[00:01.018][Tietta: Spoken Poem]
[00:08.949]My emotions wash over me like an unskilled sailor out at sea
[00:15.441]All at once I’m tossed overboard and my ship is sunk
[00:21.421]Stranded— I’m left with two options, sink or swim
[00:28.574]My heart tells me the fight is over
[00:31.439]My mind tells me the waves are stronger than my will
[00:35.174]Yet and still— I fight, ‘cause I’ll be damned if I go down without one
[00:41.444]Stroke by stroke my body takes over
[00:44.672]I’m guided by something stronger than any earthly thing
[00:47.878]Suddenly, I’m swimmin’ against the current
[00:52.882]Against all odds I make it to land
[00:55.597]Shipwrecked— but safe at last
[00:59.304]I’m not afraid anymore
[01:02.460]I’ve looked every fear I had in the face and still chose to walk through that door
[01:08.958]I’m chosen
[01:10.515]I asked God to guide me and he told me I’m golden
[01:14.555]I’m the one that’s gon’ bring us out of the dark times of uncertainty
[01:19.185]The weight of bein’ the one used to burden me
[01:22.048]Now it’s the only thing that’s got me feelin’ certainly
[01:24.810]
[01:25.113][Verse: LaRussell]
[01:25.380]My momma raised me as a G, my daddy turned me to a dawg
[01:31.566]Section 8, 4 bedroom, runnin’ up and down the halls
[01:34.472]Ditched school yesterday, I just hope they miss the call
[01:37.282]Wasn’t really learnin’ shit, ain’t wanna hoop, I wanna ball
[01:40.152]How a n**** get this sick? Robitussin, take these Halls
[01:43.023]Turn that ****in’ game off, you too sick to go outside
[01:46.034]Got me peepin’ through my window
[01:48.911]Never thought I’d make it from Nintendo to black truck with moms blowin’ indo
[01:52.011]Look at my life pass at hyperspeed
[01:54.139]I missed out on some love but that’s aight with me
[01:57.342]I missed out on some cash but that’s aight with me
[02:00.136]I missed out on some __ but that’s aight with me
[02:02.969]But I ain’t miss out on these blessings
[02:04.999]God gave me a secret weapon— the voice to heal a nation
[02:08.356]Thought they’d kill me by my second album With the whites talkin’ like Malcolm
[02:12.397]A million up, still walkin’ down Falcon
[02:15.713]My n***** love me on the block
[02:18.359]Can’t tell if I got a job, n****, I be home a lot
[02:21.293]Can’t tell if I really made it, n****, I be wearin’ Crocs
[02:24.072]I think I’ma end this song with a lesson from my pops
[02:27.016]Be a leader…
[02:28.819]That was the lesson, hahaha
[02:31.572]Be a leader
