Greatness
You cannot stop someone with a divine purpose
Sometimes we don’t sleep
cuz’ insomnia keeps us up
Little did you know
That’s really us becoming superhuman
Shuteye is where the downloads come in
Sometimes we be alone cuz’ we’re
not part of the matrix anymore
Little did you know
That’s us finding our true selves
When you’re riding solo
you can focus on you
Because whoever comes around
you brings their baggage with em’
I’m expressing myself
in every way imaginable
before the hiatus commences
Only then I could create my finest work
I went from urine-scented hallways
to breathtaking penthouse views
Poppin’ off in places I’ve
only seen on postcards
Dudes I grew up with
are jealous cuz’ complete
strangers show me respect they
don’t have any balls to
Can’t accept who I’ve become,
they still have the old
Khali in their minds
I’m all the way up here
while they’re all the way
down there in left field
You fools said I wouldn’t make it
But I did and making money also
Black sheep of both the
Raymond and Jackson families
That was for a reason, look
at how successful I’ve become
This didn’t come without chance
Lost my father when I was just a baby
Diagnosed with autism at seven
Incessantly harassed for all twelve years
dat’ I spent inside of the system
Been crossed up by females I felt for
Friends turned into snakes,
reared their heads
Constricted and bit me
I saw death, plague
Desperation, abuse
We don’t even own the block
Gentrification put us all out
Yet the water still filthy
Found out I had talent and
was clowned into oblivion
Look at me in 2020, the entire
Garden State is digging savage
So is your girlfriend, sorry homie
Ya’ll not together anymore
Kean’s most appreciate, ahem
Valuable
I became more than
wealthy, I ain’t gotta flex
Broke people do that
I am an example of how you can
become someone despite circumstance
I ain’t listening to them haters, naysayers
They don’t have anything to say
Oughta’ put a buttery sock in it
So I don’t have to hear any
more of that nonsense
