Manifest Destiny Lyrics

At times I wondered if this shit was really meant for me

I gotta be above it, manifest my destiny

That's right

Check the approach as I'm overlooking the coast

The ocean is so provoking, it's got me doing the most

Reflecting about the times, my mind, it wasn't right

In time, I realized that the grind was misaligned

Signed out all the hype and ignited it back again

Gave myself permission to open up my sins

And so the story begins about the glorious kid who never followed the trends

But dreamt of making it Big

Notorious with the pen

Euphoric and overspent

Forming and brainstorming the commentary of men,

Solitary amends, through the thick and the thin

Being honorary is scary, it loses so many friends, Damn,

At times I wondered if this shit was really meant for me

I gotta be above it, manifest my destiny

Check out the melody, killing it like a Kennedy

Feeling it like the fella from Rocafella, you know it's me

RBJ, call me the king of poetry

As they say, you never know what you're gonna be

Me, I'ma make one thing clear, I never need to get theirs

See, I have mine right here, for real

That's just the essence of making music with real messages

I'm just a vessel from all the spirits that left a testament

Brown excellence never settled for less of it

Sentimental and prevalent till I'm dead in the sediment

Dying to be present in any shape and form

These brainstorms transform my mood and then I'm gone

I know I'm prone to prolonged escapes

I pray to right these wrongs and save face, I do

I'm subdued, but maybe it's in my nature

Life is a great adventure, but I just prefer to venture

In streams of thoughts in the valleys of the conscious

At times it can get dark and the challenges are constant

But when I'm lost, I get guided by the lights

They realign my path when I'm stuck in flight or fight mode

My mama told me never do shit out of spite

Gotta learn and love forever, that's the way to live this life tho

I'll be aight if I'm sticking by the code

This freedom makes me rich, never needed any gold

And so, to those that know, I'm here to play my role

Spreading the words of those who came before, yo
