Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In a land so cold
What can I hold
On to this land of the free home of the brave
Where they killin’ us day after day
Ye was right we the new slaves
Chains on the whips we back
I’m caught in that
I’m caught in that
We embracen that
An I’m ashamed of that
Time to take it back to,
That old garden that
Ain’t have none of that
Don’t for-get your roots
Hands up don’t shoot
I can’t breath
Get-off-me
Please get off me
Can’t you see
We need
[Hook]
Godly, Godly
Just tryna be more, tryna be more
Godly, Godly
Yeah Godly, Godly
Just tryna be more, tryna be more
Godly
On my knees begging please
Lord Make me a little more
Godly, Godly
Godly, Godly
Make me more
Godly, Godly
Godly, Godly
Godly
This is my prayer
Don’t leave me in this hellhole
When you come back
When u come back
Back Godly
[Verse 2]
Why you kill that mother, why you kill that brother
Why Alton what he do to you
Why Travon I wear hoodies too
Why you can’t answer
President this a pandemic where’s your order
Black lives matter
Kill white silence
Tryin’ not to hate my brother
From another mother
Can’t love God and hate harbor
God I can’t love you like I want to
Can you hear me just tryna be more
I can’t believe my eyes
Shot my Castile in front of me
Reaching for his id
No EMTs
We got debates and rallies but tell me where’s Jes-us
Why ya’ll not prayin’
While they prey us
Pleadin the blood, I struggle Lord
So does this country
We… need…love
I’m tired of the tears in eye
Seein’ our brother’s die
Why God why…
[Hook]
Godly, Godly
Just tryna be more, tryna be more
Godly, Godly
Yeah Godly, Godly
Just tryna be more, tryna be more
Godly
On my knees begging please
Lord Make me a little more
Godly, Godly
Godly, Godly
Make me more
Godly, Godly
Godly, Godly
Godly
This is my prayer
Don’t leave me in this hellhole
When you come back
When u come back
Back Godly
[Outro verse]
Grant me the serenity to accept the things I can’t change
Change the things I can change and the wisdom to know the difference
Lord help me love my brother with a Godly love
Thank you for your grace and your Godly sorrow
Help me make it to tomorrow
Let your blood cover us all
Show this country they need you they need Love
Godly
[Verse 1]
Fall in the world and I wonder
How we gone pick up the pieces
Maybe I’ll eat em like resses
Pray the shards of glass
don’t tear my stomach to pieces
Tired of takin all this pain
Just for small gains
But they tell me
Gotta stay hungry
So I just
keep it on up wit the eating
Wonder how I survive
All of my internal bleeding
Least that’s what it feel like sometimes
In the middle of the night
Things don’t seem to go right
Remind me of that time
I was dehydrated
Pain in my side
Father had to carry me
To the emt
Only thing comforting me
Knowing it wasn’t the
appendix
We gonna go through it
Tests is never ending
Just show some improvement
Know if I get through this
Receive a wonderful blessing
Hard times are patience tested
And the time that you vested
All those tears u cried
wasn’t for nothing
All the time you vested
Tears you cried
Wasn’t for nothin
[Chorus 1]
Wonderful pt1 snippet
[Verse 2]
Now I’m feeling nastalgic
Cause I’m listening
Remember when I was writin’
In a time so troublin’
Now I’m goodie again
Second verse
Catchin my second wind
Still don’t know when Imma win again
But I’m enjoying the high life while I’m up in it
Like a plane in the clouds
Soarin around b4 it touch down
What I’m looking at now is benevolent
After a storm so violent
The sun
seems to be shinen the brightest
Maybe cause
Our eyes adjust to the darkness
But I know my God is magnificent
And I can’t discribe how wonderful this is
The feeling of peace in this kid
From the places I’ve been and the things that I did
I’m not perfect don’t pretend to be this isn’t a game to me
Why would I kid
I am who I am…
accept me for this
Don’t worry I’m still growing
Hopefully it’s showing
What more can I say…
I’m giving you all of me…
Somebody once told me…
Transparency is the key
To be, continue
Feelin’ me as ya heartbeat
[Chorus 2]
Wonderful pt2 snippet
[Outro]

[Hook]
[Verse 1]
(Grew up in the BK) Grew up in the BK
Brooklyn water raised me
Ain’t no time for the play play
‘Cept when grace ballin’ ballet
Oh it’s rough where I come from
Had designer still try me
Wanna hate cause they not me
Go an take my life
Couldn’t walk a day B
Why the bloods wanna try me
Now I’m cool wit every one I meet
Hold it down B
You already know
Show I’mma beast
Beat battered low
Life of the least
Sister bro detached
Can I get that time back
Father came Back
Wasn’t always slack
Searched every track
Still searchin’ where my mother at
[Verse 2]
(Hey miss purple dress) Hey miss purple dress
Gotta love your shyness
Seen you across the way
Got my heart picking up pace
So I gotta step make my way
Ya pretty smile lighten up my day
Could it be that ya drawn to me
Way ya teeth come aline
Add to ya fine
Maybe baby I
Yeah I’d pay a bail for you
Love to get wit ya
At least for a night or two
What u wanna do (uh, uh)
….
Take ya down to the battery
Commence to some flattery
Walkin’ in some flauntery
Got ya number like the lottery
Baby girl you alright
Radiant under start light
Girl I swear you’ll be my kyrpt tonight
[Verse 3]
(Grew up in a dark place) Grew up in a dark place
Couldn’t put my pen away
Kept my pad on me everyday
Had to write all my pain away
Fast forward to a brighter day
‘Laxin’ under money tree
Craft my lyric till hear the illest
Executing to the fullest
Till they really feel it
Now I’m ready for the big stage
Remember when it wasn’t back stage
Just a mic and a lil light
Few people in my sites
Lay down every lyric
Like the last of my life
From 10’s to 1000’s
Nerves always gitterin’
Then I’m onstage in my shades
Get the crowd engaged
Zone faden me away
[Hook]
I ran I run I’ll run my race
Walkin’ limpin’ crawl my way
Faith can fill my suitcase
I’m done wit the goose chase
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’ (nah)
I don’t owe you nothin’
Place my God above you
So don’t stick me wit a label
Slam it down on the table
See I paid wit the struggle
So
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’ (nah)
I don’t owe you nothin’
[Verse 1]
Raised up in the yankee league streets like my brother pete rock
Everyday a the week listenin the master hip hop
From biggie to Tupac
Keep ya head held me high
Juicy kept me easy
When I was stressed n worried
Had to grow up quickly
Tried out being a kid
Guess it wasn’t for me
Member livin’ the SI
Home of the Wu n I
Knew my father marcy
OG da Bedstuy
The Do or you die
Mother from the pinks eye
East side let’s ride
Defend myself I was taught
Up in the schools that we fought
Always wanna envy
But why u be worried
Bout the clothes that we buy
Or the shoes that we rock
Or the cars that we drive
Or the way that we walk
You don’t know where I came
Or the pain that’s inside
But you’ll be by my side
When I’m in my glory
I was low though
couldn’t be there for me
Laughin’ at me
Now ya lyin’ to me
To my face son
For real, you expect me to believe that you there, you got my back now. But when I was down and out you was nowhere to be found. I work hard! Blood, sweat, and tears for this! i put everything into this! And now only the people that’s wit me gone ride, but you I don’t owe you nothin’!
[Hook]
I ran I run I’ll run my race
Walkin’ limpin’ crawl my way
Faith can fill my suitcase
I’m done wit the goose chase
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’ (nah)
I don’t owe you nothin’
Place my God above you
So don’t stick me wit a label
Slam it down on the table
See I paid wit the struggle
So
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’ (nah)
I don’t owe you nothin’
[Verse 2]
808’s hit heavy
Like the way my heart beat
Really Need some relief
But you wanna beat me
No I’m not backing down
Don’t care who be around
Ya’ll gone have to jump me
Right here in these streets
Cause I got the fight a
Million man army
Who that dare to touch me
Being the child of a king
Not to mention judge me
Cause the way that I be
Till u get to know me
All that did was make me
Go
harder…better
faster Stronger
Play a little longer
Dizzy Gillespie
Or the Great louie
Like (scat)
Bee bop da hip hop
I wanna stand on top
And right bout now
I only got one shot
So I won’t bow
Rabbit the 8 mile
Till I crack a smile
Got the gold cause I beat my trials
Pose like Bolt cam-er-a
check my uh uh uh ouuut
[Bridge]
I’ll lap the turtle…
before I take a nap n let ’em finish
I know you slept on me…
but a new chapter’s just beginnin’
Swear I feel it in my soul I know I’m winning
And when I get in…
And when I get in, remember I don’t owe you nothing
[Hook 2]
I ran I run I’ll run my race
Faith can fill my suitcase
I’m done wit the goose chase
And listen, I don’t owe you nothin’
Place my God above you
So don’t stick me wit a label
Guess what, nah I don’t owe you nothin’
Nah I don’t owe you nothin’
I ran I run I’ll run my race
Get the hell up out my face
I’m done wit the goose chase
Listen, I don’t owe you nothin’
Slam it down on the table
Said I paid wit the struggle
Guess What, nah
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’
I don’t owe you nothin’ (nah)
I don’t owe you nothin’
