Lyrics The Hip Hop Advocate II - ReachingNOVA

I keep my album on play
I'm living every day
I ain't pulling from the past
I got so much more to say
I don't do this just to prove another wrong
I've got family to feed
Couple things I don't struggle with
Jealousy and greed
Young legend stay focused
I work magic with my words like hocus pocus
My hands not the best but none of my cards are jokers
I'll always use my mind I'm never be on some broke shit again
Tryna do new things no need to go where I went
Black sand beaches
Terre d'hermes cologne has your lady reaching
I bet your hubby googles that so he could add the feature
They love that ego talk they also love when I be preaching
Lady friends telling Queen V your man's a keeper
And Queen V telling me continue killing speakers
Whatever made you think leaving me would make me weaker?
I lost friends gained peace now I kick my feet up
Chicken waffles Velvet Tacos when I'm out in Houston
Just me, Preme, Jay Browne, and our love for music
I'm with the advocates and Hip Hop is the fucking movement
These bars rare I'm not the rapper that'll keep reusing
A wordsmith in it's purest
Shit was meant to be the moment I escaped the uterus
Likely be the reason when they listen they say who is this?
Then they get impressed again when they hear all my newer shit
Ladies want my chick well I guess I'm having two of them
All that talent in you got to know just what to do with it
Oh you don't like me either?
Cool keep it moving then
I ain't meant for everyone my energy's exuberant
Aye

Every time I take off out the city baby girl you know I think of you
Aye, I'm living proof
Go and focus on your dreams man that shit come true
Yeah, a lot of nights
I wasn't sure, that transformed to a lot of lights
Twenty nine where I'm from that's a lot of life
He put that on the line? his word is not of price
You know I stick to the plan
I've seen ghettos and sands
Gotten jumped and not ran
Paid in karma for scams
Almost losing my mom
Talked to God on command
Those doctors said it's a dub
Tears puddled my hands
I've seen them take out a gun
Rob a man where he stands
He'd rather fight and not run
Prolly hoping it jams
But that was life in the slums
That was life where I'm from
Another visit to Rikers it's only right that I come
I pray you find you a voice
Never downplay a choice
Decide and know where you're going cus time gets wasted the most
Look the word is your stage go and make it a show
Masking all those emotions got you distorting the glow
