won't let me be great
We all got the same 24 in a day
But what I do with mine is the reason I'm great
Cause life goes on
(Life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life, life)
They killed Dr. Sebi he was teaching health
They killed Nipsey Hussle he was teaching wealth
Getting killed for who we are, how I'ma be myself
I Turn to Allah when I need some help
Took 10 years off to catch up to the style
You couldn't fuck with me then, how you gon fuck with me now
How you gon fuck with me now
I might never rap again, you still aint touching my style
