Moment Of Clarity - A Cappella (Explicit)

Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Turn the music up, turn the lights down, I'm in my zone

Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity

This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths

Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse

I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths

I built the dynasty by being one of the realest n**s out

Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes

From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'

Listen close you hear what I'm about, n**a feel my truths

When pop died, didn't cry, didn't know him that well

Between him doin' ** and me doin' crack sales

With that in the egg shell standin' at the tabernacle

Rather the church pretendin to be hurt, wouldn't work

So a smirk was all on my face

Like damn that mans face is just like my face

So pop I forgive you for all the s**t that I live through

It wasn't all your fault, homie you got caught

And to the same game I fault that Uncle Ray lost

My big brothers and so many others I saw

I'm just glad we got to see each other

Talk and re-meet each other, save a place in Heaven

Till the next time we meet forever

Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity

This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths

Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse

I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths

I built the dynasty by being one of the realest n**s out

Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes

From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'

Listen close you hear what I'm about, n**a feel my truths

The music business hate me 'cause the industry ain't make me

Hustlers and boosters embrace me and the music I be makin'

I dumb down for my audience and double my dollars

They criticize me for it yet they all yell, "Holla"

If skills sold, truth be told, I'd probably be lyricly Talib Kweli

Truthfully, I wanna rhyme like common sense

But I did five mil, I ain't been rhymin' like common since

When your sense got that much in common

And you been hustlin' since your inception, f**k perception

Go with what makes sense since I know what I'm up against

We as rappers must decide what's most important

And I can't help the poor if I'm one of them

So I got rich and gave back to me that's the win, win

So the next time you see the homie and his rims spin

Just know my mind is workin' just like them, the rims that is

Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity

This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths

Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse

I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths

I built the dynasty by being one of the realest n**s out

Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes

From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'

Listen close you hear what I'm about, n**a feel my truths

My homie Sigel's on a tier where no tears should fall

'Cause he was on the block where no squares get off

See in my inner circle all we do is ball

Till we all got triangles on our wall

He ain't just rappin' for the platinum you all record, I recall

'Cause I really been there before

Four scores and seven years ago, prepared to flow, prepare for war

I shall fear no man, you don't hear me though

These words ain't just paired to go

In one ear out the other ear, no

Yo, my balls and my word is all's I have

What you gonna do to me, n**a scars'll scab

What you gonna box me, homie, I can dodge and jab

Three shots couldn't touch me, thank god for that

I'm strong enough to carry Biggie Smalls on my back

And the whole BK, n**a holla back

Thank God for grantin' me this moment of clarity

This moment of honesty, the world'll feel my truths

Through my hard knock life time, my gift and the curse

I gave you volume after volume of my work so you can feel my truths

I built the dynasty by being one of the realest n**s out

Way beyond a reasonable doubt, you all can't fill my shoes

From my blueprint beginnings to that black album endin'

Listen close you hear what I'm about, n**a feel my truths
