Standing Ovation

Why the desperate need for an applause?

I'll wait

Is she the GOAT here well it's safe to assume

Everybody panic when I step in the room

And I can feel that shxt a mile off

Niggas is rapping about pieces

People are really dying is that what needed

I can't save your soul you need Jesus

Tell me please

Why the desperate need to be remembered?

Everybody knowing what you've done

How far you've come

I'm guilty it's a little self centred

People change when it's about personal gain

I stay in my lane cos I'm not done with the checks

Give me what I deserve and not speak on the rest

Don't know what has occurred then do not aimlessly guess

It's a gift and a curse to this pretty and blessed

Blessed blessed blessed

So blessed

Used to plug that £20 mic into the back of the Mac Mac Mac

Just so you can hear my voice

Always knew this was my calling but I'm here by choice

And things change

Shxt been dark for a minute I'm (blessed)

Delirious it's hard to function on this winners time

Mouths to feed my nigga

Scripts to read my nigga

Double life living overseas my nigga shxt

Left home for it

Jasmine just had a daughter man she's so gorgeous

Told me life is giving life and I'm so for it

Maybe one day

Nothing's more important and family's where the love stays

Dealing with society's pressures is one thing

Let alone all of the problems that funds bring

But no stress

Understand it comes with the process

I follow my intuition cause it knows best

I'm so used to getting it on my own yes

I know my people wanna see me win

I'd never let you down

Standing ovation for the one who's wearing the crown

I got royalty In my blood I was born great

Don't allow anyone to undermine your fate

You've awoken the fearless

High beams and lucid dreams

Don't be so obsessed with me

You think you know what's best for me

Take my energy come to find there's nothing left of me

Went from being small time to becoming my own entity

Went from being broke as fxck and trying to find identity

To buying the finer things isolating memories

What is it I'm meant to be

I think I need a standing ovation

Over 10 years in the game I been patient

God has always told me to be myself

Let go and free yourself

Tell the truth a shame Satan

Know I gotta pave the way for the next generation

That's coming up under me and I love to see it

thought I was bluffing

Didn't see it it coming

Hold up

Think this is cold you ain't see nothing

The glow up

All the discussing

But I don't let it distract me

Load the pen up cock it back and get to bussin

Standing up to who I make the scene lie down

Get it how I live it how it bees right now

I got another 20 in the shxt I'm cemented

Take over businesses tell the kids start investing

We built the pyramids can't you see what we are blessed with

From the hieroglyphics to the hood lyricist

Priest the Imams

The Good Books you live with

The Rumi quotes

The elder sisters

The tribal mantras

The jazz players

Holistic doctors

Spiritual teachers

Doers and the Dulas

The protectors and the rulers

The kids of the future

The immortal soldiers

And the fearless protesters

To the motivation speakers

And the honest black leaders

The divine healers

The everyday low paid believers

The overachievers in the shadow of the gate keepers

Came down to teach us

Blessed blessed blessed

Blessed blessed blessed

All these trophy's in the crib got em sitting nice (blessed blessed blessed)

After all the hard work that we put inside

Everybody claim to be boss but I'm a different kind

Hate it or love it we rise above it
