The Way Lyrics

Uh Yo

I jumped off the porch and then started making moves

To hustle highly aggressive, I knew that paper ruled

Unfavored but educated, I used to play the fool

But now I'm up before the alarm, I no longer play the snooze

Proceed to plan out my day in this game that I choose

I wonder which street should I surf and which wave should I cruise

Already got my sneakers wet in this pavement, my shoes

Is water-proof, I'm never slipping, my laces is grooved

A bruised champion of sorts in a chamber of fools

To them, another black nigga with dangerous views

Seeing the world through tinted scopes and the ways of Jesus

Views of black militance, by noon I'll be making the news

True, advanced, social training, the stages is new

Instead of a plate of food, I need a couple tables too

Some LED spotlights to highlight the way that I view

Must make a way for me so I can make a way for you

Gotta find a way

Yeah Uh

A couple years older now, I got grays in my beard

Still in my thirties, just was raised in ways that was weird

I grew up dirty, been engaged in this world all these years

I learned a lot, but never picked up the language of fear

I hesitated, but I never froze-up or was scared

Just meditated as I distanced myself from my peers

Crafted a king's state of mind as I painted my square

Then watched the game fade back to my state of affairs

I close my eyes and I can picture the days that I've seen

Try not to sleep cause I might never awake from this dream

Tried not to speak, but it gets deep, I've been waging with pain

All in my sleep, pour it on beats, it's the way that I'll gain

Love thy neighbor, just never do what the neighbors do

You'd rather me aim at myself than to aim at you

You getting paper? My nigga, I'm getting paper too

Must make a way for me, so I can make a way for you

Gotta find a way

Uh Yo

I hopped out the porsche and started breaking rules

I hustled way to aggressive, so now they taking clues

Of everything around me, my sacred jewels

Acknowledged, but never forgotten, they see the way I move

Mr. Tee, I'll never pity or play the fool

I'll forever be just a clever, gritty, and flagrant dude

My enemies get energy from they state of views

But who raised you, you going against the way that's true

Nowadays you'd just rather get it the fast way

While lies circle the world the truths makes it halfway

Information moves fast in a bad way

I'm burning money, while I'm using the world as my ashtray, uh

I'm in the art of explaining the unexplainable

Obtainable artist for commission, I'm tryna paint for you

You getting paper? My nigga, I'm getting paper too

Must make a way for me, so I can make a way for you

Gotta find a way

Some rise some fall, some win some lose

Know I get mine, this path I choose

I trust my lust, I play by rules

A tattered king in a land of fools

I always came in last

Still I'm ten toes down on my path

I'm bound to find a way

To find a way

To find a way
