Tradition turned tragedy transformed legacy
Lies soon realize, you lying with enemy
Greed is the seed, pride before the fall
Curses come in cursive but the writings on the wall
Nails on the chalkboard
You sound like nails on the chalkboard
Traditions and lies, greed, protocol
Sounding like nails on the chalkboard
I'm sick of these traditions, lying politicians
On mission to mislead us, please father forgive 'em
Leaders loveless, like the Wild Wild West
Covetous, tax trying to damage ya, bite like tarantula
Me, I ain't amateur, I'm avoiding the cameras
Everybody trying to keep their head up but wasting stamina
Man, sink or swim, cause these thoughts getting deeper
How can I be a believer but I don't believe the preacher
Say get your soul right while they making soul ties
The soul train can't express the sound when the soul cries
Familiar friends turn to future felons
And real talk don't exist because it's lies they tellin
Is all this aggression a blessing cause I'm being so expressive
Pray to God everyday to see the ghetto up in heaven x2
Tradition turned tragedy transformed legacy
Lies soon realize, you lying with enemy
Greed is the seed, pride before the fall
Curses come in cursive but the writings on the wall
Nails on the chalkboard
You sound like nails on the chalkboard
Traditions and lies, greed, protocol
Sounding like nails on the chalkboard
Finish school, get a 9-5, that's how we survived
New school, new rules, new cries, new lies
Why you looking at me strange when I tell you that the world changed
Women ain't the same, men gatta new game
It's all about success, they love you cause you blessed
If you meek then you weak, keep your love in your chest
You talking bout being ill, can you pay the bills
Lil Johnny and his mommy can't eat cause you got skills
What you doing with your life and why you don't have a wife
No kids either, ya boy musse shooting blanks
I'm just a 30 plus year old, trying to make euros
Be brave not a slave cause the grave full of heroes
No rapper went main stream coming where I'm from
You better off selling dreams, weed and guns
Been there, done that, seen all I can see
I'm making no apologies for being an anomaly
I'm one in a million, I'm one of a kind
One by one I'm climbing up the line
I'm one in million, I'm one of a kind
One on one I leave 'em all behind
One in a million, one of a kind
Until I'm known as the greatest of all time
That line about the greatest will make me the most hated
You could sit down and debate it after I officially make it
Tradition turned tragedy transformed legacy
Lies soon realize, you lying with enemy
Greed is the seed, pride before the fall
Curses come in cursive but the writings on the wall
Nails on the chalkboard
You sound like nails on the chalkboard
Traditions and lies, greed, protocol
Sounding like nails on the chalkboard
