Poetry

[Intro: Interviewer & T.I.]

When in the country, T.I.'s lookin' forward to

Listenin' to what South Africans musicians have to offer

You worked with some of the biggest names in the business

What do you look for in that artist?

Individuality

I look for them to be themselves

[Chorus]

To pay the price of life, tryna get what I think is owed to me

For that price there are no receipts

But I do so, so boderly

The story of how I came up and what I grow to be, is poetry

Yeah

I pray we don't go stackin' up on anymore condolences

Pray for all the souls at seas

Shadin' on the stolen trees

Everybody showin' cheese

And we all rockin' gold, it's hard to tell who got the golden key

I hope that they know it's me

[Verse]

Ain't no holdin' me back, ain't no holdin' me down

Ain't nothin' else to do but to knee since they stomped my feet now

To all my dawgs that came from nothin, up here livin' sweet now

Let that be wild, we never have to close our eyes to see God

Kiss your mom and thank God

Say my momma "You okay now"

RIP to Ivy, I'ma rep like it's my day job

Somehow you taught me not to keep my face down

Cryin' about what I ain't got and look at what I done made now

Yeah

[Chorus]

To pay the price of life, tryna get what I think is owed to me

For that price there are no receipts

But I do so, so boderly

The tale of how I came up and what I grow to be, is poetry

Ooh, ooh-ooh

I pray we don't go stackin' up on anymore condolences

Pray for all the souls in seas

Shadin' on the stolen trees

Everybody showin' cheese

And we all rockin' gold, it's hard to tell who got the golden key

I hope that they know it's me
