lyrics

See picture this...
I always loved the crispness
of music taking it in like an addiction
making me smile, like a kid on christmas
drive my mom wild sub shaking the kitchen
me flowing with a rhythm needed some fixin
put years in this shit now I'm kinda the shiznit
wanna say I'm rich bitch but more interested
in helping out kids cus my spirits get lifted
with lessons from the best so success is a given
I run shop like a mom pop business
revolving every sentence to a rhyme scheme
I ain't have to learn that tho it came as a blessing
from the light above you don't know what that means?
you ain't dug enough dirt no your shirts too clean
I was in the mud pits when my soul let free
since then I've beaming as bright as can be, ya that's me

And I'm toasting to the sky cus I'm alive
living right from the second I open my eyes
Rise high as a kite cus I stay in flight
first class til we die and there ain't no price
YEAH I'm toasting to the sky cus I'm alive
living right from the second I open my eyes
Rise high as a kite cus I stay in flight
first class til we die....

Got me thinking bout Jay before he made the pay
or flava flav before clock chains an fine babes
tv shows, ladies screaming your name
me I'm still chillin wit my homies getting blazed
ain't just talking dreams tho no we make plays
on my peyton manning game til they lock me away
sounding like OJ someone bring the champagne
plus a pound of snoop dogg its time to celebrate
the pure fact we all woke up today
most people don't show praise still ask why I pray
I'm amazed god took me out pain
replaced a deep dark space with a smile to make change
left a chick named mary jane I'll never toss away
just keep hitting that sweet stuff all day
never take a name in vein and I never spread hate
you could say I feel blessed to say that with a straight face


And I'm toasting to the sky cus I'm alive
living right from the second I open my eyes
Rise high as a kite cus I stay in flight
first class til we die and there ain't no price
YEAH I'm toasting to the sky cus I'm alive
living right from the second I open my eyes
Rise high as a kite cus I stay in flight
first class til we die....

How did this happen? All I did was take my passions
go for em like a pheine look for smack when he's relapsing
I kicked in those habits focused on this rap shit
now my actions bout to coincide launch me on the atlas
be the last one standing if I have to on this planet
god damn it tryna make it better need to understand that
this worlds a battlefield Are you on my team?
Are you cool with green?
You ain't gotta smoke yo just let me be
bout to spread these wings
Following my dream til I can't breathe and I'm set free
Think I'd feel like a pussy if I packed up to leave
so Imma dig in that pussy til I'm filled to my knees “haha”
here to takeover like Nino at the Carter
heart of my grandfather never seen no one work harder
Imma rap martyr put your profits in my pockets
best chance hide in yo closet, karma making me honest
it's a habit of prophets an gods being exalted
I pray they eluhvate me to the highest here walking
how mandela raised an army I'mma start a freedom party
if they take me out like pac I'll let my rhymes keep speaking for me
