Resonate

I let it breathe
I let it breathe
Knowledge
Feeling like it's all for the taking
The price gon' come, what you paying?
But don't forget about the overhead and maintenance
To grow the operation, it's gon' take some motivation
Playing your cards right
And saving ain't gon' save you when you're sinking
Still connected like a chain together, me and mines linking
Been to hell and back before, we still riding like a Lincoln
Giving the gospel to apostles like a pastor or a deacon
Master mine, surround and seeking more than what they have shown
An abundance of elegance in the ways that I've grown
The omittance of arrogance, I've corrected my tone
Feel like Rocky, I'm boxing like I'm Sylvester Stallone
But they wanna stop me and drop me to knock me off of my throne
Digging a ditch for my body instead of building their own
The only one, the original, I could never be cloned
Commiserate with the miserable, never that, I'm at peace
These conversation pieces written over audible beats
Now let it breathe
Let it ventilate
Had to take a second just to set the record straight
Had to set another standard just to elevate
Let the message sink in, let it resonate
Let it resonate
Let it ventilate
Had to take a second just to set the record straight
Had to set another standard just to elevate
Let the message sink in, let it resonate
Let it resonate
Set the example, I can't do that, I am saint and sinner
Winner and loser at the same time, I see the big picture
Misconstrued are my attempts, misunderstood is my vision
Aligned with the stars, I am one that's universally gifted
Never dismissive of the lesser or the ones [?]
Chain-smoking like we in a rehab, it's the relax
I know that feeling when you feel as though you ain't gon' bounce back
That wall's closing in to suffocate and kill you again
Taking the air out of your lungs but you still fight like a champ
Never go throwing in the towel, just know there's always a chance
I'm playing my hand into this flush, the rush I feel it for sure
But the more I try to bury it, the more it eats at my core
For the life of me it's hard to see myself as just either or
Gotta pick a side before you going to war, like a sport
Let it ventilate
Had to take a second just to set the record straight
Had to set another standard just to elevate
Let the message sink in, let it resonate
Let it resonate
Let it ventilate
Had to take a second just to set the record straight
Had to set another standard just to elevate
Let the message sink in, let it resonate
Let it resonate
