All Facts

All facts, that's guaranteed when I get in a session
 Future-minded, but every once in a while
 I gotta slow it down to re-adjust my lenses and live in the present
 I'm moving humble, but the flow got a little aggression
 Still here, pitching freedom to the captives
 No hypocrisy, man I can only speak on what I practice
 I'm paying dues, paying attention and paying taxes
 They try to write me off, on account of my blackness
 But man it's whatever, let's just see who's laughing last
 All of that negative energy, I'mma have to pass
 Funny how we draw different conclusions from half a glass
 Funny how we draw different conclusions with matching facts
 Truly I was lowdown living, now I know I've been forgiven
 So I'm throwing up a deuce to my ratchet past
 Back when all I wanted in the world was a stack of cash
 Back when all I wanted was a girl with the baddest... huh
 Just look at the grace of God
 Rich in abundance, but never something to place aside
 You know the house will win every time if you play the odds
 Knowledge is power, without a doubt, there's a great divide
 Just look at the great divide
 Time is borrowed, I gotta watch how I'm using my credit
 But knowing that He paid it all, I'm forever indebted
 And that ain't really hard to see, at least it isn't hard for me
 And I ain't where I wanna be, but I know where I'm headed, check the mileage
 Yeah I don came a long way from performing covers at talent shows
 Now I'm just cracking codes
 Flipping the script like I'm trying out for some acting roles
 Honest to God, I'm taking it deeper than baritone
 We live in a broken world
 I know some brothers that's chasing women
 But they never stick around, too afraid of commitment
 And I know women who know better but lower they standards
 I'm wondering who's more to blame for these destructive patterns, yeah
 But that's another conversation we can table
 I don't ever really stress over boxes or labels
 Call me whatever you want, just don't call me for favours
 I gotta know the residents in my quarters are stable, yeah
 That's just the way that it's gotta be for a while
 'Cause you give someone a inch, they prolly take it a mile
 I got my shawty some nails, and then I got her some heels
 And now she looking at extensions like she naming a file, I swear
 I'm introverted at heart, without a question
 And often I'd rather just stay at home
 But I step out and mingle just so that people don't get the wrong impression
 Does small talk even really turn into strong connections?
 Hardly ever, I'm only thinking aloud
 I'm perfectly content with not fitting in with the crowd
 I'm perfectly content with my current rate of progression
 Staying true to my convictions and making my momma proud, and it's real
 I lift my eyes to the hills, my help is certain
 Through the highs and lows, I know that my Father is steady working
 And lately I've been praying for wisdom and more discernment
 They say you learn a lot if you listen, man I've been learning
 A higher purpose, that's what I'm living for nowadays
 Feel like I've been taking less, and just giving more nowadays
 Nobody let me into the building when I was knocking
 But look at me now, I'm using a different door nowadays
 I ain't cocky, I'm just confident, knowing He got me
 And if He got me, then I'm positive, no one can stop me
 And people try to ride the wave but the waters are choppy
 I seen a lot of brothers skate like we was playing hockey
 All facts, whether it's on or it's off the record
 A lot of craziness around but I'm calm and collected
 And I've been moving on the low, so they don't always see my actions
 But it's really all a journey, stay with me and see what happens
 I'm gone
