history lessons lyrics
[intro]

samurai baby

[verse 1]
look and i’ve been thinking properly
i’ve been finding different ways that i can change my story
i be flipping through the pages of the ones before me
of the legacies they left and how they changed to legends
i’ve been working on myself, like i be puppet making
racking blueprints of good rap
and how they changed through history
i’ve been every learning every style, even down to 90s
every message that they passed, and every records broken
every music that went platinum even down to golden
from biggest of the biggest, hope i reach those moments
from the lowest of the lowest, seems there’s no avoiding
every music underrated, and ignored for nothing

[hook]
this streets taught me history lesson
history lessons i’ve been teaching
hope you listening closely
history lessons i’ve been learning
hope i reach the summit
history lessons that they got me
hope i’ll be a legend
[verse 2]
look and i’ve been thinking properly
i’ve been searching for the methods
on how to change the thinking, of the people all around me
will they read my story, from the moment i was breathing
they just kept on doubting, they’ve been laughing at my weakness, said i’m not for rapping, matthew 6 described these people
it just validates me, i’m not looking for the clout or here to get approving
imma do my thing my way, you’ll think i’m makaveli
i just studied all the greatest, doesn’t mean i’ll copy
like a flower in a swamp, i standing out from others
and my music be so different, from another planet
you be thinking that i’m crazy, guess it’s part of growing

[verse 3]
i’ve been talking to the angels, know they saw my glory
they just told imma make it, just to take slowly
keeping on writing stories to the ones that down below me
distant places i be reaching, ain’t no time for quitting
but i be feeling losing, i be feeling like i’m falling
i be feeling like i’m quitting, all this pressure gat me thinking
like my dream will never ending, like i’ll never reach the summit
like i’ll never meet my idols, never stand before the thousands, never spread a touching message, never talk to all the children, needing loving and attention, feel i’ll never get acknowledged, never be the one they proud of, never setting an example
always be the one they skipping, in the trash, will end my music
[hook]
this streets taught me history lesson
history lessons i’ve been teaching
hope you listening closely
history lessons i’ve been learning
hope i reach the summit
history lessons that they got me
hope i’ll be a legend

[verse 4]
yeah look and i’ve been feeling holy
i’ve been feeling all the blessing falling all around me
i just thought that i was lonely, he be walking with me
sunday jet packs i be wearing, how’s the heaven looking
looking down at all this n+ggas, like what a pity
you don’t know what you enjoying, all these graces fully
every crime ever committed and you still keep breathing
and your family still be moving, going out and coming
fully cover with protections, of the angels he sending
but the devil still be hunting, sending bullets like he hunting
every souls that has been walking, on this tired little planet
filled pain and all the struggles, of the leaders of tomorrow
but i know that we making gon make it, celebrating where we coming, make my mummy smiling at me and my daddy feeling happy, sponsor kids and take them places
take my friends and change their status, pay tuition for my siblings, education still important, win awards and making history
time to fill the trophy cases, stepping out and people screaming
if i didn’t make this music, i might be the one who screaming, i be regretting i didn’t try it, took a step and now i’m flying
thanks god i didn’t listen
[outro]
(timel the samurai)
when people ask me what inspired my songs or my style of rapping, i just say it all come down through history, from american rappers to nigerian rappers, i studied everybody, from a tribe called quest to jay z to j. cole to logic, from mode 9 to m.i to olamide, these guys taught me rap without even knowing they were doing it, i learnt it everything i can from them and i hope it takes me far
