Testo Resilient - Substantial
Testo della canzone Resilient (Substantial), tratta dall'album Home is Where the Art Is (10th Anniversary Edition)
The television say that I'm supposed to be a crook
The message is the same on every station that I look
Gonna hide something from me, they say put it in a book
Cause that's the last place that a simpleton would look
But sorry to disappoint, never been to the clink
Known to kill shit, just not the way that you think
And not afraid to do just that, I ain't stupid
Some get brain, they're not scared to use it
That there is foolish, you got me mistaken
Got too much love to waste my life hatin'
Supposed to rhyme about the money I be makin'
Berzerk, Chef Ste, my G's strictly cakin'
But if I did that then clearly I'd be fakin'
Instead I rhyme about the difference I be makin'
Supposed to be a rapper, I'm an emcee
You'd be one too if you knew your history
We went from toastin', boastin' to loafin'
Pioneers pissed that they left the door open
We're supposed to make them proud, I still plan to
By kickin' all these lame ones out, substantial
Supposed to be a Twitterin', absentee father
But I can't figure what's more precious than my daughter
Nada, develop her mind so she's smarter
Destined to do great things like her father
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Brilliant (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Resilient (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Brilliant (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Resilient (yes)
I'm supposed to be homeless
Slept on the floors of my brothers, no Jonas
So I ain't thinkin' about opponents
Went from couch surfer to a home owner
Yeah, where I'm from that's called progress
I'm the truth indeed, I plead no contest
I'm supposed to be a thief, no conscience
Only stole the show at sold out concerts
And never sold any kind of
Contraband to no man, no ganja
Don't let the locks fool you, y'all got me twisted
No slice, no stereotype, no statistic
Shape of a ship out in this game
Take a little off the top, go against the grain
And keep my cuts bold, refuse to be faded
But when you're green's light you're usually jaded
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Brilliant (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Resilient (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Brilliant (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Resilient (yes)
I'm supposed to be a failure
But I catch breaks like a breath of
Fresh air and the snare's my inhaler
Brought a brother back when I should have been silenced
I'm supposed to be a victim of gun violence, thrice
But my spirit's defiant
The Earth gave birth to a sun with a vibrant light
But my heart should be black
Overcompensatin' for everything that I lack
In fact I'm the polar opposite of that
But they act like I only play sports and sell crack
And/or rap, I can be that and much more
Came a long way though they tried to leave me cut short
Hard work pays, what I need luck for?
Guess I was supposed to be scared of a shut door
Can't halt my train of thought, conductor
Express lines nonstop when tracks cut off
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Brilliant (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Resilient (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Brilliant (yes)
Speak about it, then I be about it
Where would I be without it? Resilient (yes)
Brilliant, resilient
