I Would Never

[Verse 1]

I'm from where true regard for human lives is few and far

And haters'll shoot they shot at you out of a movin' car

We place our wishes of makin' it out on a shootin' star

Be whoever you need to be, just don't forget who you are

I could switch clothes conveniently just to get through the door

And in Flipmode, the scene almost seemingly knew it all

I used to lift loads of spiritual baggage and threw it off

If you made it here by the grace of God, then do your job

Be ever unique as artists

Truth should be easy to mark and seek out and shoot your targеt

That's word to Shaniqwa Jarvis

We rep Howard to Harvard and evеrything in between

Look how a fire was started and destined into a dream

My Rhodes Scholarship started with questionin' who would lead

The messenger could become your profession if you believe

Your future could supersede any history, true indeed

Just remember all the places we seen and what it mean

[Verse 2]

When I done had no time to listen and that old-time religion

Didn't have no competition, my life was long division

Starin' at four corners, I might as well have been born in prison

Within arm's reach of my porch, it was on a sibling

We suffer from preconditions, strugglin' to beat the system

Climbin' to reach the pinnacle only to meet suspicion

Tryna stand on your principles after bein' forbidden

Or go against the invincible algorithm of livin'

When very broke, every day you inhale a heavy smoke

Where heavy hope and searchin' for the truth for every joke

Already woke, standin' arms folded in the scope

Silhouettes and shadows injectin' syringes full of dope

When polices breakin' laws, knockin' hinges off of doors

And the only explanation you've received is just because

We repress it, then express it selectively through the bars

Be whoever you need to be, just don't forget who you are

Listen
