Blueprint

[Verse 1]

Battles been fought before the day I was born

Mom and pops was cross the seas and they was scavenger poor

But they had a pot to eat with one channel on the television

Still showed their teeth smiling at the simple things in life 'cause it's free

Only one pair of shoes for like 52 weeks

One bed for like five heads, the whole family

Still found a way to dream big

With so much gravity, can't no struggle hold 'em down

It help them burn calories

Wa Gwan, wats di scene

That's yard talk

A goat tied to a tree

Bunch of dogs run loose just to visualize my roots

And that flower still bloomed

Shot for stars and they landed on the moon, uh

[Chorus]

That blueprint laid out the new land

Had to think outside the box

Had to try a new lens, had to fix within

Yeah, something like a new dent

Life can get tint, grab the wheel

That's how them corners get bent, uh

That blueprint laid out the new land

Had to think outside the box

Had to try a new lens, had to fix within

Yeah, something like a new dent

Life can get tint, grab the wheel

That's how them corners get bent, uh

[Verse 2]

Press play for the renegades

Stuck inside my ways

We don't follow unless there's gold being paved

Never been a slave, broke out the chains

Just to change niggas in a daze

We was trying to make it out the game

Had to switch lanes 'til I figured how to pave the lane

Had to make way, Flatbush ain't giving niggas plays

And the rest is fake

Gotta guard your energy, no shame

We was in the maze

Homies figured how to make it shake

Most niggas flake when they know it's business being made

Gotta watch who you follow when the people who you save

Be the homies that you love that be quick to change their ways

We was just being brothers, now we never been the same

That's a shame, put your family over dollars in this game

If you chasing only paper then your homies gon' feel played

Figured out how to prosper and make everyone feel saved

Or you end up losing people who was with you through the days

[Chorus]

That blueprint laid out the new land

Had to think outside the box

Had to try a new lens, had to fix within

Yeah, something like a new dent

Life can get tint, grab the wheel

That's how them corners get bent, uh

That blueprint laid out the new land

Had to think outside the box

Had to try a new lens, had to fix within

Yeah, something like a new dent

Life can get tint, grab the wheel

That's how them corners get bent, uh
