Chosen

[Intro]

We don't have to worry, we're the chosen ones

[Verse 1: A$AP Ferg, A$AP Ferg & Mary J. Blige]

Stunted my growth, I ain't wanna let Harlem down

But now I'm running to the light, I'm evolving now

Couple niggas that used to mob is not around

I don't need yours, so l'm never laying my problems down

The voice of God come through the pen as I jot it down

Same niggas who had it before, they ain't got it now

Couple idols was balling, but falling out of bounds

Hating niggas like loose change, they out of pocket now

Even some family treat me like a target now

Stop chasing profit now, I'm talking like a prophet now

I don't give a fuck about the gossip now

Nobody is operating off of logic now

I'm empathic, your energy, I'm dodging now

I'd rather be in Miami getting massages now

Nowadays, a lot of shit don't interest me

A Grammy cool, but I love it when they Pinterest me

I found heaven on earth walking through misery

I'm a vessel for the truth, no sensory

From now on, my meetings is on a boat

I ain't wear no shirt for a week, wiggling toes

Bump Diana Ross while we spilling the rose

Driver for the Rolls and rocking designer clothes

High off life, we overdosed

Live in real life, we ain't worried 'bout a post

T-Ferg ain't never carried the toast

We protected 'cause we the ones chose

We protected 'cause we the ones chose

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

We don't have to worry (We don't have to worry, we're the chosen ones)

[Verse 2: A$AP Ferg]

Everything is mathematics and science

Maybe that explains the gravity I'm defying

They couldn't get used to this pressure that I'm applying

Most niggas just hop on songs and start lying

I got historical facts in these raps

This verse should be up in the Vatican, in the golden cabinet

I flow like l've been here before, I'm time traveling

I start the wave up, and y'all just catch a splash paddling

I was born talented, daddy took me shopping with Puff

I wasn't rapping then, I was barely tapping in

Pops in my grandma kitchen scribble-scrabbling

Turned out to be a Bad Boy logo on the napkin

Let you know how far you could go, when you passionate

Everywhere I got in life, I had to first imagine it

Couldn't play the corner, mama wasn't having it

I printed and hustled shirts I got from the Africans

Wholesale, never knew I'll blow with the vocals

Always thought rappers was corny, I didn't know well

Till I seen how Ye did it and plus Pharrell

Shopping in SoHo, it used to be at Modell's

Love it when she a lil' ghetto and a model

Chanel from Procell and French tip toenails

Glowed up in the Range like a Opel

Buying out properties, l'm looking at a hotel

[Chorus: Mary J. Blige]

Yeah

We don't have to worry, we're the chosen ones (We don't have to worry, we're the chosen ones)

We're the chosen ones, we're the chosen

We are, oh, oh, oh (We don't have to worry, we're the chosen ones)

We don't have to worry, have to worry

We're the chosen, we're the chosen ones

We

[Outro]

(Lord, give me answers)

(Lord, will you show me the way?)

(Lord, give me answers)

Darold, I'm so proud of the man that you have become (Lord, will you show me the way?)

In my heart and mind, I always knew you were special (Lord, give me answers, Lord, will you show me the way?)

You're wonderful, intelligent, thoughtful, creative, talented, and successful (Lord, give me answers, Lord, will you show me the way?)

I think about all of the milestones you've reached over the years and goals that you still aim to reach (Lord, give me answers)

All I wanna say is, continue to reach for the stars and move forward, my son

Achieve all that your heart desires in life

Love you, Mom
