Life Sentence

[Chorus]

Streams roll into the ocean

Rivers roll into the sea

If I can't sing my life one of y'all might got to come and bury me

Streams roll into the ocean

Rivers roll into the sea

If I can't sing my life one of y'all might got to come and bury me

[Verse 1]

Oh yeah, the flow here is so real

Won't hear me so bare and vocals nowhere

No hood up or robe, post golden years

My most sincere quotes I unload 'em here

Your local hero don't compare

No, yeah, don't you dare hold a mirror to me

That's no fair

You ain't gotta do your poker stare over here

Honestly don't care what cards you holdin' there

Most my heroes don't even compete with me

I'm on my own kinda sucker free frequency

I got a IQ I refuse to speak beneath

And to lie to you would only cheapen me

Seem to me most these dudes are car poolin'

One of y'all do somethin' new and then you all do it

Havin' deja vu

They enjoy something Jay-Z do, then either sample it or say it too

I guess we wasn't taught the same rules

I was brought up bitin' is a sin you gotta pay your dues

That's for underground and mainstream too

The blame's on you bitches, shame on you

[Chorus]

Streams roll into the ocean

Rivers roll into the sea

If I can't sing my life one of y'all might got to come and bury me

Streams roll into the ocean

Rivers roll into the sea

If I can't sing my life one of y'all might got to come and bury me

[Verse 2]

I should only have to tell y'all once

Only come back just to prove it to ya

Never had to (punch) through my track misconfused

On my particular brand of truth is undisputed

It's a fact - stupid people dig stupid ass music and that

Labels suit seven out of ten humans

Huntin' cats in the underground movement

I do exactly what I wanna do and I'm building one room at a time

Damn the blueprint and I'm

Doing just fine in my own mind

Trying to be one of the greatest of all time

If you ain't doin that you wasting your time

I shake the floorboards til the foundation whine

You know nothing bout what it takes to shine

Do an about face and holler out "peace, goodbye!"

I'm a star in the evening sky

Got the sun in my hand and the fire in my eye, Lord!

[Chorus]

Streams roll into the ocean

Rivers run into the sea

If I can't sing my life one of y'all might got to come and bury me

Streams roll into the ocean

Rivers run into the sea

If I can't sing my life one of y'all might got to come and bury me
