about

This Track was inspired by my cousin Victoria & Javi who taught me to always look at my mind like a rubber band and allow it to stretch so you can grow.

lyrics

Yea... Even when you think your drowning you aint fucking drowning.... You gota stretch it.... Yea.... Look..

Verse 1.

Dreams bigger then the house that I grew up in
Bigger then the city where you lose or win
1 of a kind born leader you can never get a duplicate
doubted by my own what I thought became lucrative
every night I prayed
every night I slaved
knew I had to pay
for my way to be paved
sight seeker & my mind deeper
ego killer mind strong with divine features
while on scene
watch for Judas greed
designed to fail aint the way I think
now I have a daughter
pray I get to see her at the alter
educated woman watching her chase all her dreams
pray on my knees while the iii on my jeans
vision seen
time for war
never hit the floor
lions roar baby
I'm in your face like its maybelline
crucified today later applaud for my bravery
if life doesn't murder me I pray I age gracefully

Hook.

Call it how I see it (I'ma do it big)
Another body On the cement (I'ma do it big)
Another homie in the precinct (I'ma do it big)
Put that on my mama (I'ma do it big)

Verse 2.

It took me time
turned my pain into a goldmine
rap gave us stories but nobody ever told mine
I told my granny on her death bed
have her last name attached to some legendary changes
before they knock my brains out of my braids
make a million
fuck on my bitch
& blow on my haze
not 1 bit of gangsta I'm just stuck in my ways
hope to be thuggin in my mansion
Colorado Branson
men cover their face like a phantom
for the ransom
life is pretty ugly but I got to stay handsome
Dinner date with karma death is her sister
fuck them both Its just me against the world til the ending
Put my trust in the devil with the white camrey
pray I reap what I sow start living where the sights sandy
my girl want to fuck me more then being eye candy
give my mama credit for the way that I parent
but I'm more like my dad that's apparent
til I parish
out jumanji I'ma cherish
Every moment I'm fearless
let my mind stretch
with my time length
cause I gotta do it big that's what God said

Hook.

Call it how I see it (I'ma do it big)
Another body On the cement (I'ma do it big)
Another homie in the precinct (I'ma do it big)
Put that on my mama (I'ma do it big)
