a-reece - re$idual $elf image lyrics
[part i]
[intro: a+reece]
goin’ off, goin’ off
goin’ off
goin’ off
[verse 1: a+reece]
forgive me, i’m goin’ off
for all the non+believers who were there when i started off
ever since i made it, i ain’t hear not a word from y’all
i know that you pray i fall, you need a new prayer, dawg
that’s is why i be (goin’ off)
forgive me, i’m goin’ off
fifty thousand for the night and i might just blow it all
(she’s riding with me for the night and i might just show off)
(they know when i arrive that i make the city small, yeeeah!)
one+two, one+two, yeah!
[verse 2: a+reece]
acknowledgement without the accolades
still, i celebrate ’cause any day could bе the last time i hear this record play
my heart is in a better place, my mind is in a different state
so i don’t even care how much the records made
how many lives can this record save?
how many minds can it liberate?
feeling like i’m liable to make a change
here i stand centre stage as i take a leap of faith
i let the music lead the way, all that passion i put in the game
all the credit that i never claim
yet i’m still amazed at how they always finding ways to slander my name
life is a gamble but, like old people at casinos, dawg
i’m here to stay
(they know when i arrive that i make the city small)
one+two, one+two
[verse 3: a+reece]
this sh+t ain’t a hobby; it’s a lifestyle
n+ggas, i tell you likewise
i say n+ggas referring mostly to my guys
nothing like those humble days
when all i was to you was just nothing more than a lifeline
n+ggas think they’re brave enough to take mine
i ain’t never been the type to take five
especially when i’m behind enemy lines
in position, minding my own business
but n+ggas keep sniffing, impersonating a k9
i keep telling my mother that i’ma make time
great things take time; i’m on a mission
total demolition, world domination, operation f+ck the system
n+ggas know we ain’t kidding this side
n+ggas know ain’t nothing k!lling the spirit this time
n+gga, just keep that in mind
a n+gga like me keeps getting harder to find
told her a n+gga like me keeps getting harder to find
[bridge: ayanda jiya]
they know when i arrive that i make the city small
watch them hating, praying for my downfall
n+ggas catching feelings ’cause they know i walk tall
they know when i arrive that i make the city small
watch them hate and pray for from my downfall
n+ggas catching feelings ’cause they know i walk tall
’cause everything it feels so right
[interlude + morpheus (from the matrix)]
is it really so hard to believe?
your clothes are different
the plugs in your head and arms are gone
your hair has changed, your appearance now is what we call residual self+image
[part ii]
[verse: a+reece]
yeah, they tried to black+ball me but i’m still putting numbers on the boards
you boys are only known for shaving points like paul on the longest yard
i know you ain’t who you think you are
you are a bad liar, stop trying hard
quit talking like you got priors
you don’t wanna start an uproar with the man i stand before
these n+ggas got pride like a group of lions
i’m in top form, they won’t admit i’m k!lling it on every platform
you’re in the presence of a god, n+gga
hold your applause, if you gon’ put your hands together
you might as well send a prayer to the lord
you h+ll bound f+cking with the boy
