Opportunities & Threats Lyrics by Chris Cave

Room for Reflection

2019

[Verse 1:]
I'm on forbidden territory like a gringo
A shy appearance but the boy got a mean flow
What you mean though, she ain't fucking with me
Don't bust my ego, noticed how she's talking to me?
Stalking to be rap's next best MC
No stress in me I know y'all bitches testing me
Will put distress on whoever's standing next to me
Hell, I'll even buy the kid an MPC
I'll buy him chalk but you know I'll be the MVP
Real talk now you know that there's no jest in me
To all you one hit rappers: I will last you see
You're like 'His rap shit is gonna be death of me'
I get distracted too easily
Every girl on the block is here to tease me
But a solution it don't seem to reach me
I can't plan my future with no one here to teach me
Simultaneously had to deal with duty
Providing for my family and taking care of beauties
With two hands I tried to juggle them both
Came far but there's still a big struggle down the road
[Pre-Chorus:]
But I believe in my people, my skill and education
Believe I'll be peaceful with raps as meditation
I got one thing to say to the next generation:
Always put aspiration over reputation, that's my statement
Now put those lines on repeat
Y'all sit back in your chairs and accept the defeat
Buckle the belt of your seat, straight the heat on the beat
Then shed your tears and accept the fact you can't compete
[Chorus:]
I cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
Cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
I cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
I cross the t's, write the songs
Dot the i's, right my wrongs
[Verse 2:]
No father just a short borrow
Ain't got a brother
And I don't follow no role model
I ain't sorrow
Hard to swallow all the pills in the past
Hollow bullets
So I laugh last
Laugh last, pass that, smash that
The test is to accept your past
To not pass the test that's the test
The test is to neglect the rest (rest)
Do I do these things just to feed my ego?
Is there a ceiling and if so how do we know?
If so till when will I grow?
How the hell will I know?
I guess I'm left alone, so I’ma search it in the vinyl
[Bridge:]
Lonely nights out with my beats just to cope
The best but my peers seek a different dope
The later the time, the steeper the slope
Now every sunset discloses more hope
[Chorus:]
I cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
Cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
Cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
It is time to assess
Opportunities & threats
[Chorus:]
Cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
Cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
I cross the t's, write the songs, dot the i's, right my wrongs
I cross the t's, write the songs
Dot the i's, right my wrongs
