rite of passage - d. smiley lyrics
[verse 1]
looking back at one point i didn’t think that i would ever make it to the age of 18
it wasn’t ever questioned if i’d make my sports teams
i had a hard time choosing college
in modern time i can’t even afford it
really wasn’t my focus reaching my dreams was more important
mom in and out the hospital steadily on the health stuggle
he said the wrong thing just had to curse out my brother
everything is getting to me so i got to keep those trees rolled
the only thing to keep me eased or else i might explode
self destruct, that’s a no
how you gon’ succeed in a system made for you to fail
locking n-ggas up in jails
with no chance of getting out and making changes for themselves, f-ck that
this n-gga educated looking to become another black billionaire
where i’m from we call that rare
where i’m from my n-gga tunk said that’s what real n-ggas do
so, you can’t stop me, you can’t stop me, you can’t stop me, you can’t stop me
ohhhhhhhhhh
[speech]
when you feel like the chosen one, you can’t fail
when you see your family stuggle so much in certain areas, and when you struggle yourself or when you see anybody around you on the struggle, it makes you work that much harder. and in my world i feel like i’m the one that has to do it for all my people, so this is my life, golden child, rightful sinner
[verse 2]
better get your pictures now
‘cause once i’m on it’s not gon’ be often i will be around
straight gone off that brown
always in the studio with douja like i am now
pops worked twenty years to get laid off
and that was in ’03, since then i knew i’d be my own boss
and ten years later it almost happened again
then i told him there’s going to be changes
hit the road to other places
got offered white, but you know i had to p-ss
little blond chick in austin was ready to give up some -ss
temptations running wild in a n-ggas mind
text from my girl saying i love you and i wish you good luck tonight
nothing like the comfort of a home, that’s why i’m head strong
people think it’s crazy i’ve been faithful so long
ain’t no question it’s what ruined my fam
but i guess that’s why they raised me to be better than them
and when i have a kid i’m sure i’ll say the same too
be better than me, don’t drink and finish up in school
admit to kid i’m nowhere close to being f-cking perfect
but what folks can’t deny is i’m the hardest f-cking worker they know
so if you stunt then really stunt and let them hate
pay no attention to these lames and show their -ss no time of day
you get revenge by showing them you’re getting paid
your whole clique living insane
and maybe win a grammy
