lyrics

Letters From Home:
It's on until the family's fed Homie hold the head up/Move against the mass make it so they don't Forget us/I Heard that it's a Set up/Well this is my arrival and I'm out to fight the rival with a rifle and a relic/You and I been grinding for forever Since everything that they fed us was foul/Came a long way/so many miles/I’m working to make it worth it/nobody perfect I smile/Scratch the surface you gotta know me by now/I Mean/Ain’t a damn thing changed/still at it/Still picking at compositions to fit the friction to static/And I/face the world with a pistol grip on the madness/Managed to take it all across the atlas/But Everybody wanna blow without a fuse to spark/And they been trying to kill the show before my movie movie start/So I Had to Hit the road Just to prove my art/I was trying to grow so we grew apart/But I'm still hoping that you'll follow/I’m still living like I might not see tomorrow/And I'm still trying to give it all I got until I'm hollow or I hit the lotto/So the fam don't have to borrow/There’s solace in the bottom of a bottle with problems in every part of that wobble/I walk it off like it's nothing we seen it all though/So ain't no stopping us/stomping through your metropolis/Moving to make it mine it's for everybody that rock with us/
(Hook)
Verse 2:
Keep the fist up sister we gotta handle this/Travel the storm and still manage to keep the candles lit/Last standing The captain abandon ship/Got us all out here stranded up on a planet of mannequins/But, we were taught to react/And I couldn't shake the feeling I was lost in a trap/Got a team and started building on the fossils of rap/Found my spot in the pack/Had to leave I know I'm awful for that/But How you living/How you Balancing subtraction and addition/And how we building castles while we Grapple with addiction/Hey do the math let's take it Back to the beginning/This is my religion/And these are my credentials/Think about the path the brother getting sentimental/Never meant to last but I never fit the stencil/Now its in my grasp look at everything I been through/Look how I adapt when the rents due/And smash through the venue/And they said I ain't even have potential/How far we gotta fall before they're satisfied/All they ever fed us was a pack of lies/But my little soldier got his daddies eyes/And I'm a show him we can hit the stratus if we strategize/I Know they hate us for the sacrifice/All that I can tell them is I had to try/
(Outro)
And I can smile cause I know myself/I can smile cause I know myself
(Repeat x3)
