This Too Shall Pass Lyrics

I was lost and defeated

Felt like my life had withdrawn and depleted

Said goodbye to my family

Said hello to addiction

At the pace I was going

I'll see y'all in the deep end

I'm sorry Mom and Nonna

Don't know where I can begin

Cuz I don't know the next time that ima see em

I hollered at my nigga just to gain perspective

He just looked at me like "Nigga you better step up"

Remember that kid he saw spittin on Chestnut

He still believe in me and tell me that I'm next up

If it was meant for me

Then it's meant to be

So eventually shit was making sense to me

Cuz at one time I thought of abandoning ship

But now I'm playing to win a championship

Ten toes down I'ma stand on my shit

Back to grown man business handling shit

It ain't over for me

My nigga soon as I'm this beat

A teddy bear just grown to a beast

When it comes to the fam know we gon eat

In it to win it like a muhfuckin game show

I'm back in this bitch and get to whippin like I'm Django

Hey hoe new nigga like Hov about to change clothes

Cool as LL or Ordell in a Kangol

And this the shit that they been waiting for

Seven years later came to change the score

Cuz since day my mother passed away

This is the shit that I've been praying for

Now there ain't no more

Competition

Fuck all the opposition

I got a proposition

Too many pussies around I feel like an obstetrician

But now I feel like y'all ain't got a to piss in

So go ahead everybody start placing ya bets

Five to one odds on who taking it next

I ain't wasting a breath

Or retracing my steps

Shit I'm bout to start placing some threats

I was asking for change like a bum on the street

At my wits end I was gon run & retreat

Broken and beaten in need of comfort relief

Ready to throw the towel

Flustered because of this grief

But now I'm back to it

And the feeling's immaculate

Eventually end of the day I had to get past the shit

I had to split

Move throughout the labyrinths

This too shall pass better than I imagined it

Had an epiphany

Had to realize initially

Though they're gone for me physically

Legacy still gon live through me

I feel like god just granted me a second chance

So I'ma take full advantage the best I can

Got a 1up on niggas like an extra man

Now I'm back to working harder than Mexicans

I feel the spirit invoking my soul

Low and behold I'm going for gold

Call him butter cuz that boy on a roll

Going for broke too close to my goals

I'm going for a W

I don't know what that dub'll do

But I'm feeling the fever just like 102

But wack ass niggas I just can't fuck with you

But thank you Lord for giving me another morn

And thank you mom the very second I was born

So now that we close to the ending

I'm finally starting to show a resemblance

Of who I used to be with the dopest intentions

Cuz I reached the 7th stage

This is hope and acceptance

Yeah

This Too Shall Pass

And I'm only gonna get better

This Too Shall Pass

Shall Pass Shall Pass

This Too Shall Pass
