Out On My Shield

Power in threes Belief is the coward's disease I got plenty in me Enough to make cowardice cease Put all my demons in chokeholds Like a fight with Khabib Now I'm living the vision that young me was dying to see Here's my genesis I had make outta dust the man I was dying to be When Jermaine Cole wrote about havin' no role models Must have been writin' to me Grew up without many skinfolk Most of 'em hadn't arrived on the scene The only black child they had seen But some of 'em throwin' a slur was browner than me Yeah I'm from where if you get stopped on a road And you don't carry the money that folds The po might pull out a heater and make your whole body go cold That's how I know that Any moment you might have to surrender your soul So there's no fear in my fight And I'mma keep fighting until I get put in a hole Had to let go Of the bear trap cuttin' off my tendons God showed me it was my own self hatred cuttin' off my blessings So don't talk sideways in my mentions If it ain't growth, it ain't my section If it ain't gold, it ain't my essence Didn't you know? I came out alive I'm one of a mill I did not yield Suffered behind closed doors Now I shine when I'm out in the field If you a snake, get under my heel Yeah When I go in, I'm in it for real If I go out, It's out on my shield If I go out, I'm out on my Go out on my shield Out on my shield Out on my If I go out, I'm out on my shield Go out on my shield Out on my shield Out on my If I go out, I'm out on my Out on my shield Walkin' with Adonai still Can I live off of my feels? I wasn't called a lie Real This is now all I know In a world of casualties from fallacies And formalities It just feels like we've been here before Feels like I done started over Flow state it feels automotive One option I've been locked in But clock keeps on runnin' over No reset Deep breaths Sink on swim, no regress Seekin' Him on like each step Who cares what they reject? Truth comes out when the sun comes down Everybody jump deep thinking that they won't drown I don't really wanna speak if it ain't for the now Any time there's a peep than they think it's profound Can't keep up what we just had to run up We've been here since way before the sun up Dumb for thinkin' lot Cause to come up God's hands have left it on the field Real life and this ain't for the thrills I came out alive I'm one of a mill I did not yield Suffered behind closed doors Now I shine when I'm out in the field If you a snake, get under my heel Yeah When I go in, I'm in it for real If I go out, It's out on my shield If I go out, I'm out on my I did not yield Suffered behind closed doors Now I shine when I'm out in the field If you a snake, get under my heel Yeah When I go in, I'm in it for real If I go out, It's out on my shield If I go out, I'm out on my Go out on my shield Out on my shield Out on my If I go out, I'm out on my shield Go out on my shield Out on my shield Out on my If I go out, I'm out on my Out on my shield Target my demons Countin' my kills Count on my team Talk about real If you ain't God I will not kneel There ain't no pain That I won't feel All of my dreams Makin' em real When I go in I'm in 'til I keel And If I go out I go out on my shield Out on my
