Verse 1
Who said I ain't out here handling my business? Them boys must be kidding/
Tripping off the game prolly took they shot and missed it/
Travel round the clock, turned a dream into a living/
But don't ever let it block, putting first my wife and children/
Said I can't feeling like I can/
They told me I'm random, I've been feeling like I'm planned/
I know if slip I'm finna land in His hands/
Trust is in the risen, built the land with His hands/
This industry profit off our problems, repackaging nonsense/
Then they're acting like they care, just masking they're oscars/
Breaking up these families from the stuff they peddle constant/
Then they sell it to these babies like they gamber and they proctor/
That ain't cool, and it ain't true/
If you see me on your stage yell that ain't you/
May not be your top 5 when I'm on this microphone/
But I'll never give these children something I won't give my own/

Verse 2
Daddy wasn't round here, I was shamed about it/
In Virginia Beach, he was in DC, wasn't down here/
Couldn't hold me, drug addiction he was holding/
Turned to music and my favorite rapper bragging that he sold them/
Scared I wouldn't make it, daddy's shadow over me/
Had to raise my children past it had to get them over me/
If they're standing on my shoulders then it's better they can see/
On the ground hand in hand with Mrs. Tia that's my Queen/
I am going to be everything that they said I couldn't be/
Pay my bills, raise my family, business man who rap and preach/
Took a dream from Nellie's basement 'cross US and overseas/
Shout out Mission, if you book me I'm just buying groceries/
You can be everything that they said you couldn't be/
Black educated child of God husband father King/
But I'ma keep my cool hoodie up felt a breeze/
And I may not rock a crown, I just laid it at His feet/
