Raise a toast to the journey that's an ode to me
Now I'm getting what's owed to me
I put in so much over time
Now I'm putting work over sleep
I was fly before I ever went overseas
Said she's over me
Until she feels me in her ovaries
I'm in the pocket like old receipts
I'm in my bag like I'm looking for something
Somehow I'm still looking for peace
I was caught in the heat
Of the moment didn't get my degree
I got kicked out of uni what a way to succeed
Never seen my mother so disappointed
Ima prove to her your son is anointed
Gods Child Golden child
Got drive check the miles
Ima stand up guy
SNL get me now
I go in them I'm out
Goodness gracious
I got a call that my bro Mwila didn't make it
I just couldn't take it
At the same time I struggling to come to terms with the fact at 21
I was not who I hoped to become
Thinking what I have done
Man I should be on top
But when it rains, it pours
Yeah
But when it rains it pours
All that glitters ain't gold
I had my girl stressing
I embarrassed my queen
It's time I learn my lesson
It's time I show progression
You wanna see growth then I am the essence
If I'm the future that's a gift
So I rap in the present
To escape my past
Every line is a message
Tryna right my wrongs
So sick when I spit it
Put your visor on
I'm a Leo let me show you what this lion on
It can't be me that you're lying on
You know It's me their relying on
You see the crease put the iron on
I mean You see the grease that my guy is on
You ever seen a man wave the iron like a magic wand
Yes
Came from the pressure so I'm never pressed
From the outside looking in it's like I'm never stressed
Cus I hold it
All that glitters and gold and now I know it
Yes
Cus when it rains it pours
Yeah
Cus when it rains it pours
Life's a movie 'til God says cut
It's cut-throat and these words cut deep
Still a cut above the rest let this surgeon speak
And certainly
I really would've hearsed that neek
But times heals so what's it worth to me
Effortless that ain't work to me
I let the universe work for me
You see the way that karma comes round
Yeah that's a lesson learned for me
Cus it could've been worse for me
Yeah
Cus when it rains it pours
When it rains it pours
