In the day when my inner child was at play
I made a beast of myself
Then wit' a bit of luck, I met a morph
And it changed my entire course
I looked back at the old me and I said
"Bye bye to you
Now you have to go"
Bad things covered our soil
Had dreams rappin', black seemed to have a star foiled
Saddening past of the cast streams
What a heart spoil
'Cause of flapped wings of a gargoyle
Mad flings lookin' for the ass swing
Brothers are coiled and is crackin' of a heart boil
At king of the dark royal
Leave my heart it needed jumpin' gotta keep it runnin' car oil
I was abusing substances
(Twеnty two) Married not knowing what a husband is
(Many knew) It ain't nothing I can be trustеd with
(But any who) The words split with suffixes
A divorce made a way for more and many moments to set a course
And I got a really good cheddar source
I was at a corpse and get a force to set a board
Pick a better sport
And that is when I met a morph
The morph told me "Know your worth"
Too many spaces, no mo' earth
Don't die in Dorothy and Toto turf
Only one to get your pogo burst
Helping reverse the bozo curse
A thing changed my whole mind
Lotta money came, fame they know N9ne
But not about the name, my brain is so shined
Really they can take a main vain to old time
A higher vi-a-bration I'm taking this living is spiritual
I ain't talking religion, evidence ain't Empirical
I'm talking universal connection manifesting
Flat out blessings, now my energy's spherical
People around the world through my energy found free
Changing my mind changed everything that's around me
Come up with liquid metal and my label's the foundry
Then they get to lift the brother
Quicker picker upper bounty
I looked back at the old me and I said
"Bye bye to you
Now you have to go
Bye bye to you"
Boom biddy bye bye
Boom biddy bye bye bye yeah
"Now you have to go"
I'd love to stay but I had to go for my path to grow, uh
I was on the outside lookin' in
With my pocket on ouch
I was strapped for dough
Unaware where my destiny would begin
Tryna hack the code, it was impractical
Now to make it pan out I gotta stand out
Sittin' the task in the tone and a cast of clones
I'ma leave out the same way I came in
Intact and alone, no chaperone, uh
Where others were baby-sitted
I was young and hungry havin' crazy visions
But I stumbled through it with no education
Only dedication to the way we did it
With my only my fam to encourage me
Paid in compliments instead of currency
And the consequence was ten thousand hours
In a decade I spent in obscurity
Well, heard that patience is virtuous
I was hurting and searchin' for bliss
My work is my wish
Determined to prove I'm worthy while reversing the curse of my gift
I'm certain of this, the only way forward is forward
Never backward or lateral, duckin' all misdirection
I ain't talkin' about a insurrection
When I say I've been capturing capital
Now when the doubt cast, I'ma shout back
Outwit 'em, outplay and I'll outlast
Just because I got up outta there
That don't mean that I'm an outcast
I've been keeping my soul clean and it's fresh
Now when there's cold beef it's addressed
Ask my OG's how do they know me though when they told me it was Ces, well
I looked back at the old me and I said
"Bye bye to you
Now you have to go
Bye bye to you
Now you have to go"
