Sage Lyrics

Can somebody please tell me

How a boy from the unknown

Be dropping bars

In people's cars

Like the likes of the Kendrick's and o' the Cole's

Like the Hendrix, y'all ready know

He already doing what he supposed

And it's like he unopposed

But he don't really like to boast

He just tryna run the coast

He just tryna do the most

He just tryna stay sweet & brown like the toast

Feeling alone like he Post

So he writing down all his woes

But hey

I'm like a sage

Cuz anytime I'm not up on a stage

I'm in a cage

And all that shit do is gimme rage

So I be sitting down man, I be flippin page

Making magic in the studio cuz I am a mage

Making magic in the studio just call me a mage

Chasing dreams simultaneously tryna make a wage

Chasing dreams simultaneously tryna make a wage

No wonder I can't act my age

I wake up in the morning & I ask myself

Should I Iggy? Should I Biggie? Should I 2pac myself?

Sometimes it really feel like I should cast myself

But I gotta stay, gotta fight, gotta task myself

Yeah

Most these people, they should test themselves

Is they working hard? Is they being the best themselves?

Is they taking L's? Leave it to the rest themselves

People dying even before they can test themselves

Damn

It all started when I lost my dad

Of course I had

To get a bag

To be the man of the house

To be the shit or not to be

Now Shakespeare with a durag's what they calling me

Yeah

Can't believe they used to ball on me

Now they scream

Back then they was mocking me

Now they stream

I can't stand that hypocrisy

Cuz that shit's a taboo like it's sodomy

But hey

I'm like a sage

Cuz anytime I'm not up on a stage

I'm in a cage

And all that shit do is gimme rage

So I be sitting down man, I be flippin page

Making magic in the studio cuz I am a mage

Making magic in the studio cuz I am a mage

Chasing dreams simultaneously tryna make a wage

Chasing dreams simultaneously tryna make a wage

No wonder I can't act my age

I don't need a knife

Or a trigger

To make a killing

I just need a beat

With some base

I'll make a living

Outta this dream

Gon' get all 'em streams

And I'mma stay flowing like I'm a stream

Know what I mean?

Said

I don't need a knife

Or a trigger

To make a killing

I just need a beat

With some base

I'll make a living

Outta this dream

Gon' get all 'em streams

And I'mma stay flowing like I'm a stream

Know what I mean?

But hey

I'm like a sage

Cuz anytime I'm not up on a stage

I'm in a cage

And all that shit do is gimme rage

So I be sitting down man, I be flippin page

Making magic in the studio cuz I am a mage

Making magic in the studio cuz I am a mage

Chasing dreams simultaneously tryna make a wage

Chasing dreams simultaneously tryna make a wage

No wonder I can't act my age

I hate when the disloyal say they testing me

All that shit really do is it be vexing me

Now they really hit my phone & say they texting me

But you don't really read texts when you on ecstasy

Said you don't really read texts when you on ecstasy

I'm tryna get shows from here down to Tennessee

I'm tryna do 'em both, tryna bring the best in me

& I don't need no-one to tell me this my destiny

So let it be

Imma let it be

Cuz sometimes you just gotta let it be

Not for them, but for me

Real niggas wassup?
