BLZ Smooth - Moa Laif Lyrics

A legend was born, July of '97
It was a blessin' up above from the heavens
He thanks God for lettin' him see 27
It's a gift like some brand new XI's
His momma made it state side back in '84
Pops later did the same in 1994
A decade apart, they took the same journey
When they finally made it, it was like they won the tourney
Born to a pair of Caribbean Immigrants
Who would a thought that he'd be rappin' on these instruments?
Creatin' art that works the mind, issa stimulant
It was clear from birth that his greatness was imminent
He goes hard so he can make his ancestors proud
Always drawin' crowds, cheerin' for him real loud
He's got the whole Caribbean, standin' tall behind him
He puts trust in God, knowin' that he'll always guide 'em
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
Ever since the 4th grade, he dreamed of playin' pro ball
He dreamed of playin' on the same court as John Wall
Woulda been grateful for a full ride at Seton Hall
Sadly no college team ever made a call
So outside of hoops, he had to figure out who he was
Had to learn all the things a great man does
He tried college, but wasn't feelin' it
Lost all his joy, cuz school was stealin' it
At first, couldn't find the appeal in it
Had a blurry vision, wasn't seein' it
In the real world, he was so lost
Not knowin' his decisions had a cost
Hit a crossroads with no sense of direction
All that was goin' through his mind was perplexion
Went back to school, and he finished
Chances of becomin' a statistic diminished
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
He got a good job, started doin' well
But still felt incomplete, like a empty shell
He knew his life wasn't meant to be average
Had to figure out how to go hard like a savage
2 years ago, made connections, started writin' rhymes
Perfect timin', got him through a tough time
Rough start though, didn't make a dime
He even contemplated quittin' sometimes
But he didn't though, he just stuck it out
Even though he's still workin' tryna make it out
Had to ball out and show the world what he was all about
He stayed true to himself and made his own rout
Found his purpose, and fulfillment
Usin' his God given gift to be brilliant
When he locks in, you can watch him shine
Legacy gon age well like it's fine wine
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Bad Mon, Moa Laif
Moa Laif Rood Bwai, Moa Laif
