RIP Bill Withers RIP J Dilla Had to make the song memorable Half this rap shit belongs in trash receptacles I see the plays ion need neither a X nor O Plant the seed then let it grow Then get the cash invest in bulk I got my mind on a million dollar mission And the gold I pan and dig it til gave me tunnel vision Yeah Off that drank I get to trippin that’s why I don’t really sip it tab of LSD I did it Then I really got to trippin and I really seen some visions made me cry because I’m gifted Now in psychs I rarely dabble busy tryna make an Apple that’s a trillion dollar business Look I aint made man but I’ve changed man Thinking how to get paid bands off the game plan Still from the same side of town with the same clan I just started treating my art like it’s appraised land Adding value, intelligent southern gal who Faced off with death a few times still go the extra mile to Ensure my family is straight like nana taught us how to Realized it definitely aint love if they try to defile you And in the midst of the storm gotta smile too It’s hard for enemies to strike if they cant figure out moves Not sure the purpose of my life i cant figure out grooves There’s lessons in everything, even in those who doubt you So gon and make this here memorable Flow sounding invincible over beats like interludes Genius level like Coltrane my sentimental mood Divine spirit show through my lyrics like I invented truth To turn my goals to accomplishments had to get in tune No more parties on Edgewood or Voyage interviews More community building without oppressive institutes And more taking pride in how communities remember you So what you wanna be? Forgettable or memorable So what you wanna be? Forgettable or memorable

Whatever that you wanna do Just know that I’m riding with you And though times may be strange The one thing that don’t change is I know you gon always stay true And even though you know I be smoking crazy My memories of you never hazy I swear you like the sweetest thing I ever known And i cant wait to get with you when i get home When I’m in alone in my room don’t really stare at the wall Unless im zoned out from dreaming bout when we get to ball And when I needed to vent it was you I would call 5’4 but you gave me confidence to stand tall All I can see is visions of us touring the globe Supported me from empty venues to sold out shows You the reason I can hit the track with so many flows Cause you’ll keep em told you secrets bout me nobody knows Besides my family you the first love I’ve ever had Shit I think you even introduced my mom & dad Shit I think you even introduced me to the swag I’ll keep the peace over here yall can have the drama back I know it’s real baby How I feel baby Niggas tried me know I had to get the steel baby You know I’m rough around the edges but I’m still a lady Rosebudd like Yo Yo cause they can’t even play me Since I was 9 years old it’s been you by side Even when I had to take up wack jobs to provide Just know you’ll never have to question if you need me I’ll slide Got me married to the game killing shit like The Bride so let’s ride Whatever that you wanna do Just know that I’m riding with you And though times may be strange The one thing that don’t change is I know you gon always stay true And even though you know I be smoking crazy My memories of you never hazy

Live! 01:36
Now who liver than us? Say who liver than us? Now who liver than us? Say who liver than us? Now who liver than us? Say who liver than us? Now who liver than us? Say who liver than Im not your idol or highest title just numero uno I’m not a puerto rican but i am a CEO Whos tryna move from working in the red to the negro And prayin Ion need the piece while looking thru the peephole I’m more Malcolm than talcum get it by any means Whether Thru direct connections or the in-betweens Made us choose primary colors all just to get the green Puppet hand unseen but set up like ya TV screen Maybe it’s that MK Ultra or it’s Maybelline Could be in ya cup of a coffee or ya collard greens I look thru the smoke & mirrors and it’s clear distrust Surviving to thriving now tell me who liver than us? Now who liver than us? Say who liver than us? Now who liver than us? Say who liver than us? Now who liver than us? Say who liver than us? Now who liver than us? Say who liver than
