Da Young OG - Canvas Lyrics

Yeah sometimes you just ride and reflect on life
The ups and downs that come with it
Sometimes it come to you at three am
You know what I mean

I've done so much wrong I'm in need of seeking atonement
These ain't mere songs they really teachable moments
By starting in the mirror is how I defeat opponents
I'm I wrong for robbing banks if I use it to feed the homeless
This is a heist in my eyes I'm justified
There's a difference are you living or feeling your just alive
Brothers sit in prison from dealings and flipping pies
Caught up in the system believe me I sympathize
Hold your head wipe your eyes what you crying for
Doves cry eagles fly and lions roar
They're goal tending every time I shoot the tying score
J Cole's not the only one trying to revive a sport
Chest compressions my talent how can you question it
When it goes left I'm still right I'm ambidextrous
Feeling like I'm Moses I'm chosen to lead the exodus
Hold on to my staff cause the road I travel is treacherous
Listen for a second this ain't rapping this a Ted talk
See the mental lapses until they hearing that bread talk
Ventriloquist ain't to many ill as this
Get it from the source I got the course like a syllabus
With these syllables I'm a put my name in remembrance
Y'all sound the same it's not hard to hear the resemblance
Same cadence auto tunes and the bars in it
I'm toting poles but not the one with faces carved in it
See the difference literal or metaphorical
Know that I'm the one I didn't have to go meet the oracle
Mothers lose their sons so often it's unreportable
Brought up in the slums and these conditions deplorable
Crack head drops his rock from his crack pipe
Pitch black use his lighter as a flash light
Vivid memories recalling from my past life
You can't give advice until you get your cash right
Poor and wise my lyrics immortalized
Time is but a blemish while living these mortal lives
Sitting at my table just missing my fork and knives
You can bear witness to my meteoric rise
Yeah I'm not talking lack of melanin
When I tell you that these rappers pale in comparison
Tell me that it's close by their scale but who's measuring
Have them hiding in their closet right next to their skeletons
Keep a tool but these angels are my guardians
Fighting demons way to much random sex and partying
Ran into Toya told me that she wants my heart it again
It's been three years thinking maybe we should start again
Traveled down this road before what's going to be the difference now
Say she wants a family she willing to be consistent now
Old feelings buried inside I'm starting to feel them now
Thinking with emotions is usually when your vision clouds
Get it now can't be waiting on the next year
People don't believe in you until they see that check clear
Fair enough been fighting all my life so I'm squaring up
Stemming from that project living wasn't no one their for us
Mom killed dad a fiend no two parent home
Sixteen on the block I used to carry stones
Want success but no one to show the path to ya
When you're the oldest ain't no hand me downs to pass to ya
Reflecting on this life I'm living I've been through some things
Old fans criticizing cause my music change
You want the brush and the canvas that I'm painting on
No scape goat for your choices who to blame it on
Public eye you crucified until the blood spill
I never question hate only if the loves real
Public eye you crucified until the blood spill
I never question hate only if the loves real
