DESTINY

IT AIN?T WHERE IM FROM
SO MUCH AS WHAT I AM FROM
NOR DOES WHAT I WAS
COMPARE TO WHAT I?VE BECOME
THROUGH SPEECH PEOPLE FEEL MY SHIT
JUST LIKE THE PASSION OF CHRIST
WHEN THE ROMAN GUARD SWITCHED HIS WHIP
AND ?I NEVER HAD?S?
A SLOAGAN ON EVERY BLACK
KID GROWING UP HERE WHERE BAD
CONDITIONS ARE UNDERSTATED
WHERE OUR EDUCATION IS OVER RATED
WHERE WE RISE TO DOMINANCE
OVER THOSE WHO UNDERESTIMATE US
IM A VERY RUDE BOY FROM VERY HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
I WANTED
POPEYES STRENGTH WITHOUT EATING SPINACH
I WATCHED
TUPAC STRETCH A MORTAL MANS LIMITS
TO EXTEND FROM BY BEYOND THE GRAVE
HIS LIFE?S GIFT
MY MOTHER WATCHES HALFWAY MAD AT THE WAY I TRIP
ON THE WORLD BUT SHES MORE THAN GLAD THAT I HAVEN?T FALLEN
NO, I?M NEVER FALLING CUZ WHAT I AM I OUGHTTA BE
TILL THE END
FOREVER IS MINES
DESTINY
DESTINY
MAMA AIN?T NEVER GOT TA
WORRY EVER ABOUT THE
RENT OR WHETHER SHE GOT THE MONEY
CUZ MA GOT ENDS
ON THE STRENGHT OF HER YOUNG SON
WHO IS SO HOT HERE
HIS SHIT SIZZLES IN TOILET WATER
THAT?S LIKE ?DAAAMMMMNNN?
NIGGAS WITH THE BOILING WATER
IN TIGHT JAMS
GON DELIVER WHAT THEY FLIP FOR THE PEOPLE
LIKE I AM
AND I AM LIKE CHI-TOWNS FINEST
BREEZE COOL COLD ON A HOE
RUN OFF AND FIND YA
A NIGGA WHO A GOT HIM A SEED
WITH THE OTHER HALF OF THE ROOT
BLOCKING WATCHING HIM GROW IN LEAVES
NOW THAT SHIT I JUST DON?T NEED
I?M ALREADY AT 8 SHOWS A WEEK
SESSIONS IN BETWEEN
AN INTERVIEW AT 9
WITH A FLIGHT LEAVING AT 3
IF THERE?S A PEACEFUL TIME
IT MIGHT BE IN THE WEED
SMOKE IN THE AIR
WONDERING IF I GOTTA BE THIS MUCH
TO GUARANTEE MINES
DESTINY
DESTINY
THEY SAY GOD PLANTED ETERNITY
DEEP WITHIN THE HEARTS OF HUMANS
BUT WHETHER WE DECIDE TO USE IT
IS A THOUGHT THAT HAS
BASICALLY FOUGHT BACK THE
CRAVING
TO BE JUST LIKE THEM WHEN THEY JUST STEAK
THIS RAP SHIT IS MY FOR WITH THE STREETS AS MY PLATE
I GOT U NIGGAS BACKING UP OFF
WHO YOU SEASON FOR GREAT
IM DEFINED BY MUCH MORE THAN RHYMES
AND THAT?S JUST ON C.D.
IM SOMETHING ELSE COMPLETELY LIVE
I?M WORTH MUCH MORE THAN MY WEIGHT
WHETHER IN GOLD
OR THAT SHIT A NIGGA ROCKS IN HIS CHAIN
BUT YOU WON?T NOTICE IT
UNTIL IM GONE
BUT AT THAT POINT IT?S OVER
IT?S BEEN FUN
FOREVER IS MINES
DESTINY
DESTINY
?ON TOP OF THE WORLD?
?THEY SAY THE KEY TO IMMORTALITY?
..IS FIRST LIVING A LIFE WORTH REMEMBERING?
..WELL LET?S GO!!!?
DESTINY
