Masterplan ft. Xavier Ware Lyrics

I got a Master Plan

Had to get it Straight from the Master's Hand

Switched up the beat like Ye from the streets

The change that we need to wake those asleep

Yo, I'm tired of the back beat

No more chilling sitting in the back seat

NAH hush that fuss

Everybody move to the front of the bus and drive

Swerve on em as you make way

Towards your fate you're not late for your prime

Nerve of them who hate on your shine

Bright but like sprite live in the lime

Light but live like you got 9 lives

Fight like Mike Ty but at 55

Keep your head up to the sky

And fly like Bessie Coleman with strides like Jesse Owens

It's time

To buy you up a chateau

Put your vision on a board by the front Do

Even though we still feel the knock of Jim Crow

Hindsight's 20/20 but your path lies in front yo

There was DuBois, who knew the talented 10th

Would mean exceptional folk, would have to be our defense

Like booker T and Ali, Maya and Duke

Shirley C, and Countee, Sojourner Truth

Uh, I feel like Martin when he had the blues

Better hope I ain't Malcolm sans le rouge

Basquiat's thoughts, throw in Alain Locke

We lean on James Baldwin's attitude

We owe them a debt

And yes, you're your ancestors pay them respect

They've always sat solid like Colvin, Claudette

But now that I'm here you ain't seen nothin yet B

I say that with humility

But please don't try and sleep on my ability

On Him, my mind is stayed for tranquility

Tryna come for me would be an act of futility

But you focused on wettability

While you missing out on all her nobility

Your hostility is showing your fragility

Thank god for changeability the sky's a possibility so

I stay FLY G

Don't mind my AAVE

Steady rocking Black English vernacular

Uh I even blend it up spectacularly

Powerful thing, when you find, why he created you

It's your time, do what your called to do, purposefully

Just like Steve, you have to jump and believe and Harvest

Seed for the boys who are feeling destroyed set em free

I digress

My wife's why I'm blessed

She know it

She is a catch, nothing less

Noble character, love and strength on her neck

Hm

She's more than just the plum on her back

The way she makes me feel, I don't know how to act

The curl in her hair, the joy in her feet

The grace in her care, the shine in her teeth

Her depth and beauty is magic

Proverbs 31 is just a function of habit

And that's real

Got her Master's in public health in high heels

OK Obama I see how you feel

Strength in her soul

Lovingly bold

Swag in her stroll

Never too old

Sweet like a rose

Worth more than gold

She's intricate like a mandala

Kamala couldn't handle-ha

Epidermis like caramel

A sample's more than ample done deal

She can stand for herself homie

But man, just let me brag on my wealth homie

Just like she, you have to jump and believe and harvest

Seed for the girls who's looked down by the world set em free

(Let me switch it up a little bit)

Took our credit didn't need a loan

Betty Boop was Ester Jones

Hound Dog, very tricky

And we ain't touched on Little Ricky

Beach boys surfed on Chuck B

Water real muddy like Led Z uh

Not a pessimist just sick of it

We need Onesimus for our health

Which was also a theft

Swiper yes swiping with ultimate stealth

Walk 7 steps at a tilt to the left

Just to go 1 step towards stealing your wealth

But I wrote this completely different

Compose the notes too so please come with it

And I thank God for his Grace sent thru David's Son

Yea Imma drummer so I got to give the drummer some

Let's get back to grace

I made mistakes

I ran my race

But my eyes were blind

I needed faith

But I'm no TD Jakes but maybe take

A Creflo to explain the truth of grace

My life took a turn did an about-face

But I'm still tryna learn not to catch a case

With grace it's done your cup is overrun

But make it plain your dreams will surely come

Just wait for it
