The tide is turning
Nows the time to pick a side
Like a flower blooming
Time to photosynthesize
Stop burning up your vision
Tryna visualize
See all this graffiti on the wall
Got me mesmerized
You can do it too
If you apply yourself
Focus on the goal
And find your higher self
Wealth for generations
Greatness for your namesake
Can't wait on
Reparations or grant applications
Navigate segregation in light of the city's disposition
The Windy always had a tradition
For
Greasy palms, sex workers and missing pension funds
Reminiscing of
Growing up poor as a kid sure wasn't fun
Look
I ain't come to cause no damn trouble for no one
The Caribbeans where my family done come from
To be a free man has always been my ambition
Speaking whatcha thinking that's the new family tradition
And I ain't come to cause trouble for no one
Ayiti! Is where my family come from
To be myself has been my only ambition
Speaking what you thinking
That's the new family tradition
Up out the mud and dirt
I'm from the south you heard?
My pops taught me how to get it through that hard earned work
Tan hermos el paรญse but that corruptions worse
So is y'all coppin work?
Ain't no rest for the wicked only death for sure
Don't waste your ticket
Them blinding lights
I know they burn
I'm not concerned
My spot is earned
I'm most determined
To never learn enough to know it all
I try to follow Protocol
I connect the dots between the plots with red string on black and white photo wall
The people at the fabric store are fucking sick of me
The clock don't stop Tik-Tok
Hickory-Dickory
I felt the way they stared at me
They scared but also they intrigued
The flight attendants gave me drinks
I ain't come to cause no trouble to no one
Jalisco is where my family come from
Flipping Wax has always been my ambition
Diggin in these crates that's the new family tradition
I ain't come to cause no trouble to no one
The city of Chicago is where my family come from
To be MJ but as an MC has always been my ambition
Speaking what your thinking that's new family tradition
