Ruff Sketches

I never could've made it without the prayers of others

I never could've made it without the care of my mother

Never could've made it without my grandma Dorothy Flowers

Who read me from the "Book of Psalms" before she tucked me in the covers

She looked me in my eyes and she cried as she made the point

Trials, they purify but they take you to your brеaking point

The swift is the swift but this race is a long onе

Just keep your eyes on the sparrow, you'll be good in the long run

Now I'm rolling out the carpet for the Christ on the throne coming

This ain't "Watch the Throne", this is more like "Watch the Homecoming"

No diss to Yeezy but I promised to my momma, I'm going Dalai with the Lama if I ever make it on the TV

I emerged from the darkness like Jesus out of the tomb

My skin clothing sin like Jesus out of the womb

It took years, months and days for this wildflower to bloom

My cocoon was a mix of light and dark like either sides of the moon

40 days and 40 nights like Musa and Harun

They tried to write me off like the Little Planet platoon but it only take 8 mins and 21 seconds for sunlight to consume

Now I'm basking in the light of all of those who came before me

And Alhamdulillah means "To God be the glory"

The Lord is my shepherd, my rock and my salvation

It's just me, my universal flag and my Aziatic Nation

Bars nigga, bars nigga, bars nigga, bars

There ain't no other click can spit their spittle next to ours

In the stone, I found the answer: earth wind and fire

For this project, I dropped the Electronica, and we merged both the J's and put a "C" after the "Y" so that the "Z" stands for Czars
