(Whispered) Yeah. It’s a long road.
Gang Jeff ZM. We came so far.
Yeah, the shadows are long tonight.
Just me and the echoes.
I came from nothing, look how far I had to crawl
Watching the empire rise, watching the idols fall
I’m blessed, yeah, the heavens saw the tears I shed
While you were talking loud, I was working instead
No size, no frame, but I carry the weight of kings
I don’t need a gun to know what the silence brings
I move in the shadows, I’m a ghost in the grain
Tracing the history, dancing inside of the pain
They got no say, no, they don’t see the path I walk
They keep on buzzing like flies, that’s just the way that they talk
I’m a real one, Jeff ZM, yeah, I’m standing tall
Even when the floor shakes and the towers start to fall
I’m the keys killer, Jay Nasty, the top of the line
Turning the grief into gold, yeah, I’m claiming what’s mine
I roll the game like weed, let the smoke fill the air
Twisted in the grain, yeah, it’s more than a prayer
They burning on my floss, but I’m standing without my toes
It’s a rhythm in the struggle that nobody knows
I don’t play with no shit, keep the circle real tight
History repeats but I’m steady holding the light
Nominations in the spirit, yeah, the legacy grows
Above the useless niggas, that’s just how it goes
They got no say, no, they don’t see the path I walk
They keep on buzzing like flies, that’s just the way that they talk
I’m a real one, Jeff ZM, yeah, I’m standing tall
Even when the floor shakes and the towers start to fall
I’m the keys killer, Jay Nasty, the top of the line
Turning the grief into gold, yeah, I’m claiming what’s mine
Can you feel the ache? It’s deep in the marrow now
Broken promises and sweat upon my brow
But I ain't folding, no, I’m bending with the wind
Waiting for the new day to begin again
Respect is a big thing, you either got it or not
I’m keeping my focus, yeah, I’m holding the spot
They got no say, no, they don’t see the path I walk
They keep on buzzing like flies, that’s just the way that they talk
I’m a real one, Jeff ZM, yeah, I’m standing tall
Even when the floor shakes and the towers start to fall
I’m the keys killer, Jay Nasty, the top of the line
Turning the grief into gold, yeah, I’m claiming what’s mine
Yeah. Jeff ZM. Jay Nasty.
We came far. We stay far.
Just keep walking.
It’s all respect.
No size. Just soul.
