lyrics

(Hook - DJ Soubuck Cuts)

(Verse 1 - D Prime 215)
I guess it started with life.
Let me break it down, go and paint art on the mic.
They say art always imitates life.
If so, let it be the reason I write.
I mean I started rhyming for the sake of it.
For my friends and whatever they take from it.
Then I had a moment of truth.
Hit me hard, changed my flow in the Booth.
Got my youth, but I’m long in the tooth.
These ain’t bars, look I’m giving you truth.
Higher standards have me raising the roof.
Paid the cost of integrity, none to recoup.
As for my legacy, let it honor the truth.
If the shoe fits, let it follow the suit.
Fly like Finn, opulent coup.
The truth is what I drop in the booth.
Nah, we never giving it up.
I thought airs and talking fly was just living it up.

(Hook - DJ Soubuck Cuts)

(Verse 2 - D Prime 215)
I was struck, steady looking for luck dreaming.
Eyes open saw visions I would believe in.
Looked in the mirror, that’s when I would see em.
Yet they ain’t see it, nah they ain’t believe it.
Gave me throwaways, so I throw away and delete em.
Those who tolerate ain’t the type of people I be with.
Had to change my pivot.
What I’m bout I represent it.
I’m the true & living infinitely authentic.
So I figured, why shoot the breeze?
Go the distance.
So I did it.
Increased my standard of living.
Achieved the grandest of spirits.
Listen, it looks like a breeze but it isn’t.
Herculean strength had to lift it.
This is for my fam who get it.
On they mind when I’m out of sight, they know I’m living.
And dig it.
Nah we never giving it up.
Celebrate with loved ones, that’s living it up.

(Outro - DJ Soulbuck Cuts)
