Jsteezzy - Food for Thought Lyrics

If you believing people when they say you the best
You believe em when they say you the worst
That's DMX
Cause faith brings hope and hope makes optimistic
But with action for those things
Turns any dream into vision
Than reality
No longer need validation
From people who claim they real
Yet they can't validate it
Walking round looking goofy
That's some poor animation
That I can't let my energy
Try to collaborate wit
Cause I don't mind help
Just not trustworthy
People be too thirsty
To have a piece in my journey
See I have to succeed
Can't be like my dad
Cause the reason that he failed
He heard with too many ears
He was the plane ticket hanging round the bus pass
Seen that money magnet so they tried to stay close to him
After my father passed guess how many of em stayed
Now they hear his son can rap they thought the same thing
Sorry nigga with time many things change
Need to isolate and getaway so I can rearrange
See who riding wit me when I go cop the black range
Even if it ain't my blood I hope there's no hard feelings
I'm doing what's best for me
Don't be mad cause you ain't
You need to wonder why I can't trust you
In my future days
Think about just how you slithered
Why you mad when called a snake
I'm mowing the lawn you'll be heading towards decapitate
Be aware of ya circle shit is very true
But more deeply who need to worry bout is you
You ain't selfish if you put ya self first my dude
Cause you are the storyteller people get the run through
You only live one life everyday a debut
It's a day you haven't seen but you blessed to see new
When you change your perspective
You don't look through rear view
Keep ya eyes straight ahead to prepare what's coming soon
Cause tomorrow neva promised
Your gift is the present
Although you may hate it every minute every second
You stressing about yo daughter
Best thing that Eva happened
Putting ya self to blame
Cause all she witness is madness
Got you staying up thinking
If I could truly go back and
Try to paint betta picture
Instead of this ghetto canvas
Should've moved out Chicago
Bought a nice house in Hammond
You allowed ya pride for yo hood to overlap it
Damn
When you fighting every moment just to see the last
Every battle gets harder in world of Warcraft
Thinking you become weaker well that's a contrast
Well in fact every limit becoming surpassed
You can't predict the next storm like a forecast
But you know how to prepare for it like weather man
Heading where the grass is greener no it's not a trespass
And when you see that sun beaming leaving you so flabbergast
Surprise homie
For this exercise homie
We gon run around claim what's ours
Than goodbye homie
This ain't no fairground you allowed
Optimize homie
But when you sit down I'll be renowned
And idolized homie
See
I learned favor ain't fair and I ain't either
My life was cold but it built me for the heat seeker
Killing careers making mine rap grim reaper
Cutting all these loose ends off lemme get a Caesar
Gotta respect the process its the best teacher
The progress is apart of the whole procedure
I'm running where I need to be like a wide receiver
Boy imma dog in this game no golden retriever
A great dame whose gotta greater purpose can't you see it
You're simply just a hater if you notta believer
I'm not saying it's coming fast cause I'm not a speedster
Just coming quicker than most for that I'm very eager
I left this song untitled but it has a meaning
To hit the people so can than can practice what they preaching
Aint gotta be preacher ain't gotta be a leader
Long as you moving towards the right you won't be left
With neither
Stop pleasing people cause you truly can never appease em
You don't have all the answers don't mean become a cheater
You're a creature who can be an independent thinker
You once were a survivor and now you're an achiever

If you believing people when they say you the best
You believe em when they say you the worst
That's DMX
Cause faith brings hope and hope makes optimistic
But with action for those things
Turns any dream into vision
Than reality
No longer need validation
From people who claim they real
Yet they can't validate it
Walking round looking goofy
