lyrics

You only got your own

Why can't people see that it's all about the feeling
Don't know why you so concerned with all the kissing and pleasing ass
While you wanna make money-but all you ask is
What am I about, what makes me different in the class

What they doin'?
How come they so good at it, look at it
Don't you see they so good at it?
I don't know I dont get it
I was never good at it, how come they so good at it
I wish I was good at it
Imma copy all of it
Ok Imma copy all of it

You only got your own
Why compromise your tone?

Get their follows, steal their likes
Way they dress and their thunder
But you don't understand the way it really works
Under all that polish
Once you demolish the facade, break down their solid guard
Motherfucker, it ain't easy, damn it's hard

Disregard what you thought it took once upon a time
In your fairy tale poem calling it a real rhyme
The grime is what it’s missing
True stories keep it grippin'
Mad lyricism, harmonic highs that keep trippin'
Highs that keep trippin'

You only got your own
Why compromise your tone?
Cos when you make the choice
You're using your own voice

Rise above the fraud, now you know it, oh lord
Don’t be thinkin' you the king cos you found a new chord
God
Head back to the basics and face it
Genius is a blessing so stop tryna disgrace it

Embrace it, cos when it comes it swoops, oh so fleeting
Leaves your heart beating, reeling, with the need to create
Meditate, levitate your mind to a higher state
Berate your primitive inclination
Then you elevate

You only got your own
Don't compromise your tone
You gotta make the choice
To hear it in your voice
It's time to elevate
There's so much to create
You've never lost or won
You just go back to one

To the state of being original
Close to the elements
The stars, it’s empirical
Talk about the elephants
The scars of mankind on the world and each other
Talk about life and death, heaven and the world under

Life is passing, pass it on, don't hold onto to your anger
Let your ego go smile, appreciate one another
I am your brother
Different mothers may be true
But love is God, love is King
And that's what's all around you

Show how it astounds you
Cos this is what grounds you
Keep looking all around you
Cos this is what grounds you

Just take a look around you
Cos that's the thing that grounds you

Look up to the trees
Smile at the birds and bees
Get down and get dirty
Find your roots on your knees
Pray to the sun
As it rises and falls
For its the beginning, the middle
And the royal end all

Stand tall
Salute the universe
From the eye of the nebula
Your soul gains rebirth
Live and die, that's eternal
Start and end all the same
Never ending paradox
There is no end game

Take a look around you
Don't you see

Don't you see
Can't copy me
