the requirements

Don't be the friend that'd hold you back

I'm secluding to myself to keep on track

Deep in the past is where I leave our chats

If you're not the fam, I'm not even gon' react

Doubting myself just to stay intact

Negative thoughts will always fly past

But Nahshon is beyond all of that

What you are, you will attract

And I came here to add never subtract

Way before Covid you was masking ya self

Is it's how you really felt? or to kill someone else?

Before 2020 I been social distancing

Cause I couldn't believe the fuckery I'm witnessing

Away from all that I'm repositioning

I don't know really about you

But I can only go where I'm valued

Outgrew to go back to my roots

Too big to fit in a group

Had to rearrange the requirements

Just tryna outlast the environment

Grow to own my land and try to vent

So we can look back like that's time well spent

Not many know what it means to black

Constantly having your psyche attacked

They keeping the cemeteries packed

So I don't walk forward and choose to lack

Protect our women they all we have

Treat the one right be her better half

It's the only way we survive just do the math

How else did you get here on the "map"

On the real you luck to walk a path

1 in 400 trillion chances of being born

When me and my lady do i won't leave her scorned

I'm there for you when it's sunny and it storms

And if you love me and our relationship locked

And you don't wanna get knocked, but is down for options

Then that's fine baby we can be adopting

Respecting your body you know I'm conscious

As I wait for you I elevate my tier

No need to wander, your vision is clear

Believe in yourself conquer all fears

But all of it seems nonsense, cause you ain't here

Had to rearrange the requirements

Just tryna outlast the environment

Grow to own my land and try to vent

So we can look back like that's time well spent

To put my momma in retirement

I need to create the environment

So knowledge nonstop acquiring

So I can do something for us that's inspiring

What do I expect of myself while dying?

Besides dodging all the sirens

On the estate century old and I'm still vibrant

Fam thanking me for all the guidance

I saved our world and changed our environment

So many times it felt so tiring

I chose to keep on trying and

I'm thankful for the moments we sharing

I know I was the best to my parent

I hope for my kids to them it was apparent

How far I raised them to the weight I was carrying

And they love it cause they fulfilled when caring

That's the one trait I don't mind sharing
