Its Doc, Keyiara, Thomas Who? - Keep Pushin' Lyrics

I’m this far from being a star
And just that close to quitting
I never shoulda came close to missing
Word to TIP mane
Them words hit home
1st listen
Felt like he was talking to me
When he spoke that wisdom
From all angles
A prism
Speak ya truth
And live em
These opportunities you got em
Or you get em
It’s black or white
Either you riding or you wit em
The grey kind, can’t co-sign
But I’ll forgive em
Been in a space
Where they was sitting on my lap
And niggas grilling
Really set me in a trap
No excuses
Hood put me on to that
So if the bucks a near
I had to turn to Warren Sapp
I used to think I need the city
On my back
The east side is inside
No matter where I’m on the map
Never forget when I was drinking from the tap
And my mom was really high
Really thought the phone was tapped
No matter what
I’m still my momma baby
And a fool
Ain’t how my momma raised me
A hard sell if you thought you
Could persuade me
Fuck made you think that you could
Play me
This is destiny
I can’t fail it
I’m taking every little win
To propel it
Keep pushing now
It’s no settling
Til I’m the nigga they came 2 C
Like crips spell it
Never been the one to fold
Gotta stay 10 toes down
Fuck next
I got now
You better believe it
I know you think its deceiving
I could never let you niggas
Knock me off my pivot
Tryna stack it up
Until I reach some triple digits
And when you mention my name
Mention I'm about my business
Bout to ball hard
Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen
Yeah
Got a little
I’m wanting big
Gotten older realized
Retrospect is a bitch
A lotta lumps earned
Took awhile to learn from them hits
Wit no place in the room
I still find a place to sit
Observe
Find something to come away wit
Be the game
But not be the one to play wit
Actions speak louder
Then you could say it
It’s one thing to hear it
Another when you convey it
I done took L's
I done took L's
I been down this road
I can share some good tales
Live wit no regrets
I done blazed a good trail
Made it passed 21
Where I’m from avoided jail
Well
It’s my time
I can feel it in the air
Like a whisper in the wind
And it raise ya neck hairs
Or the eyes from off the street
You can feel the blank stares
You know it’s coming so you get yourself prepared
Never been the one to fold
Gotta stay 10 toes down
Fuck next
I got now
You better believe it
I know you think its deceiving
I could never let you niggas
Knock me off my pivot
Tryna stack it up
Until I reach some triple digits
And when you mention my name
Mention I'm about my business
Bout to ball hard
Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen
Yeah
Ok I'm feeling like Thomas is underrated
Writing through my brokenness hoping for reparations
Heart turned purple this veteran is decorated
They say the apple doesn't fall far from the tree lord how I know I'm naked
Not questioning the creation
Or am I, flip it I AM praying, is answering me on stand by
What a spoiled childs point of view
I'm a reflection of the mirror that I'm pointing to
So who you blaming nigga
You'll never make it if excuses all you making nigga
I demonstrated all the ways you gotta face the river
Baptized in a fire water I cant remember
How intoxicating
I pray regrets can never fit inside the box I lay in
Make a star comet down that's a cosmic statement
At my worst I'm the kinda greatest
And that's church to the congregation
Pass the plate nigga
And when you mention my name
Mention I'm about my business
Bout to ball hard
Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen
Its bout to be a come up
When I'm on
Don't you try to run up
You wasn't gang gang wit me
At the bottom in a bucket
Switching lanes wit me
When I needed you
You aint do a thang for me
You say I switched up
I mean how could you blame me
Never been the one to fold
Gotta stay 10 toes down
Fuck next
I got now
You better believe it
I know you think its deceiving
I could never let you niggas
Knock me off my pivot
Tryna stack it up
Until I reach some triple digits
And when you mention my name
Mention I'm about my business
Bout to ball hard
Shooting shots like Scottie Pippen
