Duly noted and taking notes, even when I ain't realise I was doing so
Didn't realize
I was just remembering while I was figuring
What all this was supposed to mean, and I mean
The meaning behind it was what he said all this was worth
All this was just so that there'd be some kinda meaning when mentioning me
Or mentioning my brothers beside me, cause you see
This all could've went another route
This all could've just turned into turn on whatever
And see the same turn that was predicted for when it was my turn, so I turned
Turned into what I wasn't supposed to
Turned into what everyone around us said we'd never get close to
But I ain't turn cause I chose to, I turned cause yo I ain't have a choice
Because a choice was made long ago
That being something other than who and what was around us was the road I was taking
They called it the road less traveled, I called it the only road I knew
Cause I knew what my day ones didn't
Call it privilege or call it blessings from the ceiling but it all was a given
Without taking for granted what I was given, I was driven to a rhythm
That said these mu'fuckas is waiting for you to lose your position, so watch how you pivot
Watch how you scrimmage, watch who you team up with and what's their vision, you get it?
Got it, and I ain't really do much I just, took a baton and ran with it
The same way I ran with who was shoulder to shoulder with me
Same view, same motive, same reasons for anyone to look our way and feel they know us
But the only difference is I had someone to tell me when to hold up
When to slow up, how to never let anyone speak on you before you get to show up
You lead the dialogue, you're the leader, so always look people in the eye
And never be afraid to ask or inquire unless you wanna run blind
And never respect anyone who don't feel the same for you and your kind
Celebrated, never tolerated, they'll either love it or hate it
So this is about me doing the same, me knowing that
If I can do for mine what was done for me then I can sleep comfortably
Because nothing won't be able to undo what I done did and same as it was for me
And nah, this ain't about putting down one, just lifting up another
This ain't about knocking those who ain't have who I had
This is more about all them never forgetting what that was like
And never wanting to repeat that type, never wanting to be that type, right
This is thanks to mine before me
And aiming to do the same for who came from off me
Hands folded together to make this shit work
That and more, but nothing less. Duly noted
