lyrics

Twenty-nine December is the day that I was born
And I took everything I saw in my first time no doubting only wondering, unfortunately I cried
I felt blessings, but I was scared when
I was not in hands of my mama
I came from far without crimes
I was born there but I need to rise
I don’t need procrastinating
I lost too much but I’m still finding no matter what
I need I have to keep doing no failing but winning
Since I’ve reached on the world
So much death, so much hate
Dying just to kill our pain
Feels like I lost my way
As I watch out planet burn
I don’t still need to sit down
I have to stand up and go to fight yeah!

Chorus: Calm down people of this world
we’re just approaching the edge of the world
No more lies and no more crimes, yeah,
no more lies and no more crimes

Mama told me that I have to be real
I’ll never embarrass her cause she is my leader
Eminence is my real destiny
Patriotism is my real ambition
My beautiful woman will be called empress
Rap is real impressive
By the time I’ll make it rain
But I’ll never forget the pain
I went through difficulties I stand tall than live on my knees
You’re now real buddies
But something wants my hands
People came to me for only curse
I wrote everything to kind of essay
Nobody came and show me mercy
But my role model is called Nas

Chorus

Kneel down and pray to God
It’s the only way to get to heaven
God hates sin but not sinners, but not sinners
Listen to me nigga please don’t refuse
If you don’t get a change you’ll be cursed for real
This is true this is not a lie
If you don’t get a change you will lose your destiny
I don’t still need to sit down
I have to stand up and go to fight, and go to fight

Chorus x2
