Took forever for me to proceed though right At least that's the way it feel I'm just blessed to be able to bring this This album to you Thank you... (Uhh)

So as I'm living life, constantly been rolling that dice Shake it once or twice, wrongfully negating advice Heard during nights, normally be chasing them heights As I'm blowing out the stress, shortly after the flight Tried to outrun the flood, but its catching the pace Toe-to-toe with the plight, obstacle in the race Looking out for dry land, as the water encase Feeling like a new beginning, I don't feel no embrace Feeling unease and locked doors, across the street As I parallel parked, to get something to eat That's the way it be, that's the way it go for sure Even in the sea, hate never stopped the glow See my people fucking shining, know they got the ammo But we looking like Cage to the shade they throw Preserving when they thought, we would all plateau Thought that they could end, taught still a ways to go So where you at Where you at Where you at Where you at Where you Say where you at Where you at Where you at Where you at Where you I see they still left behind, in the mind, confinded Like tradition in the South, that my child will find Why I'm headed back to school, to oppose design Viewing law as a way, to expose the swine To expose the dirt, to oppose the spite In the middle of the night, moon shining the light And they drunk from the power from them red and blue lights Warning coming with a shower, lead overexcite Trigger happy, so its sadly been this way for a while Nigga nappy, so they badly wanna fit the profile While they daughter and they son, slowly grabbing the style Tanning just to fit in, but avoid the trial Avoid the hate, avoid the stakes, avoid gone Momma lack a smile when child ain't come home End the cycle now, allow the love from Track one to flow over the flood, the baton Pass from generation to generation Seen the waves the kiss the sun, then we known That we almost walking out the flood zone Got Top on the phone, the squad came back home Now we dripping with the sauce, we moving with the goals Don't come across, unless you ready to go Never sweating through the suede, Nxworries, we not below Now we stepping out the waves, with this waterproof soul So where you at Where you at Where you at Where you at Where you Say where you at Where you at Where you at Where you at Where you Where you at Where you at Where you at Where you at Where you Say where you at Where you at Where you at Where you at Where you See we been walking through the waves with this waterproof soul... One day we stepping out the flood with our waterproof souls...
