MynameisjOhn - Surviving the Times lyrics

[Verse 1] - God Knows I found my faith when I lost my religion And I lost my my friends but I found my position Could have lost my health but I found my legend This year I was 25, still no degree do I s** at life Will I save my cheques and then buy a house Or will I spend earning at the public house Got the numbers going backwards in bank account Depression told me I ain't better me, tell my man Shut Up! Doubt says I'll never breakthrough, tell my man Shut Up! Drake already told me to know myself so you know yourself When I get backlash I don't lash back coz that's backwards, and they say [MuRli] It would only make sense backwards But I gotta live it forwards Watch it become my mantra here onwards I got one goal in many forms And my body is nothing but a uniform One mind, too many thoughts So one life couldn't be enough But if one life wouldn't be enough Then one's job shouldn't be a bluff And I promised Mom I wouldn't say this stuff But to my last course I must refer as such All the money wasted shoulda bought a cake Coz on my last birthday I got none of it When my broke self tried his hand at baking Like my accent it was all over the place Taught me a lesson in common sense And my outlook hasn't been common since Surviving the times I had to adapt like Pac's rhymes I've been surfing the waves to the rhythm of the Irish times Better news awaiting though I just want to break records [Verse 2] - God Knows They wanna see the Dela and the Fela in the fella Said the performance was stellar Cheers, tears after acapellas GK that sharp sound blowing from the gut of Southern Africa But no friends I am not the Vuvuzela We make black and white music so you can colour us in I don't think you heard me I make black and white music so you can colour us in I'm from the naughty naughties, 40 40's gun bucking, crystal sipping Capone and Nore, Shaq and Kobe, Flash Adope, Limewire hobby In hindsight I am very sorry I shot myself before I made myself The baggier jeans got the more things didn't fit The tighter the clothes the more I can't breathe Bizarre! The more the visuals the more I can't see I can see nothing! [Verse 3] - MuRli Bred on a diet fufu Man from the home of Vodu The land of negro Tom and Desmond Tutu Shipped to the home of U2 Integration was due But tradition had me confused So this transition wasn't easy Easy as ... I used to be in NWA A pro tool for these beats like Dre Spitting everywhere like I be running out of toothpaste Every time mynameisjOhn hit me with a new sh... I can't curse coz I'm too blessed Impossible to compare me I'm something else Living in the kitchen always cooking up lava To make you feel the heat like you lost in Sahara Alhamdulillah! I got my best shot like the Dons from Mochilla And my dawgs got that worldwide fire Mozilla Since MJ's gone then I must be the trilla!!! But I be lying if I meant that My motherland ties be on my neck, where the money at? I still don't know how far is Zion So I strike this thing while it's hot like iron END
