Everything Lyrics

[Hook 1]
Everything I’ve learned in my life
I can try to sing you a song
About how living is strong
And how loving is long
You could be a king from a day
The next day be in chains
Live your life ma nigga
Let the tears wash away the stains

[Verse 1]
I have seen the paper turn a man against his maker
Started getting bread and now he don’t respect the baker
Niggas think they landed now they tryna own the acre
I’m just watching from above as high as a Jamaican
Jesus to this rappers, watch em all forsake M
Peace I wish upon you tho, Assalam alaikum
Keep my hand to myself you can never shake em
Hand is on my rifle just in-case they try to take em huh
I done seen brothers turned their back against they brothers
Niggas think I’m toast but know my bread is always buttered
Me I never eat alone my family is covered
Along with every loyal motherfucker I discovered

Gotta get a broom I got some roaches in my cupboard
If a nigga tripping I can do without the luggage
People left the family and started chatting rubbish
Gangsters move in silence I got shit that I can publish huh
Loyalty, according to the business, is established
I can never walk away and leave my people famished
Broken hearted once but it’s alright though I can manage
Poof to all the fake ones, wish you blessings as you vanish (poof)
As we recover from the damage
CBN looked to me to show em what the plan is

Painting a classic got my brush against the canvas
Geniuses are lonely coz nobody understand us arhhh
[Hook]
Everything I’ve learned in my life
I can try to sing you a song
About how living is strong
And how loving is long
You could be a king from a day
The next day be in chains
Live your life ma nigga
Let the tears wash away the stains

[Verse 2]
I have seen the best turned to weed and loose direction
Smoking for inspiration that’s the fucking intersection

What should not inspire you, will ask you for protection
Your highness are you low enough to one day face rejection huh?
I have seen pretenders too numerous to mention
Stand upon falsehood, fake by extension
Man must pay to gravity the price for his ascension
If you think I’m talking to you nigga this an intervention arh
I have seen kings not aware of their successors
Waiting in the wings they blinded by their successes

That’s why I try to give you every detail of my essence
Until your time has come, you will be blessed within my presence
I earned the crown and then returned it sit among the peasants
How should they be saved unless I bring to them a message
How should they improve unless they sit and hear my lessons

Trying Usher in the Future I’ve got a few confession arrh
Many I have called, chosen are the few
Following my teachings, the actions of a Jew
Never lack for anything their ration is renewed
Coz cash is no distraction when the passion is the glue
I have been instrumental, learned the fundamentals
Always sentimental, in my fucking mental
Grab myself a pencil then I wrote my name in history
Why are they trying erase it men shit is just a mystery to me
[Hook]

[Outro]
Nigga can you see you on your own
You let so many strangers in your heart
Now they ran and left you all alone
Nigga can you see you on your own yeah you on your own
Nigga can you see you on your own
Show you love when you was on the throne

Now it's 33 shots at the door
Nigga can you see you on your own yeah you on your own
