Tekst piosenki
[Intro: Nas & Rakim]
„I seen so many of the peers I really loved
Turn to strugglin’ artists because they not benefited
Where – it’s dudes that ain’t got no talent is benefited
You know what I’m sayin’? So…
It’s been there, I’m just bothered up to say.”
„It was never, um – the money that was my main desire
To do this, it was always um – my passion to stand up
As amongst of – one of the best.”
Man – at this point I don’t even want the money
I just wanna rise, because here it’s just – so frustratin’
I wanna be out there
Let me rise yo, here I go:
[Verse 1]
Mama says „wait a bit more”, friends say I got talent
I appreaciate that but that’s no outlet for the cycle
The Bible shows there’s a forgive for The Good Thief
Goddamn dawg, so where’s my trophy?
I say this cause I see cats blow away to success
Name it jealousy but I only wanted to get blessed
With that victory and make heavy history
Is to me or that shit just happens to me?
It’s a kind of emptiness, a lack drown in a lotery
Someone enlisted me and the motherfucker made me win
Catch me in the streets thinkin’ how to fit
These rhymes in these lines to have a lil’ benefit
Called respect by the concept I gave
To friend and foes of Xplicit Damn
Man, in my life things where equivalent
But now I wonder how long do I gotta wait to say…
[Hook]
(It’s all good, same number, same hood)
I don’t want the goods
You never understood how I want the game
But still don’t blow away
How long do I gotta wait to say
(It’s all good, same number, same hood)
I don’t want the goods
You never understood how I want the game
But still don’t blow away
How long do I gotta wait
[Verse 2]
I need a redemption, a savin’ election
Someone’s hand straight to the profession’s perfection
A bit of perception, please, to lyrical tears
No peers cried with music in their ears
By no fear, just thoughts of [I] couldn’t make this true
And I started to refuse to make myself outdo
They say it’s on you or serch your opportunity
Yeah, it’s on me but I ain’t seein’ it comin’ in
How I’m doin’ this if [they] never understood this?
So don’t criticize if you got your crew, bitch!
Trynna be able to do it
Heavily inspired by be a misunderstood kid
In them kind of things so I try to cranck
Surroundin’ shits and get outta here through the last
Chance they give to Eidrien but damn, man
My question still is how long do I gotta wait to say…
[Hook]
(It’s all good, same number, same hood)
I don’t want the goods
You never understood how I want the game
But still don’t blow away
How long do I gotta wait to say
(It’s all good, same number, same hood)
I don’t want the goods
You never understood how I want the game
But still don’t blow away
How long do I gotta wait
[Outro]
Yo, shout out to everybody out there in their struggle
We gon’ make it yo, we can’t stop now!
Keep your head up, keep your head up
Keep your head up…
