Cassius Clay (feat. Dave)

Made this happen, I was the cause Hand me the baton, hand me the torch Running the game like it's a sport But all I got in this world is my word and my balls, yeah Said Scarface, yeah GoodFellas learn the hard way Never had a godfather or my padres So I went and got some margellas for my marjay 'Cause it's been graveyard shifts since I put my dad in his grave Made it out of the maze, I'm in amazement No haram, I go ham when I pray 'Cah there's no real helping hand when handling pain If God made man in his image, I'ma create I'ma be great, mi casa, su casa, Cassius Clay Rumble in the jungle, I'm from the land of the brave Souls in the sea, I rode in the deep, now we're the wave Yo, Dave, man, I still remember conversations About awards and their invalid validation I got the world in my hands, that's world domination Man, I'm not pop, we're just popping to the population And I've got dreams and ambitions, people that listen Love the fans 'cause all I had was fiends and a kitchen I'm in Dior, guess I'm preachin' in Christian My pockets deep but my genes full of riches, yeah Descendants of a king I got people who depend on me, dependants of a king My teacher mentioned credit, never said it was a thing Why you think the mortgage lender isn't lending her a thing? Yeah From a real estate to real estate Made sure I ate with my niggas before the dinner dates, yeah I had so much on my plate Now I'm eating like a king, had to work like a slave Imagine if we never imagined this Imagine if our imaginations couldn't fathom it Imagine if the butterfly effect was a caterpillar In the Garden of Eden by the tree where the apple is I'm way too talented To still be in the sticks where there's javelins I'm Olympic, on Mount Olympus's peak At the top it's only us, I'm with my g's But I ain't gotta be high, there's higher powers than me It's A-V I fell asleep and spoke to MJ And he told me, "Heal the world, make it a better place" 'Nuff red jackets in my ends, it's the end days Why you think I'm rollin' with trendsetters that set pace? Grew up in a race with the racists A place where they wanna replace us I'm patient but then I'm impatient God's grace has been ever so gracious Something to say but I'm the savior 'cause I'm in the Matrix An alien 'cause I'm in a spaceship I saw my niggas on slave ships I remember tellin' Whitney, "You're my queen" I was selling Bobby New Edition on my street Feds were taking pictures, taking pictures of my team But I saw the bigger picture, the depiction of my dreams It was nightmares when we lost Mo and Leng Had a nigga feelin' outta place at his home address I'm the first nigga with insomnia who overslept I paid 70 in taxes, it don't match what I owe to them Man, it's crazy Lately, I see a lot of man tryna play me I ain't a escort but it's fuck you, pay me Deja vu every time that I get a break, g I used to visualise my reality in a daydream Dream to be happy, are you happy with a dream? Team full of happy niggas, are you happy with your team? How many man had talent and ended up on the street? He didn't act on it, now he looks unhappy with the scene Seen, I mean happy Halloween Me and the team branched out from selling leaves If my life was a film The title on its release would have to be "Just Read This One Incredible Scene" I ain't had a break since the pedal bike in my teens So I wouldn't lose sleep if you couldn't sell me a dream I'm tighter than these guys, it's all lies that they're feeding The seeds of deceit grew the tree in the treason No reason for the way that you're living, make a decision I hate mediocrity Last dream I had, I saw Socrates He told me he believes in my philosophy I just do numbers, I ain't waitin' on the lottery (nah) And "best on the scene" The only thing that follows when you're mentioning me Man invest in a girl when interested But she ain't invested if she don't say, "invest in in your dream" You invest for your queen, I invest for the queen There's a big fucking difference When I was 18, I was six-figure nigga, trigger-happy, I'ma killer For dinners, we ate livers and corn beef I work in silence, my touch Midas, yes Colour isn't real but don't let 'em divide us We're all blacks tryna run our own race In our own way, feeling pressure from our own race He's strugglin' to relate In a black man's eyes see pride, see pain See joy, see days of hardship You wanna be black but you don't know what dark is You want our blood but you don't know what heart is How could he draw me out if he don't know what art is? I'm Picasso, diss me and man know, it's kidnap Nuttin' but red paint when the van goes I don't make pop art, also And these kicks that I wore, holed up I had a tough upbringing and hard days, I saw those Weight on my chest, only right I got a tour so Be happy for me, I'm happy to see I happen to be the only one that made it happen for me As a child I saw loss, now I'm a man in defeat Outstanding, I stand for something when I stand on a beat (Jason Julian, that's my guy)
