Lyrics Code of Lamar - Trav Da Poet

Rewind the tape of my life, let it replay
Divine takes for insight, memory freeway
To understand the present, study the past
Pass the test for lessons, be in front of the class
The learning T, formed my excursions as a person
Discerning purpose through immersion, the version
Of myself updating at a higher rate
Finding my wealth in an inspired state
Widening my shelf in a tighter space
Applying stealth tactics to acquire fate
Conquered insurmountable odds like Gideon
Won first with a powerful God against plenty men
True focus and determination beats numbers
Stronger than Sparta, the original three hundred
King Leonidas mixed with Titus
Following Paul despite opposing titans
Inside us resides the brightest light
To guide us through plight and the darkest nights
The hardest fights the ones that park your sight
Invoke fear, puff up pride, induce fight or flight
Calm demeanor needed in the mist of the storm
Knowing it won't prosper when the fist is formed
Quieting the winds, walking on water
Delighting in friends, but establishing order
Knowing the code to move around in this matrix
Line by line logically debugging the fakeness
Unfolding the scroll, reading off ancient rolls
Knowing your role, being a sanctum to pols
Not anxious for acceptance or validation
Those taint us, block blessings and add aggravation
Solomon's wisdom, David's psalms my ode from afar
Shaped my identity, code of Lamar

Put my heart and soul in these verses
And use'em all to get by
Put my heart and soul in these verses
Take a look at my mind
Questioning God
Is equivalent to questioning time
And I don't have time for that anymore
Anymore

I against I
Scraping the sky
As I cement demolition as a skill of mine
Tactics of a pathological liar
Filling music with darkest desires
Giving Cupid archer of fire
Dishonorable Men
Harder to repent
Armor bent
Shots left the barrel monkeys on my back were in
Addiction to the sadness
Ravaging in the pad as if any passages could pass for the damage
I crash on the planet
I was mistaken for an asteroid
Turns out I'm a shooting star, story of a Black Boy
Burnt out the picture
Hurts now that word sounds so different
Wishing I was experienced with this 'cause death is imminent
Each time I invest in a rhyme
Pyramid schemes guarantee my reinvention
My intention was investigate interior
Testing the weight of my literature
All bad
Dark matter
Dog captive
Put it down and I'm lifting it up like
Lazaurus
Draggin' it like Targaryen
And the track is crisp like passion thick like Nazareth, when he taught parables
Forgive for they know not, what they do
Cast the lots, and drop the jewels
Mash the crops, concoct the food
Act like Pac at 22
Blast the cops, and bomb the fools
Try to stop, I'm hunting you
God watch, I'm punching thru
You under mind control
I'll just blow this hookah knowing I may die alone
How strong ya' beliefs is
Jump in the deep end
As a leap of faith
Keep the change
Wage war on the non-believers
Shift ya' self esteem
Love yourself, and keep dreaming
Slzzpy, Uh

Put my heart and soul in these verses
And use'em all to get by
Put my heart and soul in these verses
Take a look at my mind
Questioning God
Is equivalent to questioning time
And I don't have time for that anymore
Anymore
