Ay yo I see so much potential in these strangers as they walking by We all got wings but it’s still gon take a lot to fly
I feel I’m losing faith but they say I gots to try
I heard my momma cry, then I felt my auntie die
She told me keep my head up, got me talking to the sky
Ain’t at a loss of words, I’m just waiting on God’s reply
I think it’s much safer when I keep my Glock inside
Pour out a shot of Jameson for my McLaughlin side
From chasing fireflies to catch me a star
Still get that same feeling whenever I pencil a bar
It’s like the very first time that I heard Kendrick Lamar
Or like when Hendrix picked up that first electric guitar
Through rhymebook memoirs live with my inside out
These six strings strung backwards playing upside down
Though my life’s on the road still I love my town
See all the homies do it big when I come back round
I wish my father’s father could see where his son’s at now
As I look out at that horizon just above those clouds
How can this sky be my limit as I’m drifting past the atmosphere
Tryna make a difference on this earth before we outta here
Caught in all that doubt and fear, y’all been on that couch for years
Don’t hold it against you still I got you on this round of beers
Raise my glass and cheers for those who understand me Across the land my, KnowMadic family
It’s been a minute since I seen you
I just hope that y’all remember
All the times we spent together
After all that we done been through
And I swear ain’t nothing better
Memories gon last forever
All that crazy shit that we’d do Always living for the moment
Getting faded til the morning
I’m just telling y’all I see you
And deep down I know you proud
Cause when we coming through yo town
It’s like a family reunion
I been tryna understand it why this world is slowly dying
All us humans losing hope like what’s the point in even trying
Since we landed on this earth or god done put us on this planet
Everybody taking the Lord’s blessings for granted
People on the street means more questions unanswered
Starving for the root of evil, the seed destiny planted
Destruction of our souls for technologic advancement
The fatal flaw of humanity banking on second chances
Somebody tell me when our spirits will be reunited
Feels like the fear inside has grown too strong for you to fight it They say the new world is coming like it’s been decided
Taking orders those in power keep us so divided
Remember sitting reading books inside the classrooms
Learned then that no matter your intention son the cash rules (everything)
It’s been years since I seen you, you ain’t changed at all
Made a lot of money got no time to make a call
You hating hard cause in your heart you probly hate your job
Been on our grind and you been sitting on the same old block
I got no enemies just those who envy love to talk
And when we see you, you be quiet act like nothing’s wrong
Son we done raised you up, why you wanna make us fall
Can’t seem to save your lonely soul so homie pray to God
I know these times is hard, I’m tryna find you lord
I speak these rhymes to keep my faith because they guide me forward
It’s been a minute since I seen you
I just hope that y’all remember
All the times we spent together
After all that we done been through
And I swear ain’t nothing better
Memories gon last forever
All that crazy shit that we’d do Always living for the moment
Getting faded til the morning
I’m just telling y’all I see you
And deep down I know you proud
Cause when we coming through yo town
It’s like a family reunion
[Outro

For that day that we on

That hate been making us strong
So we gon celebrate tonight
Cause we been waiting too long
And we gon keep this shit alive
Until the day that we gone
Until the day that we gone
