Many Rivers

[Intro]

Many rivers to cross (you ain't got to ask me what I do this for)

But I can't seem to find my way over (I do this for my city)

[Verse 1]

Constantly on the come up, constantly on the come up

But I always get this feeling and it's constantly on my stomach

I learned to always follow my instinct, when you come from where I come from

They try to make a nigga feel like King Kong in the concrete jungle

Damn, cause they don't teach niggas how to deal with anger

Nah, they only teach niggas there ain't nothin' real but danger

Politics will not swing in our favor

Cause all of us are rappers or entertainers

But I still woke up and said, "Young nigga, get it"

Cause this is your life you can choose how you live it

[Hook]

Are we just lost in the city of madness?

Or do the powers that be just lack human compassion?

I don't know...

[Interlude 1]

And they don't want you to speak the truth, man

See when you speak the truth they like to make you feel crazy

But you ain't crazy, don't let them lie to you

Whoever you are, you out there

Keep doing you, man, fuck the haters

Let 'em hate, let 'em hate

[Verse 2]

You only get one life, you know

And this life ain't in my control

When you talk about politics, it's a rod for a lightning bolt

Tell me how do you fight a war when the price is for your soul?

When you gambling with your life, that's a hell of a pair of dice to roll

They say, "Bobby Ray where you went? All you talk about is whips"

I say you can lead a horse to water but you can't make it take a sip

Yeah, everybody got their own two pennies

But what does that mean if it don't make sense?

I see the crowd, their hands up high

But what does that mean? What do they get?

At the end of the day what I get paid and they go home what do they think?

How can we ever be free if policies don't ever change?

[Hook]

[Interlude 2]

You know, sometimes it feels like it's just against the world, man

Who really got our best interests, man?

Don't, don't, don't let 'em take your soul, man

Don't, don't, don't let 'em take your soul, don't take your soul

[Intro]

[Outro]

No Genre

People ask me what No Genre means

You know, I once did a mixtape called No Genre

I didn't realize that no genre man, like no genre really described my career

People started, like, gravitating toward No Genre and, you know, I was like, "Fuck it, let's do a part two"

It really can't be defined by any genre, so

Fuck it man, No Genre
