"FACE UP II"

Head high, face to the Lord

Hard times, still can't afford

Live in the center of my struggle, I ain't moved from it

I told my grandma that I miss her, I can't feel numb

That's why I got my head high

Always keep my head high

Yo

Yo

Shine ****

Ain't no shade for sons, you a one of one

My mama son, Sheeda's only one, get the loudest love

I'm out in pub, streaming from my eyes

Scream cuz I'm alive

My fathers side always hold me down, wear that name with pride

I stayed in line 'til I read the course, lay in this bed of sorts

I'm headed for the finish, time rewinding when I pivot

See the same shit, new face, different language

So I just change shit, my lane ain't just entertainment

I got supporters at my shows, they throw me a couple bones, in fact

They love the songs, relisten when they get home

Come back, I give you everything I got to give

I lose my life before I give up, I'm my father's kid

Stopped and took the time to build, brothers pick me up when I be falling short

Old friends that didn't call no more, they falling out the story

Well fuck 'em

Persevere by any means

I'm nice with my raps, but I'm nicer with my team

If life is but a dream then I'm gently down the stream

Sailing on a trail of tears, I represent they genes

All them years I never knew my uncle was a fiend

He was in and out of jail, would wonder why I didn't see him

Excel and spread sheets made of linen and silks

Need a healthy comforter in this world full of filth

Even with no dollars you can make change

Used to get called Baby Durantula by Nate James

Nowadays people call me Watty, that's my stage name

That's my family name, and you know I love my family mane

I love everybody, I mean everybody

I'm a soul in a body I'm in everybody

Center of the cypher, that's where the hip-hop lives

I said Norf Carolina this where Hip-Hop is, ya heard?

Touch base with Khalil Nasim, like I tagged a wall

Locked in focused with no adderal

We came too far, it's the things unseen that nobody saw

That made us who we are, undiscovered superstars

Lift the cover, you won't see us there, we tend to disappear

The Disappearing Act, but our actions keep us in the clear

'Cause what you put into this world tends to come around

We water the grass roots and hold the community down

When we support each other, from sisters to brothers

Organize and rediscover, what it means to love another

We'll truly evolve, and I'm not saying every problem is solved

But everybody goes through something need somebody to call

Call cuz
