Sketches - Intellect

Producers made this record for me but it’s more for Lamar he like to speak

about the world talk about where we are, I like to rockstar smash a rapper like

a guitar, I need grow up talk to these children the future tomorrow,

how do that, when people want that who rap, do it for paper or go back to the

do rap covering waves when folks was still like do you rap, it’s like I sold my

soul to the devil for boombap.

Remember talking to dad bout life I live,

Time I give, not much conducive to kids, on the phone until at night,

catch a flight rock a mic to keep on the lights

I watch tv with no sound on, its a milestone for me to 34, black skin makes

police think I broke the law.

And it ain’t like that everywhere,

but I got a son and I’m trying to be here, for him

Hook/Bridge:

Sketches, of life lessons, don’t live reckless, trying to reach the nexus,

transportation glass Lexus, should’ve been less rebellious, maybe I would’ve

wrecked less, a slave so many whips and chains I feel helpless

Perspective, don’t abandon the first directive, family, culture have to be more

perceptive

So many things I need to tell my daughter, mistakes I made choices that scared

her mother, cuz every daughter born is destined to marry her father,

I gotta break the cycle.

And my son wants to be like Michael, same name gotta

be a more responsible idol, trying to do that while a murderer who kills every

rival for the government or through this written music recital, reading psalms

every night pages turn in the Bible, pray for survival, trying to be the

fittest, sipping on Guinness doing the best to numb my senses, I swear this

shit is senseless eyes blinded lime lenses, brothers slay each other then

degrade our black sisters, how we audacious enough to call ourselves winners,

when we all sinners praying to god for forgiveness, no more table scraps grown

man eat dinner, give you the real you know I’m never a pretender
