Lyrics August 22nd, 2019 - Tywan Bell

Aquafina, uhh aaa
Nah we finna get straight to it
Yeah, y'all can hear me, y'all hear me good?
Ight wanna talk to y'all real quick
Let's, let's talk real quick
Yeah

I Been working 40 hours a week
Now I'm in the studio Producing, Songwriting, and Audio Engineering
I would make a lot of noise, but they wouldn't listen
So now I'm on the road passing out my CD's
I been thinking so long that my thoughts turned to 3-D
Triple time that's a 3 piece, wit' some sweet tea it's Bo-Time
I gotta eat and coming back for seconds
Never full or got a stomach ache

I'ma always feed my people they don't have to wait
When I make it to my destination, I can't take a break
Plus my circle small, never trust a snake
'Cause when the money come around, they gon' want the cake for themself
But what's a handout, I don't know no help was a tough beginning
I stay humble and confident, but never cocky
Up at 5 am nothing could really stop me, but only God himself

He showed me how to make a situation positive
Non Derogative nor deceptive, if I could interject it
And sorry for the interruption I apologize
But this is something that I gotta say, I gotta get it off my mind
Honestly I'm feeling like I'm seeing hell and heaven at the same time
In 2 perspectives, 1 in 4k, 2nd in 1080

So let me step back, collect my thoughts and start painting
A image that couldn't be duplicated by a copycat
I'm a father figure if you copy that
No pun intended, just direct like a twitter mention
Speaking truth wit' the pen came from the pencil

'Cause all my life I been tryna make a difference in the system
That was meant to fill every cell in the prison
'Cause a black man wit' too much power is a death sentence
That's cut throat, no Gillette, better stop the bleeding
We're still oppressed wit' a gun pointed to our chest
Behind a crocked cop in a pig vest

But than we turn around and kill a brother in the hood
Over what he repping, let's come together put down every single weapon
We're not suppose to make it past 25
In this setting wit' a felon or in the grave
You got Young Minds throwing they whole life away for a pair of J's or a murder charge
It's a great cost, but they need guidance
At 21, I didn't know I would speak some knowledge
I feel the lord got me here for a bigger purpose
Bigger than you and me seen at the surface

It's not a 360 deal when I say these verses
All me no hands on deck at the shoreline
It's not about the profit, it's about my people dying from a bullet
Coming out that 22 wit' 2 bullet holes in yo chest, 'Cause you barely moved
The boy's claim he was looking down a barrel and feared for his life
Now a dead father on the news
In the front seat wit' a child in the back, and the wife in the right seat

And if you really think about it, it can be compared to slavery
When a black man got separated from the woman
That broke the foundation of the black family tree

Straight forward no, synonyms wit' some similes
To paint the conclusion, by the time the beat over
You gon run it back, just to catch what I said
20 steps I might just double that, for the hell of it
As I speak some facts, 'Cause I never lost sight in the dark
20-20 vision as I change your perspective of the matrix
That we living in on the daily
Y'all can call me the "Step-Father" for the youth, no mind tricks

I might just have to reach Christ Conscious
When I drop a bomb or a line, NO Nuke Town
Perfecting every word wit' the beat on repeat
In hope I spark a mind, fuck the recognition
Rather change lives for the better
Even if I never see a comma, I'ma get my point across

To ya limbic system, through your ear canal from ya headphones
Connected to ya phone, now it's time to lead the way
Cause an intervention, shake the axis of the solar system

Still level headed elevating on a incline as I freeze time in the hourglass
So unorthodox of myself, 3rd point of view slaying tracks
I don't need no help
Next MC Tywan Bell And I'm Gone

And I'm gone, and I'm gone, falling in the zone, ayy
Uhh aaa

I don't think they was ready for all of that
Whatchu mean they wasn't ready for all that?
I mean you just drop knowledge
I mean am I lying though?
Nah you ain't capping
Ight then
Hahahaaaaa
