How Many Times Lyrics

Out of the gravel I've grown

My heart is a tenant that'd never pay Rent

Cause it noticed that that would be Wrong

It's better to own

Than be a consumer

Know ima diamond I don't need a Jeweler

Don't get me twisted I am not a Rubik's

I'm sick of wishing man it's time for Doing

I'm feeling ambitious I don't see me Losing

The source is the one that inspires Me

Don't know if I want notoriety

Cause I'm a lieutenant

They know with his pen that JoWil Is a menace

Society

Put us under pressure

Now we smoking pressure

It's like we evading sobriety

The shadow outside is inside of me

I'm sparking this joint with the light In me

How many times

You light the blunt in the middle of Hitting it you done forgot

How many times

Them people act like they was with You when they knew they wasn't From the start

How many times

They told you that they wouldn't fold

Then they end up talking to cops

How many times

You see in the heat of the moment That they always boil out the pot

Guess I gotta stop giving energy

I gotta watch who befriending me

I got some brothers I consider family Even though they ain't no kin to me

All of this trauma that we keep inside Is

Cause don't nobody know remedies

Slowly becoming your enemy

Letting it go is the remedy

Most my niggas don't know how to Talk

Cause they grew up in the violence They only know how to spark

They don't even know how to park

Word to my dog he don't bark

Bullets be fly as a hawk

They done outlined him in chalk

Can't even go take a walk

You go outside it's a war

In my spirit I know I'm a genuis

It's a battle I'm killing my demons

To the Earth man I pledge an Allegiance

Ain't no hate over hate over here boy You seem tense

They say Jody a God better repent

Better repent

Ain't no killin my vibe

When I reach it

Now the route that I'm taking is Scenic

How many times you get on the road And feel

That you couldn't focus

You tryna cope

Your mission is purpose filled

And you been devoted

Nobody wanted to work

Now they see you going bizerk

The industry been on alert

My enemies hurt

I tell em channel the pain

It start with yo energy first

It's time to heal all the wounds

Raising the vibe Is what I desire

I'm using my mind as a tool

That's word to my tribe

Who be alongside

Regardless we win or we lose

The battles inside

I'm hearing yo cries

May this be a light for the youth

Who feel they got something to Prove

How many times

You light the blunt in the middle of Hitting it you done forgot

How many times

Them people act like they was with You when they knew they wasn't From the start

How many times

They told you that they wouldn't fold

Then they end up talking to cops

How many times

You see in the heat of the moment That they always boil out the pot

Guess I gotta stop giving energy

I gotta watch who befriending me

I got some bloodas I consider family Even though they ain't no kin to me

All of this trauma that we keep inside Is

Cause don't nobody know remedies

Slowly becoming your enemy

Letting it go is the recipe and the Remedy
