Illusions


[A.K.]
Sip the elixir, thinking back on how I came up
And since the dank in the swisher
Nigga just one of those days
Flip the page
Now a nigga praised
Every city rip the stage
Only 23 but I make sense
Cause I got Jordan wage

Goldilocks I gotta eat
Even if it's not my plate
Momma see the god in me and that's everything that it take, ate
Got no time to waste I'm trying to find a way, ondelay
Keep my generation straight without delay
It was written
Pimpin ain't my decision
It just my instinct
Use a pencil control your mental
But think for instant
First you light the sour
Push the throttle to the infinite
Your girl gonna get tense a bit
But it ain't no good if it ain't no risk
Now everyday we celebrate
One step closer to the gates
Told me to toast towards my faith
But I just showed him that I'm great
I just showed em as I take over, the waits over
Like precious on the scale, told her
I cannot let that control me, I'm gold
Lifted off that strong
Cali' bushes keep me calm
Light that blueprint
Now we loose, feel like Lucy on my tongue
Spread that truth up in these poems
Gather youth to break down walls
All my troops suited for war
Salute me like late Shakur

A.K. be feasting
I tell 'em take it or leave it
I use to stay on the deep end
Now we eat steak when we feasting
That motivate me to be something
More than slaves
I'm gonna keep fucking up your playlists
We'll keep bumping from the stages
UA the greatest, yea

[Hook]x2
All that glitter and gold
My niggas know all you need to grow
Is all that fire stored in your soul
The road you chose reflect where you gon' go
If it's looking cold, spark up that fire inside your soul

[KNOWLEDGE]
You've been living your whole life
Thinking that you're in control
The truth is, that you're not in control
More exactly, there is no you to be in control
Every action your body has taken
And every thought that's risen in your mind
Has happened without anyone behind the curtains making it happen
Everything that's within your experience
Is entirely a product of past events
Just as your heart beats without anyone's approval
So your mind thinks without anyone's approval
And your body acts without anyone's approval

[Issa Gold]
Who put the god inside you?
Check inside your mirror
A nigga been connected to the source of placentas
Born in disaster, raised a master
I had to pick apart patterns in my past
So I can't lose
Started demented learned my lessons, on top of blessings
Life in depression, showed me my path
I chose the haven
But adolescent, nigga ain't know to use my weapon
My mind now grippin, blaw, blaw
A nigga step in
Still an asshole
I'm watching my cash flow
Addicted to match smoke
Ain't stuntin' on bad hoes
My heart still got mad coal
But still working on that dough
I'm human, I make this music to help me evolve my doing
I'm using up raise the movement
We're all becoming elusive
If we don't come together my nigga, we gon' be losing
You busy just snoozing
I'm putting my two cents
My life is the fullest, I'm tying up loose ends

My mental presence
Cinderella, ain't start a peasant
But living lesson
Show me my mind a Smith & Wesson
Loaded up, watch me cock back
Acid making me flash back
Dropping feces on these tracks
Smoking loud, where my weed pack?
Guess I'm Sayin'
Yea, I'm conscious but still need saving
A work in training but I'm not like these other basics, [?] stating
Put it to use, I never waste it
The gold I'm chasing but still unplug to find the matrix

[Hook]x2
All that glitter and gold
My niggas know all you need to grow
Is all that fire stored in your soul
The road you chose reflect where you gon' go
If it's looking cold, spark up that fire inside your soul

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
