Blueprint

[Verse 1] Battles been fought before the day I was born Mom and pops was cross the seas and they was scavenger poor But they had a pot to eat with one channel on the television Still showed their teeth smiling at the simple things in life 'cause it's free Only one pair of shoes for like 52 weeks One bed for like five heads, the whole family Still found a way to dream big With so much gravity, can't no struggle hold 'em down It help them burn calories Wa Gwan, wats di scene That's yard talk A goat tied to a tree Bunch of dogs run loose just to visualize my roots And that flower still bloomed Shot for stars and they landed on the moon, uh [Chorus] That blueprint laid out the new land Had to think outside the box Had to try a new lens, had to fix within Yeah, something like a new dent Life can get tint, grab the wheel That's how them corners get bent, uh That blueprint laid out the new land Had to think outside the box Had to try a new lens, had to fix within Yeah, something like a new dent Life can get tint, grab the wheel That's how them corners get bent, uh [Verse 2] Press play for the renegades Stuck inside my ways We don't follow unless there's gold being paved Never been a slave, broke out the chains Just to change niggas in a daze We was trying to make it out the game Had to switch lanes 'til I figured how to pave the lane Had to make way, Flatbush ain't giving niggas plays And the rest is fake Gotta guard your energy, no shame We was in the maze Homies figured how to make it shake Most niggas flake when they know it's business being made Gotta watch who you follow when the people who you save Be the homies that you love that be quick to change their ways We was just being brothers, now we never been the same That's a shame, put your family over dollars in this game If you chasing only paper then your homies gon' feel played Figured out how to prosper and make everyone feel saved Or you end up losing people who was with you through the days [Chorus] That blueprint laid out the new land Had to think outside the box Had to try a new lens, had to fix within Yeah, something like a new dent Life can get tint, grab the wheel That's how them corners get bent, uh That blueprint laid out the new land Had to think outside the box Had to try a new lens, had to fix within Yeah, something like a new dent Life can get tint, grab the wheel That's how them corners get bent, uh
