Jaeti - My Word (I Never Brag) Lyrics

I never brag about
What my clan's about
What I plan about
Folks talk a lot
But results are rarely tantamount
And even if the could succeed
Every cat who plan to block
Knows your whole plan
And move quickly
With their cannon cocked
Instead, I keep the blueprint locked away
I got shots to spray
Instead, I'd rather focus on progress
And keep my crew at bay
Maybe they can eat too
If we can put the glocs away
I work while you talk
And keep a stack for a rainy day
That's always just around the corner
A second
Or a day away
As long as you're profitable
It don't matter if you pay to play
That's how the labels do
Puffy and Master P did
Or maybe sends some goons
To get someone to play your remix
Like Suge Knight
See how that worked out
Dope underground rappers
But the labels spend a ton
To get their faces out
Then charge the artist
On the back end
They still pay
So I just stay humble and do me
To this day
I never brag
I just write a word on the paper
Then return for the Hater
Die in the flesh
And then return for you later
Like a bust from the brain
Of the cosmic concept
The result of life
Off-springing
God's breath
Spring forth from the ghetto
Cool and the mellow
Lay back in the slums
With the thugs and the rebels
Bass and the treble
EQ for the levels
To get the sound right
I'm only here for one night
And as long as I'm right
As long as I fight
For freedom and justice
The kind of things that I like
People start drama
Then sit like angels with halos
Most problems start
With something you say though
So I keep my mouth closed
Like Buffalo Soldiers and black gauchos
Who left the plantation
But didn't tell a soul
Not everyone can know your situation
Cause when things go bad you get dragged
And since you reap what you sow
I never brag
Long days
Short temper
The game is crazy
To gained wisdom
First
I struggled daily
Sought to understand
Heard words of insight
Appetite to be prudent
Sometimes guided by the wrong advice
Justice and fairness
Complicated question
With simple answers
Viruses
Even worse than the cancers
So I tried to be discreet
Guided by a parable
What's wisdom to the wise
Understanding
To an animal
Of course
I made a little money
Who cares
They talk about stocks
I be like
I got a few shares
Brag about shoes
I got a few pairs
Do people acknowledge you
Or do you put your own praise
In the atmosphere
I came out
Of my own accord
In this world
If it's real
You ain't gotta say a word
My reputation, my form of elevation, my flag
Remembering the 100 failures
That lead to every success
So I never brag

I never brag about
What my clan's about
What I plan about
Folks talk a lot
But results are rarely tantamount
And even if the could succeed
Every cat who plan to block
Knows your whole plan
And move quickly
With their cannon cocked
Instead, I keep the blueprint locked away
I got shots to spray
Instead, I'd rather focus on progress
And keep my crew at bay
Maybe they can eat too
If we can put the glocs away
