Lyrics
A yo, my life be like a bad dream
Could've swore I woke up
From burying my religion
Now I'm pretty sure we broke up
Now my family throw up
Horses like a hold up
I'm thinking damn when that karma since s'posed to show up
I decided to grow up
Start believing fairy tales
I was on a slave boat, now the ship has really sailed
Daddy told me very well
Now my life is living hell
I left the W's, they figured out and took a L
I told my friends and I cannot say they took it well
I'm looking at 'em thinking damn y'all ain't looking well
Everytime I look up, they see me and be looking down
I'm looking back at 'em thinking y'all a bunch of clowns
Big brain, couldn't fit it in the box
They told me to throw the thoughts, if I see 'em, we gon' box
The saying is on cypher, freedom I'm down to fight
Just to be authentic and live a real life
A yo, my family don't acknowledge my existence
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
I'll never make 'em proud, that's just what I gotta live with
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
No longer on the context, now I'm on the hit list
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
I lost everybody I ever knew as a witness
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
They said I had the truth, why not trade it for the world?
Well, my answer is freedom, I wouldn't trade it for the world
And it's precious like the pearl, my understanding is thorough
They told how to think, man they make me wanna horror
After all these oppression and depression, I learnt the lesson
I'd rather have questions I can't answer than answers I can't question
Steady making confessions to man for God's blessing
Thinking eternal future, steady living in the present
Don't regret it for one second, I no longer come second
No looking into the sky, I'm creating my own blessings
I finally see the God in myself
And what I needed? I just got it myself
I don't rely on the help
If I get it, it's a bonus on myself
I put the own this in knowing they don't condone it
They would rather see me homeless and the witness
Than walk, it's self sufficient
Hoping I might come back from my siblings knowing I miss 'em
A yo, my family don't acknowledge my existence
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
I'll never make 'em proud, that's just what I gotta live with
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
No longer on the context, now I'm on the hit list
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
I lost everybody I ever knew as a witness
I'm thinking hey, that's the cost of doin' business
