Rap 144 (T.O.C) Lyrics

Alright, yo, okay, ay, yo, yo

Okay, who knew that you could monetize crazy?

I've been blowing through all of my savings

Storing my energy, compressing my cravings

Okay, people been asking what have you done lately

I don't have much to show except for union with what made me

In these modern times, I depict just would a saint be

Yet still they try to tear me down, can't even hear them faintly

My slide is always blue, why do people keep trying to paint me?

They say that they want Ben more, they can try but they just ain't me

If it's not priority, I'm schedule rearranging

And I know there's only one truth, so I hope that we can see the same thing

I'm aiming, coming for the top, no need for naming

In my life I spoke the truth and all they did was shame me

But now I'm grown and on my own so they cannot restrain me

I show all of my shine for you and I without refraining

Ok, who knew, who knew that you could monetize crazy?

I've been all in my mind as of lately

Explaining what I know, how many times would it take me

That's why the petty tasks Im assigned all tend to frustrate me

Make me do something they have tried and cannot make me

I'm sorry, what's your name? At this time it seems to escape me

Shake so many hands, it's been happening so much lately

They've all been trying to dap me up in line, they've all been waiting

Yeah, you know, that's what this life's about

This life's about connection, so

If y'all got love to share, I got love to to take in

Ayo nothing's gonna change unless you make it happen

Okay, nothing's gonna change unless you make it happen

Okay, everyone say that they really want it but don't put in work

I devote my energy, watch it come back to me reverse

Pay me for a verse, yo, I know just what it's worth

Please don't undermine my expertise, I swear that that just is the worst

Every verse I'm spitting, man, it's written like I was at church

Please support the channel, follow me and buy your mom some merch

Every time you do is the less that mine works

So make a purch, but it's all good when your shit drops, I'll be the one to buy it first

Communism's necessary lest we wanna die of thirst

I don't mean me, you know, like the entire population

We need to figure out some systematic distribution

And actually find a plan B for all of this pollution

I hear you spitting problems but void of any solutions

It's not the time for dilly-dally, it's time for execution

You don't do shii, what's your contributii

Man, I follow Christ, you're still I'm believing in evolution

Please don't get entitled with one just cause you're a Lutheran

God's not gonna condemn four billion cause they don't use him

Yo, God helps you now, yo, Jesus helps you now

It's not their fault they were taught something different when they were a child

Yo, spit it out loud in front of the crowd, yo Jesus is king

If you can get down, your life will improve, now how does that sound?

Life goes in circles like Merry -go-round

And I look in the future you've already found

A life that is so dope worth staying around

The people that hate are just playing around

They can't see the shine that lies under the sound

Lift in the air straight up off of the ground, I called it abundance it came in abound

If finding yourself, yet not feeling so found, recommend spending time when there's no one around

My voice has been traveling over the town

Say what you want, you're not bringing 'em down

Graduated my past with no cap and no gown and if all has been written already I'm crowned

Bitch

Already I'm crowned

Ayo, y'all still with me

Ayo we just getting started

Ayo, if there's one thing in this life that I've learned

One thing in this life that I've learned, man

Is people ask and people tell

People know we will prevail

Yo, buy a pint, put it on a scale

When we work together is when we will never fail

Why you gotta bail? Where you gotta go

What's more important than spending time up up with your bros?

So here we are alone, two people that are grown

Yo, reach out, I could touch you, not just hitting you on my phone

Yo I'm nervous as shit while she looking calm

Yo not sure she gets just where I'm coming from

Or where I wanna go, or what I wanna do

Yo, not sure who I am now, but I sure am into you

Think it's time I make my move, turn so I can see all sides of you

Okay, staring in your eyes, I could be staring at the moon

Yo, she doesn't catch my vibe, but I think that she'll catch it soon

Okay, scoot a little closer, there's a sudden shift of mood

Yo, I hope you know that you light up the room

And if anyone says anything different, then just say screw 'em

And if they keep on talking, you'll reach out to me

Yo, they wouldn't need to talk if they weren't filled with jealousy

Yo, so back to the question of you and me

If you wanna see where this energy can lead

I'll devote my effort effortlessly, make you so happy purposefully

The whole world is out there for us to seize

When releasing music this much degrees

I need a girl that'll stand next to me, who never gon' fight over custody

You could be Hailey to Justin B, I unlock the door and adjust the seat

You just hop in with so much beauty, with so little time and so much to see

We head down the coast and leave the city, she sparks dainca or vasativ

Whatever it is Heaven's just achieved

Heaven is just achieved

Yo, picture that

Me and my girl, southbound on the 1

Just driving into a sunset

Yo, ay, what's next

Yo, ay, perplexed

Yo, ay, best dressed

Yo, ay, out west

This is our time

I'm not needin' no rest, I'm fine

Just drink a cup of coffee

Yo, I just need to work more

Navigate energetic waves when I'm on my way

Pull up on my surfboard

I don't know what hurts more

That you didn't want me or that we didn't work out

And now I don't know what to search for

You were first when it came to connection

You were a king when it came to teaching lessons

And we still cool and kick it for that count my blessings (thank God)

But if you listen, I want you to hear this message yuh yuh

I don't think of you no more

When I do, I can't seem to move forward

Can't do anything, just lying on my floor

My heart was shut down, yeah, I had you in my core

So I made a move

Was not the groove

Okay, cause you're a HEY

What's there to lose?

If I pick all

Don't have to choose

Can tell your friends

I'll make the evening news

But still, that's no excuse

For you to be a douche

But won't you take a chance

You know I got the juice

You smell like nature valley

And your skin is lookin' smooth

Yo, I only want you now if right now we will find the truth

Yo, you know there's nothing in this life that

I would shut down my heart rather than steer into

You know, so the only advice I got is if it calls you embrace it

You know things were up in the air for a bit, you know

But I'm getting more grounded as I'm moving forward

You know, learning each day

Ready to take on the challenges that I'm presented with

Okay, tell me what it takes to be grounded?

I meditate, take a shower, smoke some trees then I found it

But tell me, what does it take to be found?

Are you comfortable when no one is around?

Yo, okay, I can't stress enough this is my world

Don't participate, just watch it all unfurl

Would you rather write some verses spend some time out with some girls?

Cause where you spend your energy decides how far you'll go

Yo, I'm sorry if you came in for the show

I'd appreciate if y'all had any dollars you could throw

Know, so I could fill my gas

Maybe cover the bridge toll

Yo, the universe will guide you when you speak out from your soul

Young and chipper, but I speak it like I'm old

Think it's time that we all take control

Consider that last time that I actually did what I was told

Not just to be defiant

And don't think that it's cool to be bold

But if handed assignment

Told to sit down, I might fucking explode

What I learned from school is I learned more when didn't go

How you raised inside the suburbs yet develop such a urban flow

Just learn from what I've listened, meditate and light the herb and go

Impressed at what you've heard but there's unspeakableamernasho

Comfortable about longevity unsure about my vertical

Distance from hypotheticals don't say things like if were to blow

I'm happy and know God and for some reason ever were to go

Just make sure that you publish everything inside my journal

Cause what's inside those pages yo, it's not for me, it's for the world

She bout to eat this D yet still talking as if it's girl to girl

But I know that it's girl to guy

Look for hope up in the skies

Yo, every time I spit more truth one consciousness will multiply

Appreciate you listening to the music my soul provides

22 unsure how it can be more clear that I am old and wise

I spit that 16 for a price, eat that tofu over rice

Was 18 incapable of being big bro'd by older guys

I'm sorry if your feelings were hurt don't have time for shoulder cries

Did you hear this cadence and think that it developed overnight?

I wasn't being so polite, but my flow is so precise

Everything that's happeneds from my heart I'll cross a hope to die

I'ma keep on flowing course if it's okay and y'all don't mind

Everything rhymes with everything right here in this space'n in time

God will show me how to shine

Everything I do is for hyme

Jesus brought me back from blind

Now everything I see's a sign

That's almost all that's on my mind

All my focus is divine

I'm sorry guys, that's all my time

The beat's been bodied the beat's resigned

What do I say in these last lines?

Know yourself, it will be fine

Just trust the process, trust the grind

Follow your gut and joy you'll find

Just follow what you're chasing don't bother waiting in any lines

Cause no one's gonna give you permission to follow what's inside

You're gonna need to take it and you're gonna need to be denied

But there's nothing like the feeling of living a liberated life

It's your time

And so you own it

Yo your body is your soul's only opponent

There's not a single person on earth doesn't know it

That if you want truth, love is the only component yo ay

It's your time (It's your time)

And so you own it (so you own it)

Yo your body is your soul's only opponent (Only opponent)

There's not a single person on earth doesn't know it

That if you want truth, love is the only component
