[Lyric] 2022 (Battz (TN))

[Intro]
He's always been, He's always been
He's always been, He's always been
Ayy, look

[Verse]
2022, another God-fearin' black man
Climbin' to the top, and I don't care 'bout who is askin'
I'm surpassin', the devil catchin' a backhand
2022, I feed my family off this rappin'
Lashin' out to the people that's closest, I'm open
To makin' sure I'm grounded dead in my faith and I'm focused
God, You the One that just wrote this
Since I was young, I was chosen
Now that the plan is in motion
Dead at the bottom, we growin'
2022, we reachin' different time zones (He's always been)
2022, God will have my mind blown, look (He's always been)
A lot of rappers in this space is typical, I make residual (He's always been)
They like to label me as lyrical, boy, this that spiritual (He's always been)
I'ma focus on the impact and not all the intervals (He's always been)
A lot of y'all the same, identical (He's always been)
Battz, that's the last name, I'm screamin' at the top of my lungs (He's always been)
We grabbin' mics instead of grabbin' a gun (He's always been)
Since I was young, I knew that I was the one to overcome that (He's always been)
Mom said that intersects would leave us buried in slums (He's always been)
Battz on the scene, for real, saved by the King, for real
I'm on the reign, for real, livin' the dream, for real
2022 is the thing that will bring 'em entirely
This year's fest will tally in grips on us
Don't get it twisted, it takes action, not the procrastination
That's preach to all the masses, no, I'm not publicly trashin'
I just want accountability, 'cause we all have the ability
Ayy, yeah, man, we have it
[Chorus]
2022, '22, 2022, '22 the year for sho' (He's always been, He's always been)
2022, '22, 2022, '22 the year for sho' (He's always been, He's always been)
2022, '22, 2022, '22 the year for sho' (He's always been, He's always been)
2022, '22, 2022, '22 the year for sho', 20- (He's always been, He's always been)
