K.O. - Nineteen lyrics

Yo this my life and I'm living it, Yo this work I be giving it This life diminishin', My mindset is envisioning The ball in my hand best believe I'mma pivot it 518 stand up, yo my team finna get the chip Knock em out with the fist of a punchline It's lunch time We having emcees signed and unsigned I shed light on these dudes, give em that sunshine Life is a struggle no doubt but yo sometimes.... I see my dreams come true, life getting easier Cuz after hardship comes ease, it hits like meteors But it's a cycle, so here comes the media Back at it again, deceiving ya, misleading ya And it don't stop there, encyclopedias Be written by Europeans selective amnesia You want the truth, gotta understand the game son It ain't a good thing that hip hop met the fame son It was a revolution, the roots in which it came Was pointing out injustice had to go like Kurt Cobain Had to stop the flame, take the seed outta the grain But the spirit still here, and we always remain We back at it, I'm ill at it like Illmatic 19 in the game, man I rap so savage Uh one time for Sooriya for Damascus Two for those that spoke up now in caskets Three for whole wide world the whole atlas Four for the dudes on that survival tactics We back man, this my lyrical practice The Nubian dynasty, gon wash y'all like baptists
