[00:10.30] He will be successful
[00:12.30]
[00:13.14] I gotta know, I gotta know
[00:15.21] If the goals I set for me is possible, yeah
[00:18.26] I gotta know, I gotta know
[00:21.38] If I plant this seed, will a flower grow? Yeah

[00:35.81] Look, quiet wars, I was training young
[00:37.85] Could turn any beat to a canvas, nigga, I paint with blood
[00:40.57] Play it smooth, you gotta understand it’s about the way you duck
[00:43.64] Trained moves could make a nigga bleed out from a paper cut
[00:46.36] Let’s tell a story 'bout weapons that they made while we slept
[00:49.23] You can’t hear it cock, so ain’t no escaping this death
[00:52.24] Life don’t owe you shit, but still gotta pay ya respect
[00:55.11] The wage of sin left him in debt, so karma, it came to collect
[00:57.99] Pain and murder, it turned me to a trained observer
[01:01.27] The boss don’t leave with dirty hands, I watched them pay the workers
[01:04.02] They crept and lurked, it’s over if they catch ya first

[01:20.65] I eloped in this thing called rap 'cause my skills merit
[01:23.57] Hoping that them nights I chose work don’t kill my marriage
[01:26.66] I don’t think y’all understand being broke and you feel embarrassed
[01:29.57] Or what it’s like to have nothing, but still share it
[01:32.68] It’s like when the pressure raise
[01:34.15] That’s when I tend to meditate
[01:35.40] Open arms to what life throws at me, tryna catch a break
[01:38.39] They wanna see how it ends for me, I’m giving cliffhangers
[01:41.91] I don’t give strangers what I gift neighbors, nigga
