Joyner Lucas real powerful artist

What is it about him that you like?

He was saying a lot of lines that I saw some of me in that

But at the same time it was different because it was like he's not compromising bars to tell his story

He's still got complexity in there

Like he's taking you on his journey

And I never snapped out of that journey 'til it was over

And I was like "Yo this kid is ******* incredible"

Straight out the mud the kitchen is dirty just hit up the plug

And copped me a thirty I'm not who I was

The vision was blurry I'm seein' **** clear that picture is murky

When I was a kid I thought I was worthy of feelin' some love

But love ain't deserve me I wish I knew then that lovin' would hurt me

I'd sever that bridge before it can burn me

My mama was hard my daddy concerned

He was beatin' my ass ain't show me no mercy

Thought he was Joe them whippers were dirty

He tried to make music the **** wasn't workin'

He taught me to rap was practicin' early

I wanted a dad but he never earned me

Traded his sons for power of attorney

I traded his love for diamonds and pressure

I'm not who you knew don't act like you know me

A lot of **** change I'm not like the old me

The money and fame'll never control me

But I went through things I wish you done told me

I still need the change from niggas who owe me

I won't take the blame for callin' you broski

That's really your name you used to be brodie

But now you a lame you niggas can blow me

A whole lot of money a whole lot of fakes

Red dot on your body I know how to trace

Brr

I don't really stunt 'cause I know how to shake

If I wanna stunt I just pull out the safe

Whole lot of cake and I know how bake

Parkin' lot pimpin' I pull out the Wraith

And bury you niggas and pull out the rake

You showin' your card but you still not an ace

Some niggas tell me I remind 'em of Em

The MMLP album had me on ten

The **** I was goin' through made me a stan

A lot of that pain I been still holdin' in

Niggas who hate him the same ones who hate me

Then smile in my face and be shakin' my hand

Crazy how even back then

Always knew that one day I'd relate to the way that I am

Ayy ayy

That's the way that I am

Joyner Joyner Joyner Joyner Joyner

It's the way that I am

Uh uh uh uh uh

It's the way that I am

Crazy how even back then

Always knew that one day I'd relate to the way that I am

Ayy ayy

Takin' a chance I'm shakin' the dice
