Lyrics and translation
Original
We still on that
Glow-Burger
It's whatever, faith too strong, God got somethin' better in mind, yeah (Statik Selektah)
I'ma live forever
Mama raised a go-getter, tough as Vanson leather
If an opportunity misses me, it's whatever
My faith too strong, I know God got somethin' better in mind, I get better in time
You can't dwell on the past, gotta learn from it, yeah
Gotta face your problems, can't turn from it
'Cause everybody got 'em, it ain't arbitrary
Still heavy is the crown on the contrary
It's the honorary rightful king, came to claim my position
Better watch the throne, it's what the game missin'
The sixth member of The Commission, but they ain't listen
They more worried how my chain glisten or what I'm whippin'
I know I'm destined for greatness, can feel my palms itchin'
A wise man once said that it was written
But I don't need a pen, I see the writings on the wall, call it superstitious
I got that Stevie vision
Yeah, and this is a song in the key of my life
I put my soul in these mics, ain't gotta think twice
When you know it's yours, you ain't gotta question
That's why I'm never stressin', I know it was all destined
I know, I know it was all destined
I knew that I'd be tested
Even when my back on the wall, I ain't fall, tell 'em all, God (we still on that), we still on that (look)
What's the highest duty of a man? Protect and provide for the fam
Perfect his true power from within
And even then, gotta know the right time to use it
Have enough self-control, so you won't abuse it
Family is everything
A man is nothin' if you lose it
Play the right hand, we all win, most these niggas clueless
Foolish, walkin' down the wrong path, fuck it if the shoe fits
Gotta let him wear it, he ain't tryna hear it
But deep down, it don't sit well in his spirit
Yeah, pray it only get clearer
Meantime, I'm startin' with the man in the mirror
I know, I know it was all destined
I knew that I'd be tested
Even when my back on the wall (ay), I ain't fall, tell 'em all, God (we still on that), we still on that (man)
Takin' advantage of my vantage point
Cannon pointed at my adversaries that I can't anoint
The fifth horseman, appointed to redirect the apocalypse
In the Impala, flippin' the hydraulic switch
Steerin' the wheel of fortune, still, I'm ten steps ahead of these niggas
Somethin' surely afoot
Doin' this shit blindfolded, stare in the mirror, can't even look myself in the eye
I don't even know how I look
But the long-term legacy'll stand taller than yours
On a mission impossible with probable cause
Family connected to me indefinitely
Enemies close, I'm a devious host
Smarter martyr disguised as a remarkable author
Take a glass of absinth in my absence
It may just make your heart grow fonder or at least, grow stronger
I gotta go farther for the sake of my daughters
Uh, I said I gotta go farther for the sake of my daughters
For the sake of my soul (we still on that)
I know, I know it was all destined
I knew that I'd be tested
Even when my back on the wall, I ain't fall, tell 'em all, God (we still on that), we still on that
