The chosen one Lyrics

Fitting that I never fit in, cause I never fit the image

There's too many clones out here trying to be a spitting image

The youngins be asking about my real age and the old heads tell me that I ain't vintage

I don't fit the mold so I was cast out of the village

Competing with myself now I can only scrimmage

The musicians tell me I ain't musical enough

And the poets tell me I got too much rhythm

Shout out the free thinkers who never bridge the gap

For every time I get told my poetry sounds more like rap

The fuck is that about?

For the bitches who accuse me of misogynoir

And the niggas who tell me that feminist shit. won't get you far

I guess holding both sides accountable comes at a cost

And I started to gain more clarity with every friend that I lost

For every time I get deemed a contrarian

Playing devil's advocate

Having provocative conversations the juice ain't never worth the concentrate

I'm in between two worlds, constantly

It's feeling like a coin flip, heads or tails

Back and forth, even the symbol of justice failed to balance the scales

Finding my lane took a toll, it never had an easy tag

But I wasn't changing up the sound to get an easy bag

Not a rhyme or a sonnet

Not a mime or a puppet

Y'all go from having idols to idolatry

And I can never cheat the game, that's adultery

Looking past the gimmicks

Y'all too stuck in y'all ways to see the difference

I ain't less talented cause I do it different

Before I touched the sky I got it out the mud

I had to believe in myself before I believed in God

That's true religion, it's been in my genes

Once I got the vision, Lord give me a sign

I'm standing on business I never needed a cosign

Now I'm talking sine, division, cosine

Never mind I'm going off tangent

Knowing that true resolution only resides in conflict and they go in tandems

Bringing that feeling back

Before groupthink and cancel culture ruined dialogue

And I ain't never been scared to shake shit up

But I'm afraid I already said too much

My art and my opinion are mine and not that of my employer
