reachingnova - in these times lyrics

[verse 1: reachingnova]
how many times must i remind you that i’m the one?
as i monetize rap while everybody has fun
same muf+cka been getting it since the slum
macombs road, bx the borough, that’s where i’m from
longwood, kingsbridge ave, that’s where i hung
you at work, but your girlfriends bed is where i’d come boy
i ain’t proud of my old ways
henny hit the ground, we was crushing up cocaine
it is what it was, we ain’t judging on old days
i don’t seek approval, i’m in touch with my own lane
on to the next, no reminiscing on old flames
i won’t even hold you i’m in touch with some old thangs
d+mn boy, i do this sh+t for the fam boy
it’s still that, i instill life through real rap
it’s a given, you don’t leave the game you will cr+p
tryna get, one up on your boy, i will lap
i done seen rappers fade away like bad trends
here now, tomorrow we regard you in past tense
oh man
i remember us back then
memories, we’ve accumulated like back rent
all for what?
cus after this where that sh+t go?
i hope to see you in an afterlife where we reconnect and we get low
they say the name of the game of this world’s to get dough
society will steer you away when you tryna get home
media has people confused man
i don’t even know what to say
gotta think about it, we ain’t even make up the rules man
they just tryna control what you think
they all wanna score, keep your soul in the paint
they gon tell you what it is, gotta feel what it ain’t
intuition gon show you who the real or faint
gotta learn to see the devil when they feed you a saint
yeah , it’s way deeper than what it seems
the world will tell you think black or white when it’s really green
out the box sh+t, i got the glow like it’s billy jean
keep it deep, talk about life, what it really means
cia sh+t, and if god is a real thing
covid nineteen, 5g, and vaccines
new world order, one government, one regime
versus one people who don’t play on the same team
folks, this is bigger than business sh+t
we really gotta start overcoming our differences
welcome to the truth, soul delivering lyricist
influenced spirit, i reveal the gimmick sh+t
i think we’d all agree about the times that we’re living in
sh+t is crazy, more uncertain than maybe
long gone the days house parties with leybi
raised through the 90’s, i was born in the eighties
and if i realized anything, it’s everything changes
some try to fight it, try to keep it all the same, but don’t make it
some try to hide the pain, they medicate or maybe get faded
and who the f+ck am i to go a judge them, i ain’t come as the savior
money ain’t my god, so i ain’t trading souls for the paper
i try to keep it peace, i gotta keep it grounded like anchors
you’re either right or wrong homes, i ain’t playing no favorites
i learned, you ever wanna master, gotta cover the basics
cats saying, once you make it, like i wanna be famous
but i get it though
see where i’m from fame’s the top of the hill
most labels hire youth, got em hype on a deal
meanwhile target youth, influence how they feel
they push hate and teach love will be the reason you’re k!lled
so you act hard, cus really you don’t know how to feel
everything you learn, they wanted you to learn and that’s real
understand, me and you, it ain’t the same how we built
had to redesign the mind, the truth gave me the chills
had to detach from everything i’m thinking was real
where i’m from you take a shot because you didn’t get k!lled
and most parents die broke, there’s no inheriting mills
lord, i pray
cus right now they give thanks then tomorrow’s a grudge
if i give you what yah want you gon tell me it’s love
all your rules for friendship, i’m good i’ve had me enough
i’d rather you and i depart so there isn’t an us
truth is i’m too lenient with trust
there’s certain things with you i couldn’t even discuss
you talk behind the back of all the people you suck
like i’m really posed to believe you out here bigging me up
well guess again, that was then
see everything is temporary, it’ll come to an end
cus if we leave it up to habit prolly do it again
so guess again, i am him
that’s why i never take a day off when i’m benching the pen
relate to so many, n+ggas think i’m mentioning them
but guess again, i get it in
it’s only love to anybody i consider a friend, or fam, or whoever’s on the other side of the fence
don’t second guess, that’s what it is
yeah, that’s what it is
swear
