Subject Matters

Yo, oh, oh

[Verse 1]

If it's meant to be it will be

We try so hard to keep em, forcing situations

What's the outcome if the income is of value?

Does your morals and your values

Suggest you have no right to an opinion?

Your position that you're in, does it determine

How your life will pan out?

Running a mile in these shoes for you to compete

I stand out

Would it be necessary?

Military's covering my doubt

I'm giving orders and there be no need to say "Roger that"

You should already know I got the city all on my back

And I be in the studio all day recording them tracks

To master my craft of learning my art

'Cause everything I say is coming straight from the heart

I'm the type to bring it together, not tear it apart

By the grace of God they'll see I just say inshallah

My words are just my thoughts

I'm just speaking my mind in these lines

And if you can relate, it's up to you to decide

But choose right!

And I say

[Interlude]

So

How do you, as a person, as an individual in fact

Distinguish yourself from others?

Like what makes you unique?

Do you just follow the crowd, believe everything that's told to you?

Or are you strong minded in the sense where you pay no attention to what people think about you?

(Yuh, yuh)

'Cause these things count you know, these things count

[Verse 2]

We come from a land where information is elsewhere

We don't need to know

We don't need to know?

Well that's BS!

They just want us all to play the game like a DS

Trying to insert lies up in my brain, pressing eject

Do I have the power to do so?

Just like a shotta that has the power to move o's, is it easy enough?

Well I don't think it's easy at all

Would you rather have a screw loose

Or just be used as a tool?

And until you think about what you would rather be

I'ma keep spreading my message till it's overseas

Trying to educate the people that listen to me

'Cause if you're not learning at school then listen to me

Yo I ain't trying to say I know everything

'Cause nobody can know everything

Just take me in small doses like you have medicine

And I can guarantee that you will feel better when

You listen to this

[Interlude]

So, in continuation from my previous question

Which I hope you've at least thought about

I'm not expecting you to give me an answer, don't worry

But!

If you can work out that

Do you don't think you can work out your purpose of being here

In terms of your life?

I don't even know if I can

It's just a question I'm throwing out there

For you to think about

(Listen!)

Who knows you might work it out, who knows

[Verse 3]

Look, understand you're worth more than gold

Never put a price on my soul, it can't be sold

Tryna put some ice on your chain but it's getting old

You can never try to complain, this is what you chose

It's one thing tryna put on for your fam

To doing nothing but tryna please your fans

To getting calls from friends you've never had

Shit like this could really turn anyone mad

But I ain't anyone, or better than anyone

I'm just tryna make music till it's heard by everyone

See you're shocked or just very stunned

By the way I kill flows and then bury 'em

It's that new God flow but no Mary's son

I know that my God knows I'm the chosen one

See, we laughing now at these slums

But they still laugh about where we from

Please correct me now if I'm wrong

[Interlude]

Man, got a lot to say?

Well it's like fuck what you know

Listen to the song, man

Trying to make a stamp in the industry

But it's getting kinda long, man

Plus these people saying

"Why you come here, go back to where you belong"

But home is the heart, where I'm from

And there it goes

[Outro]

Alright guys, that's class done for today

Please if you can

Quickly and quietly put your books on the top shelf

And any pens you've borrowed in the basket

I'm sorry if today was a bit deep

I promise next lesson won't be as deep

We will have a bit of fun

And uh, yeah, that's it you're free to go

(Ay, don't do that, put that back)

(Put that back... Good)
