NS.2 ft. Koda Kem Lyrics

I'm living better now

I made both my parents proud

Used have no boundaries

Now there's shit I don't allow

These days people count on me

Back then they would count me out

I still can't figure out

What was that shit all about

I still got goals to meet

I still got goals to reach

Was told to ground myself in truth I'm like tsk obviously

As if I'd ever make it out to be more than it seems

As if I'd ever change my essence for a magazine

I wasn't gifted with this hue to live a normal life

I wasted gifted with this view to take in normal sights

Everyday I'm elevating reaching newer heights

If I descend just know I'm coming back down with the light

I know

They won't ever see it how I see things

Baby girl can I see you this evening

I need something better to believe in

Uh

Knowing what to do's not the same as doing the work

My skin resembles the earth

Ironic I feel like dirt

Can't define my worth

I'm like fuck it cause they never will

Tryna break the cycle

Someone get me off this ferris wheel

Head spinning like youngin's

Who spin the block when they run a drill

Popping pills

Got em feeling ill

My flow be sicker still

Hoping that it cancels out

So we can all heal

The mission that I'm on

Bigger than making mills

Aye

Men lie women lie

Numbers get manipulated

Seems like the goal is to get the truth eliminated

They make it hard to love yourself if you're melanated

We could learn it all

And we could demonstrate it

I know

They won't ever see it how I see things

Baby girl can I see you this evening

I need something better to believe in

I know

They won't ever see it how I see things

Baby girl can I see you this evening

I need something better to believe in

So what's the mission now

Gotta do more than hold down

It's time to elevate

Not just yourself but those you keep around

Be mindful of the company you keep

Some of em creep around

Soon as you find out who

Peaceful fields turn to a battle ground

As I look around

I see the culture shifting

Those who stayed the same

Would say I'm acting different

I ain't hard to reach

Y'all just acting distant

Shout out to the ones I lost

I'll forever miss em

It's kinda crazy when you think about it

If you even think at all

If not then I'm appalled

But who am I to judge a nigga's flawed

I ain't different from none of y'all

It was fun

We would make a beat

Run it back

Run it back

Keep on writing till I got some heat

Got closer to the magic

Didn't know that I could be

So in motion with the shit

Hypnosis when I

Look

It got deep

So be young

We could see

Like if

You learn the fruit by it's tree

Big fire

Code blues on this
