Verse 1:
A recent conversation kinda knock me of balance
I got a cool placement that compliments a few talents
Raised a little money to keep funding my passion
And my palace
Inspiration is forming less of a challenge
This industry person said my music was bright
But this dark world ain’t ready for a positive light
You too 30, and a nigga
You need a stool for the climb
Like a gimmick or story that tells of glorious crime
Well…I’m not from Compton or wasn’t raised in a rough town
A good kid, not a maad a city with fam around
Done seen death from only sickness, no bullet rounds
Cause Momma’s bread keep me far away from the bullet sounds
I know colors just not sets or the gang affairs
I know dope, a descriptive word that we declare
I’ve been in fights for punching peers for racist jokes
If that makes me plain, I’ve fallen off
Hook:
But tell me is that cool with you
Is that cool with you?
Fuck gimmicks, but tell me is that cool with you?
Tell me is that cool with you?
Vese 2:
I’ma dark skin brotha with some extra weight on em
Educated, own a business, pockets got some weight on em
I remember I remember I was broke as shit
So I rather drop gems, than a club hit
Never really hopped on a wave it’s the truth
Momma told me make your own wave being you
Lord help me navigate the waters, I don’t wanna drown in fear Comparing self to what’s popular
Looking for false appeal
Too many hurting behind the curtains of their shows
Broadcasts put on masks when they near lows
It ain’t exposed til suicide
Cause time be like do or die
The fake be appealing before its bare bones
If one note from me can help them survive
I'll write a symphony for encouragement every vibe
Fueling hope for the ride
An every day anthem tribe
We regular people rocking together, feel me?
Hook 2:
But tell me is that cool with you
Is that cool with you?
I’m just reg nigga, but tell me is that cool with you?
Tell me is that cool with you?
Bridge:
Never let em tell you how to be yourself
Or go crazy tryna win being someone else
You can die while you still alive
You really gotta love who you see inside
