Have you done it lately?
Made sure that you weren't crazy?
Think I have some hunches maybe
Let this go 180
I don't want no trouble saying
That we have to turn around
Take a look right you're tracks
What have you been laying down?
Say it now!
Not much has changed,
Yet I still don't feel the same
Evolution of the brain,
Constantly in scholar frames
Footsteps on longer paved road with a rich past
Follow problems and it look like they go where the shifts at
Sift that!
I could point to where the lies are,
Tell the judge I want a sidebar
My case was moving under eyes
Far and wide all part of a vibe, sorry
I don't flex with the rarris's
The raps are more than hobbies
And you should know the mission
That's breathe life into bodies Yuh!
I lay it all down
I lay it all
I lay it all down
I lay it all, I lay it all
Down, Down, Down!
All my life I got the lessons
Thinking my life here was lesser
Turned to God with confessions
That brought me to studio sessions
That's what my life been about bout
That's what I'm giving you now,
That's what I'm giving you now,
I lay it all down...
I put it all in my notepad
Every beat left with a toe tag
Raspy voice, givin' 'em O's swag
Shoutout to Royce, I'm a throw back
I had a choice, I could go back
And be consumed by my own wrath
Yet I chose none of the low paths
Now I kick gravel at my old past
Road less traveled, took it, no rearview
All stress battled, put it on here too
I am not cattle, rather one to "steer" through
Ain't nobody saddle me up so I could appear cool, huh
Always thank God I got hip-hop
Therapy to write till my wrist stop
Blood, sweat, and tears ya boy drip-drop
Brought ya boy here to my tip-top
Never let lips lock, speak how I really feel
Never get TikTok, reach how I really heal
Timeless, oldest of bars still appeal
Rhymes lift, holdin' the raw minerals
Who I be, not a learned art
Easy like 1-2-3, when the verse start
Till the day I'm deceased in a hearse car
I'll stay OT with a firm heart, like
I lay it all down
I lay it all
I lay it all down
I lay it all, I lay it all
Down, Down, Down!
All my life I got the lessons
Thinking my life here was lesser
Turned to God with confessions
That brought me to studio sessions
That's what my life been about bout
That's what I'm giving you now,
That's what I'm giving you now,
I lay it all down...
