Solitude

Yeah, na-na This is the soul If you know, then you know You gotta give a little something (Yeah) You gotta give a little something (Yeah) I say you gotta give a little something Yeah, na-na-na-na-na You gotta give a little something Yeah, well, you know Only ever wanting better for my peeps How I step into the scene is how I'm leaving with the team Family close, slave to the vanity, no Ride with me slow, homie, we can actually hope For better days, get your back off the wall Stride on the ropes One step at a time, don't exist when I rhyme Don't resist when I flow, see the ocean, it goes Back and forth, what you need? Know I give you my heart any day of the week Give a damn about hating, you know I came from the streets You know I came from the soul Know I came from the motherland, why we killing our own? Tell me, what do you see? Young brother with dreads, more kids than the meds More money, more problems, you know I'd rather be broke If I ever had many, I would invest in my own Then progress with the times On the real, I'm tryna keep pushing life and give something You gotta give a little something (Yeah) You gotta give a little something You gotta give a little something Yeah, everybody want a race (Everybody want a race) Yeah, I be staring in my lane (Staring in my lane) Yeah, know I put it on my name (On my name) Yeah, I put it on my life (Put it on my life) It's the only way I can survive, yeah (Survive) The only way to live, only way to die Had to go to Congo just so I could feel alive Tell my baby I'll be back another time What is there left to give when we gladly pay For the greatest gift we have today? Love was present, then it passed away It died free and now the cap's a slave If I observe it in the wild, in the future, I'll back away Liberty to let my passion graze Life's a movie where the scenes don't sync up to the caption phrase Just a passive way to let you know that no delay could stop forward You need to take time and give something There's somebody I'm sure in need of an injun Sometimes a handout is just to lend something Remember income don't equal wisdom Ayo, sacrifice for others if you can and you should help I don't ever feel me, that's just proof you do for self If you tryna climb a ladder, fly the stairs and reach a shelf Just remember when you reach it, will you fail? And gave something Feeling alive this time we move Just know in time you'll find your truth You see the light, let it shine on you When you feel the pain, keep your faith and fly away You gotta give a little something I guess reciprocation takes the patience of a nation But I've waited, pulled my body into places I feel dried up Dried up, cried out I had to figure how to dismount my heart from a chest Let love take its time out Let it recharge and find out a safer way to climb out
