lyrics

Chorus:
One day I´m gon´ touch the sky
Time flies but so do I
Oh my my, oh my
Now I decide just how high

Verse 1:
People messing with energy, let’s keep sentiments straight
settin’ em straight, when i got my own M.O.
tryna calibrate, my time you waste
this life is short, so my kind of space
ain’t got idiots in it, i count the minutes until my fate
my spirit is sacred, until i meet my maker, my way,
imma keep on making, i stay
tryna meet my greatness halfway
i´m tryna awaken my state
the situation is telling
hell, sorry i can’t hear you over my ancestors yelling

Pre:
We gon’ rise
We on the come up
We´ll be fine
We’ve had enough, uh
We gon’ be ok
We gon’ be ok (say)
we gon’ be ok (Say)
We gon’ be ok now

Chorus

Verse 2:
My name’s inconvenient, ay
that’s how i like it
it holds experience, stories, fights and my life all inside it
i like my skin how it is
i sing when i feel pain
rappers claiming that real talk, but i rhyme with my real name
see here
i know the feeling is there
see my people dreaming, exceed in the face of despair
beating the evils that keep us seated
we’re clearing the air, fearing no man
and people fighting to see what is theirs

Pre-chorus
Chorus
