Lyrics

V1 Substance810

We don’t live by the heathens rules/
they take kindness for weakness jus cuz we subdued/
on beats, I glide, like the needle do/on vinyl/
this ain’t no recital, I came to speak the truth/
duckin the reeper, seekin jewels/
we then dudes, I’m still playin chess watch the pieces move/
till I pop up on I like peek a boo/used to fiend for shoes/
but I nver had the sneaker blues/rocked every flavor from Easter blue to pickachu/
my destiny was laid out I had to heed the clues/
realized some niggaz ain’t my dawgs, we jus cool/
so I move in and out like the speaker do/
I been here a minute u can see the roots/
pokin out the soil, I been doin what I need to do/

Hook 1 (NuCzn + Substance810)

NuCzn-I’ve been weavin thru this traffic/had some bumps along the way/

Substance810-After the rain falls it always dries up/I can’t make the same mistake I gotta wise up/

NuCzn- Gotta shake the odds up off me/ain’t no standing in my way/

Time heals but pain is costly/I’m throwin dead flowers on ya grave/

V2 Substance810

Funny how u can open a book and find ya self/
deep inside my minds treasure where I mine for wealth/
they tried to help/I guess pride was felt/
found my higher self, lettin my soul rest in Orion’s Belt/
And then the wind spoke/told me stories of my kinfolk/
and whispered “chin up king u been dope”/
righteous but my thoughts sinful/
I’m tryna see the big picture but the lens broke/I’m just ten toes/down

Hook 2 (NuCzn + Substance810)

NuCzn-I’ve been weavin thru this traffic/had some bumps along the way/

Substance810-They start out loyal then the lies come/can’t make the same mistakes I gotta wise up/

NuCzn- Gotta shake the odds up off me/ain’t no standing in my way/

Time heals but pain is costly/I’m throwin dead flowers on ya grave/
