Destiny is forged in the hearts desire So with this fire it's lyrical jambalaya I'm making gumbo with word soups In vert coupes I got a hold like a tree dug deep in Earth's roots Seen more dirt than my work boots Umbilical cord was my first noose I was a disturbed youth Barreling bricks like a mason Hammers like John Henry Ain't reach my plateau Joe them Jealous Ones Envy Chasing death for Benjis with tools of the trade Treacherous lane you choose to snooze on a blade Since half moons parted my waves I been stuck in my ways Mature for my age Ducking grenades There's a war going on outside no man is safe from Fittest survive You mind your business and play dumb When they ask who the illest they saying Awon Respectfully underground king since day one Remember you still got time to surrender For the title the contender I put your mind in a blender Shine like the embers of fire The Victor Picasso with the pictures Remember you still got time to surrender For the title the contender I put your mind in a blender Shine like the embers of fire The Victor Picasso with the pictures I spit Gumbo Rifles with scopes tall as Mutumbo Granddaddy practiced Voodoo Not nah day his funds low The magic took his mind Soul bound in other times I'm a product of the crack profits Reaganomic shine I hopped off the porch while y'all rode the pine Steel beam for a spine Taking everything that's mine Claiming block after block Chopping rock after rock Shrimp shells for the stock Boiling hot like the pot Add the soda then the ice Shake the jar into shock That's alchemy Celebrate the stretch with Ciroc Never doubted me manifest reality with minds maintain a clear thoughts When your destiny's to shine That's why I'm alkaline Free the body then the mind Watch me levitate Elevate freely I'm divine On the road to the riches and the diamond rings Battle field is a grave yard lined with kings Remember you still got time to surrender For the title the contender I put your mind in a blender Shine like the embers of fire The Victor Picasso with the pictures Remember you still got time to surrender For the title the contender I put your mind in a blender Shine like the embers of fire The Victor Picasso with the picture
