[00:03.20]You know I had to say something
[00:05.55]Jin do I wait for the beat to drop
[00:08.65]Or do I start here
[00:10.50]Check it forget waitin'
[00:12.86]This ain't a feature this is my tape
[00:14.60]Time waits for no man
[00:15.90]So why the heck should I wait
[00:17.55]I could probably run this town if I'd like
[00:19.36]But I'm straight
[00:20.45]Take a walk in my shoes if you choose size 8
[00:23.16]You might just feel the presence of the
[00:24.70]Holy spirit
[00:26.10]They say I'm a changed man
[00:27.40]If the shoe fits wear it
[00:28.94]I used to think that this was just all entertainment
[00:31.69]So I did and said anything
[00:33.44]I could get away with
[00:34.58]Any consequences
[00:35.79]I'm the one that's gotta live with it
[00:37.36]The last thing
[00:38.31]I'm tryna be now is a hypocrite
[00:40.42]Cause it boils down to way more than
[00:42.22]What I write ultimately
[00:43.13]I'm defined by how
[00:45.03]I live my life
[00:45.83]Knew I had to change my ways and believe in what's right
[00:48.29]'Til this day
[00:48.94]I still got my own demons to fight
[00:50.94]If I had to do it on my own no doubt
[00:53.35]I'd be a goner
[00:54.34]But I will be victorious cause
[00:55.93]God is in my corner
[00:57.09]The freedom of expression is truly a gift
[00:59.53]It can be used to destroy or used to uplift
[01:02.57]If I had to list my flaws there's plenty
[01:05.04]I could mention
[01:05.85]But through it all
[01:06.74]I never had any bad intentions
[01:08.54]Never thought the youth would take heed to
[01:10.69]What I say first and foremost
[01:11.69]I apologize for leadin' you astray
[01:14.25]Movin' right along
[01:15.45]Now's the time to right the wrongs
[01:17.14]So I think long and hard before
[01:18.60]I start to write a song
[01:19.76]Cause as an artist for every track that you create
[01:22.60]Ain't no way to know the type of impact you can make
[01:25.19]On one person or society as a whole
[01:28.24]I'm hopin' through these lines you can see inside my soul
[01:30.89]Take a long hard look and you'll start to see the light
[01:33.69]It's an autobiographical story of my life
[01:36.49]On the cover just a plain book here's the missin' factor
[01:39.49]I'm still the same book y'all just on a different chapter
[01:42.37]The next generation is headed for disaster
[01:45.07]Rappers blamin' parents and the parents blame the rappers
[01:48.08]A lack of substance
[01:49.23]What you hear is so hollow
[01:50.67]I feel you you ain't here to be nobody's role model
[01:53.47]I know you're tryna eat no lie so am I
[01:55.92]You shouldn't be offended
[01:57.38]If what I say just don't apply
[01:59.19]We need more of the truth than the game instead of less
[02:01.78]It's bigger than
[02:02.44]Hiphop dead
[02:03.43]Prez said it best
[02:04.69]You're probly listenin'
[02:05.93]Like who's this guy to tell me how to live
[02:07.53]You're right
[02:08.18]I don't know you but
[02:08.94]I know I'm positive
[02:10.50]If it's in my power to extend a helpin' hand
[02:13.25]Not even as a rapper but as a fellow man
[02:16.14]This is good versus evil it's time to choose a side
[02:19.44]I will never be perfect but at least
[02:21.03]I know I tried
[02:23.08]Uh say something

You know I had to say something
Jin do I wait for the beat to drop
Or do I start here
Check it forget waitin'
This ain't a feature this is my tape
Time waits for no man
So why the heck should I wait
I could probably run this town if I'd like
But I'm straight
Take a walk in my shoes if you choose size 8
