Shelem - My Word lyrics

[Hook] The say the early bird gets worm You gotta wait your turn for the term But I'm too young to perch in the dirt So imma do my job and put in work 'til it hurt No waiting on the 1st or the 3rd I see the devil lurk with a smirk I promise imma cling 'Til you get everything You deserve in this earth Mama that's my word [Verse 1] Close your eyes and listen to a young Legend in the makin', never did the snakin' But I'm bout to get em with the venom of elation Make my people feel like they never been forsaken A smile on they face like we getting reparations Imma teach em bout the element of patience Keep it cool cause I got better ventilation Might start a country built in zen and meditation With a peace sign as the emblem of the nation I dream big, my feet slow, but see hope Today's kids go Debo for Cee-Lo They Nemo but me know we'll be ok With these quotes I need more than he's dope I'm sharp witted, a shark wit it, a stark critic I'm part livid, my heart vivid, but far timid It's long winded, in song minute, begone limit Cause I'm strong fitted, I'm gon' git it, come on wit it [Hook] The say the early bird gets worm You gotta wait your turn for the term But I'm too young to perch in the dirt So imma do my job and put in work 'til it hurt No waiting on the 1st or the 3rd I see the devil lurk with a smirk I promise imma cling 'Til you get everything You deserve in this earth Mama that's my word [Verse 2] I don't waste time with these uncouth laymen Pat em on the head, got em duck goose gamin Tell em deer, quit with all the headlight gazin' Ya voice sound horse, what the buck you sayin' I'm Forrest Gump how I run through the pages Word to the word with the words I'm amazing Destined for greatness I'm headed to the station Ever since the basement been medicine for patients Got the cure for the blues Know my folk feeling insecure from the news Never hesitate be afraid of a bruise Cause if you don't try you for sure gonna lose So we gon' run it Back and attack in the sack for the dub Til none of us collapse from a lack of the grub And everybody feel like a bundle of love free to Run feel the sun know it come from above [Hook] The say the early bird gets worm You gotta wait your turn for the term But I'm too young to perch in the dirt So imma do my job and put in work 'til it hurt No waiting on the 1st or the 3rd I see the devil lurk with a smirk I promise imma cling 'Til you get everything You deserve in this earth Mama that's my word
