“Wizdom”
Why you still, calling my side?
I’m in a place you
Nah this time it just won’t do (won’t do)
Trying to make it through (make it through)
To the other side
(Get em’ Gates)
This wasn’t ‘posed to be mentioned
But here it go
My ego got the best of me knowing I should’ve listened (I should)
Don’t be like you forefathers, treat your daughters different (you should)
Love all your women with undivided attention
Rub on her feet and listen to all her visions
King and a queen achieving what you envisioned
Serve you niggas to be attentive to my scriptures
Fruits of this wisdom worth more than any riches
By eloquence all things could be obtained
I’m in a different lane
Which would you prefer?
Being great or a greater name
The greatest motivator being pain
Wise men change, fools they stay the same
Real I remain, I learn not to complain
Alternate type of humble when doors shut in your face
Windows of opportunities open up any day
Huh, I know it’s one on the way
And in a time won’t make it right
Why you still calling my side?
I’m in a place you
Nah this time it just won’t do (won’t do)
Trying to make it through (make it through)
To the other side
Don’t believe in my potential
People either grow together or they grow in distance
It’s something artificial in a instant, I can sense it
There’s nothing you could do me if I love you, I forgive it
Energy off balancing my spirit, I could feel it
Best actors get the best parts, talented and mischievous
Deceptive and the best parts, don’t let that convince you
When it comes from God, I’m not in need of no convincing
Beautiful attachment will distract you from your mission
Intelligence will train what we teaching our children
Descendant of a slave major thing that got me tripping
Native to the land with the Indians I’m sittin’
New tattoos stays, nothing was ever given
My son goin’ be a man and an overseer of many
Abundance from the land, God Mother give us plenty
Focus on what matter, don’t let the internet trick you
You either stand on Nation business or walk around being silly
And in a time won’t make it right (won’t make it right)
Why you still calling my side? (callin’ my side)
I’m in a place you (I’m in a place you)
Nah this time it just won’t do (just won’t do)
Trying to make it through (make it through)
To the other side
Things do, just won’t do
Make it through, I-i-i-i
Things do, just won’t do
Make it through, I-i-i-i
