Lyrics Paradigm - Yung Senju

It's okay
If I don't make it to the end of the day
It's okay
If years from my canvas still stays blank
I learned that it's okay
If I'm never at the top, what to say
Yeah it's okay
If I can't be an emperor, like Shanks

In the studio at 4 am writing and making beats
Told the homies we gon' make it, I'm not gonna taste defeat
Or feel conceit
I know that my future is not concrete
Imma rap all of these written rhymes until my tales complete

Listen, an independent rapper, I've never vibed with a system
I've learned that contracts lock these rappers up in label prisons
They pop and drop just like a black man with cops in his vision
I'm just expressing my reality like Hegel's Dictum

And yeah my bro's I miss em
They taught me way more than my school with all their growth and wisdom
I took a step back from the music, now I've re-arisen
And now I have a million stories I still haven't written
Yeah yeah

The ones above me see my progress like steps on a Fitbit
They step back, I omit it, like the bass when the kick hits
I'm just mid I'll admit it but I grow when I exhibit flows
That these rappers that trip on hoes will just never forget it

It's okay
If I don't make it to the end of the day
It's okay
If years from my canvas still stays blank
I learned that it's okay
If I'm never at the top, what to say
Yeah it's okay
If I can't be an emperor, like Shanks

(Aye)
Go to interviews the suit is fitted like my granny knit it
Never drink and never hit a spliff, a brother too committed
(Aye)
I just hit the stu, my vision is too vivid
Got clairvoyance in my eyes so all that's wicked is omitted
(Aye)

My future, my past
Going through them both, put the pedal to the gas
Wanna be the man, so I'll never come in last
I learned these words myself, I ain't learn it all in class

When I start touring all my fans gon' be jumping just like a pump fake
Billboard Top 100, be chilling up on the front page
100k, up in my bank that's gon' be 1 day
Unbelievable, that's some shit I don't enunciate
I got some visions for future thought they been sunk
On my music shit, business shit, oh and then some
The hating crowd, gon' be mad just like they Benson
My fam they gon' be proud, screaming loud, like an engine

It's okay
If I don't make it to the end of the day
It's okay
If years from my canvas still stays blank
I learned that it's okay
If I'm never at the top, what to say
Yeah it's okay
If I can't be an emperor, like Shanks

(But that don't matter cuz I will be)

It's okay
If I don't make it to the end of the day
If years from my canvas still stays blank
If I'm never at the top, what to say
If I can't be an emperor, like Shanks
We worked too hard, we worked too hard, we'll make it
We worked too hard, we worked too hard, we'll make it
Yeah we worked too hard, we worked too hard, we'll make it
We worked too hard, we worked too hard

Fans gon' scream my name yeah that's a call to action
Man I'm too dashing, I guess that's just the law of attraction
They're a distraction, I run this race with maximum traction
So Senju never slipping, you'll never get a reaction
Man you could add these rappers up and they not half of me
We talking bout fractions
You tryna stand up to me then it's time get to subtracting
You could divide into factions
I'll multiply my power level then become an assassin
I turn these niggas into ghosts they going black to white like Micheal Jackson
That's that ying-yang thriller shit
No J-Dilla shit I'm moving like a killa shit
All these rappers slow like turtles, I'm on Master Splinter
Moving like I'm Bolt so they all know I'm on my winner shit

(I'm on winner shit, damn)
(I'm that guy, for real)

Made it out of the cold weather
More seats with more leather
Rhyme schemes got more letters
Ring, let it ring
I'm the king, like I'm Coretta
Scott, like I'm Travis maybe not
I'm the highest in the room
Not the blunts just the bops
And my thoughts
Tie the knots
I lived my life across the road I wanna cross
And now I'm passing it no moss, but I'm passionate
Passion hits like a catalyst, asterisk
But I'm average, and this life is a labyrinth
How can this be my Nazareth

Think too much about the past and not the future lemme introduce ya
Time will pass and I'll surpass even the pro producer
My computer, that's my tutor, for the path of ruler
Moving lighting through the aux I move like Queen Azula
I'm going god mode
Messin with the kid I'll hit u with my double quarto
Rappers not dope I could rap a circle round them in staccato
Pop a bottle, then I cop model, now I'm in legato
Cuz we straight uh
Cuz we straight bro
And we gon' be okay bro
That's all I gotta say
