Contradictions Lyrics

Sitting in the studio

I got this beat from Rubio

Writing down the challenges I faced throughout my life

Spitting crucibles, running up my numerals

Tell me ain't it beautiful, when pain turn into light

Its unusual, they said I was delusional

Homeless on the street but I had known it wasn't suitable

I almost had a funeral

When juveniles get caught up in the system this the usual

Nothing is excusable

My point is irrefutable

Ignorance and hatred taught to us be institutional

You living how they want you to live

Like don't you get it

End up in the hospital your wallet need a medic

Everything's a contradiction

Like

Even when they freed slaves they still put em in a prison

And twenty five percent of us grow up to see it written

Down in our story, while we fighting for glory

Try to get out of the darkness, like sun light in the morning

I would die for my brothers, I ain't sending no warning

Mama's crying for their sons because they buried before them

Listen now it's important

Life's distorted and gorgeous

That's the why our people record it

But they ain't never recording

The things that made us important

Like we some kings that were taken

Let that sizzle no bacon

I left my heart sitting vacant

Until I added up the math and found that I'm the equation

Got a job and worked myself out of a fucked up vacation

Smoking on medication

Rolling by and I'm blazing

They see the car getting cloudy

But in they mind they be hating

Look

Some niggas got it out for me

Spitting out these curses y'all could say I'm doing alchemy

People steady doubting me, talking bout how could he

Prevail throughout the struggle come back stronger saying now you'll see

I let 'em know

They could never stop the path I'm on, is like the road

Cemented into place

My rhymes is written into stone

So when I leave without a trace

I'll still be sitting on the throne

Tripping off patron

I bet my shawty want me home

I'm loyal to my brothers I ain't switching for a bone

Sipping on this pink it got me thinking bout my own

Plans to start a business, triple that from getting loans

Friends turn to enemies

I just think it's jealousy

Crabs in a barrel

I might step on who sit next to me

But, taking everything from everyone ain't what is best for me

I'm taking out my ego, killing pride and now I rest in peace
