khantrast - word is bond lyrics

[verse 1]
this some sh+t i just need to vocalize
arguments with the family, we scream until our vocals fry
used to get jealous whenever one of my friends would get showered in compliments by by they parents
used to wish they were mine
not to say i’m not grateful for what my family provided
but at times i was wishing i had more gentle guidance
and not to be called a p+ssy just ‘cause i envied kindness’
or be made a social pariah ‘cause i enjoy the silence
my fondest memories clouded by ambiguity
‘cause most of them moments that i had cherished had felt bittersweet
you would have thought that some progress would earn some trust in me
but it seems i’m still fighting so they could hear me speak
asian traditions telling me to respect the fam
but at what cost? should i continue to neglect the chance
to vocalize my feelings and feeling inadequate?
i grabbed a pen so i could vent and show ‘em all how much this rapping sh+t had mean to me
how much it really saved my soul and helped me and keep the peace
how painting pictures with these flows, i was healed with ink
how strong i felt when on the stage with my first sixteens
felt like i be super powered+up, nothing could damage me
so thank god for the joey bads
the capital st++zs, underachieversand and a$aps
the earl sweats, team backpacks and
vinny stape, k+dot had me thinking the west was back
schoolboy was chilling in school; boy, was my brodie smacked
bumpin’ pro era, i felt fly, like “where cj at?”
doomsday coming, i hear ‘em yelling in all caps
still remember when logic bodied that under pressure track
even lil b had me shook with them exhibit raps
even had an edgier era, was spinnin’ hopsin back
the way i freestyle, you would have thought i brought mamba back
‘cause i was getting hungrier every year when i wasn’t rapping
i was tryna see how to put the game in a body cast
and take ‘em out if anybody want to try me out
then i’ma walk ‘em down and show they asses where the coffin at
like, just to show them i could rap
[chorus]
like, yeah, just to show them i could rap
like, yeah, just to show them i could rap
‘cause all the things, the diamond, the gold rings
i’m good off all of that if i could show them how to rap

[verse 2]
look, i’m tryna build me a milli to get my brothers up
‘cause some of them don’t know about a feeling of when the sun is up
some of them been in survival state since they was young
and i just wanna build a world where my peoples don’t need to care about none
i got a homie whose mind is sharp and they grindin’ hard
but when you from the p’s, it’s hard just tryna find a start
one of my guys lost his pops and had to go to work the day right after
back to the same routine, living life reversed
don’t got the time to be processing any of the pain
numb the pain just to pass the days off minimum wage
a numbing cycle, he waking up just to end the day
in the same place he woke up in, and sh+t don’t change
i thank god one of my guys made it out the mud
i pray his company earn him a million in funds
one of my guys gettin’ extorted by his landlord
i wish i had a crib, i could swing them to keep them up above
i’m always movin’ with love in my heart
strength in my steps, never waver, i never forget
for those i cherish, you should know, i’m forever in debt
within my soul, i’m a rap ‘til we can all take a breath
‘til we can all eat together
‘til we can all take that flight out to j+pan, like we said, without all the pitfalls of life
‘til we can feast without stressing ‘bout what we eatin’ at night
but ‘til then, i’ll be grinding until we all eatin’ right (yeah, alright)
so when the party dies, i’m hoping i still got time
to build me a legacy, and my name be immortalized
i’m hoping my circle flourish, no stressing pennies or dimes
i pray my brothers succeed with businesses multiplied
i pray one day i could look at my pops and tell them i love him
despite the fact that i’ve never embraced him or vocalized it
i’m hoping my mom retires, she overdue for vacation
the trauma that she been through, she be the toughest one alive
to my sisters and my cousins, i’m grateful for they support
even though affection is a luxury we can’t afford
but despite all of the clowning and joking and back and forth
i wouldn’t change it for a thing; they still my family, of course
this the life i been living, keep it true to a t
i wasn’t capping when i said i’ll move my guys out the p’s
think i’m acting when it’s culture, it’s the reason i breathe
so when i say that these my brothers, that’s the sh+t that i mean
word is bond
