Nametag Alexander Dusk
Ugh...listen
Guaranteed to make an impact
On my momma that's big facts
I done made it over troubled water
Had to figure out a way to bridge that
Bow and arrow aim Hunger Games
Stomach touch where the ribs at
Need a plug on that EBT
Keep the family fed and the fridge packed
Tryin' to stack for them rainy days
Never know when them storms hit
I'm clutch wit' the pull up at crunch time
And life works out I get more fit
For the re-ward take more risks
Can't afford to make poor choi-ces
Chosen one indecisive ‘bout
Which pill to take from a Morpheus yo
Still in the matrix I'm barely showing my face
Alienated myself outta here I'm on a spaceship...
That's levelin' up, whoever felt like it's never enough
Checkin' for that next adrenaline rush
Takin' every shot as if it's my only
Like I'm the weapon that's been kept in the tuck...tuh
‘Cause I got the heart to prevail
I won't accept bein' defeated
Only thing left to do is excel
Put in work got dirt up under my nails
‘Nother scripture it was written well
Ill like four one nine year nine four
It ain't hard to tell ugh
Yea...Lead And Be Legendary
Work, win, repeat...same cycle
Let me get it back, uh
All of the agony, all this anxiety
All of it leadin' to stress
It's leavin' me tired I'm feelin' unwired
Don't need it to leave me depressed
And I been so distant from - my friends and family
We barely connect, and it's ‘cause of work
But is it worth - it if I'm gettin' a check
I just been feelin' a wreck
Feelin' the weight of the Earth on my shoulder and chest
Seem like it's another boulder to lift
Right when I feel like I got nothin' left
Therapeutic - thoughts ring off
Like bustin' yo' gun In the air to shoot it
And them bullets come down like they parachutin'
Look at the mirror - stare at the music
Got to face it and deal wit' my demons
Even if it's inconvenient
Seems that God tested me through fatherhood
When he sent me a daughter who needs me (hol' up)
I been up late plenty of evenings
Went a couple nights sleep-less so the heiress of seats can
Reap the benefits and have a better upbringin' (hol' up)
Need to stay afloat and upstream
Feelin' somethin' like Chuck D
‘Cause I got so much trouble on my mind
That I just really need to break free from
Need to stay afloat and upstream
Feelin' somethin' like Chuck D
‘Cause I got so much trouble on my mind
That I just really need to break free from look
Yea, LABL...like I said
We work, we win, we repeat
Same cycle...Lead And Be Legendary
