[00:17.81]Post-apocalyptic, the most hip-hop terrific
[00:19.86]Young, gifted, and black, it's never monolithic
[00:22.45]To be non-specific, some pontific
[00:25.09]On some Z. Elliott, they wanna run with it
[00:27.72]Overzealous zealots, my alias should to be rebellious
[00:30.28]'Cause I deliver on some mail-y ish
[00:33.60]The message is where the oppression is
[00:36.12]It's single mothers, pressure, and aggressive kids
[00:39.28]My rhymes'll be the Ritalin, let's get it
[00:41.18]And America's divided, the dividend is the middlemen
[00:43.83]We need to cut 'em, out, 'cause can't nobody govern the route
[00:47.90]Of my destiny, Ebony covers and lovers, I respect them like they all mothers
[00:53.13]And I'm...
[00:53.67]
[00:54.05]Ready and I don't want to wait
[00:56.16]I know my glory's on the way
[00:58.78]There's time in life where there'll be tradeoffs
[01:01.42]I give thanks, I'm not afraid
[01:04.25]I know my glory's on the way
[01:09.62]There's time in life where there'll be tradeoffs
[01:12.30]I give thanks, I'm not afraid
[01:17.07]
[01:17.42]Opps and opulence, pops said confidence
[01:19.61]Glocks and consciousness, sounds of black optimists
[01:22.56]Glasses clink, I get cheers like a toast, I'm butter baby, come close
[01:26.81]Spent years with Mos, Talib, Tariq, Jeru, and Kanye
[01:30.48]Somewhere in my Top 5 is Nas, BIG, and Andre
[01:33.52]Soundwaves of underground days
[01:35.65]We found ways to surface, bringing heaven where earth is
[01:38.71]Verses become churches, not for you to worship
[01:41.64]But to find your purpose, rhyme's a divine service
[01:44.02]Soundtracks to life, the way we find Curtis
[01:46.61]I play "The Makings of You" for my daughter in the womb
[01:49.60]Hope she still in tune, time for concrete roses to bloom
[01:53.18]And I'm
[01:53.70]
[01:54.09]Ready and I don't want to wait
[01:56.01]I know my glory's on the way
[01:58.78]There's time in life where there'll be tradeoffs
[02:01.31]I give thanks, I'm not afraid
[02:07.22]I know my glory's on the way
[02:09.55]There's time in life where there'll be tradeoffs
[02:12.42]I give thanks, I'm not afraid
[02:18.40]
[02:18.77]Know my glory's on the way
[02:20.69]There's time in life where there'll be tradeoffs
[02:24.24]I'm not afraid
[02:29.14]Know my glory's on the way
[02:31.60]There's time in life where there'll be tradeoffs
[02:35.24]I'm not afraid, not afraid
[02:48.94]I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
[02:57.02]I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
[03:07.82]I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
[03:18.65]I'm not afraid (not afraid, not afraid, not afraid)
[03:26.58]
