Given This Gift Lyrics by Deecon

W.A.Y. (What A Year)

2016

Hook: x2
(Brianna M.)
I was given this gift
No need for a star shooting wish
I worked hard for this
Now I'm on top of the highest cliff

Vamp: x 2
(Fix)
Grimmy nigga
Yea Came from nothing
I was on the block
With them Ogs
I was moving rocks
Shoulda stuck to ball
So I served a fiend
She OD'd

Hook: x2
(Brianna M.)
I was given this gift
No need for a star shooting wish
I worked hard for this
Now I'm on top of the highest cliff

Verse 1:
(Bobby Gore)
I say
Born with a silver spoon
Filled with crack
Curse of the 80s baby
Deal with that
Hate that I
Missed my childhood
It’s all good
I sorta understood
The adults around me
They wouldn’t use
If they could
But it’s poison
On this side of there hood
You either buying or selling
Inhaling or smelling
Dun heard the loud silences
& the silent yelling
Praying that it stops
We the kids on the block
But got more sense
Than the fiends on the rock
Tooting blows up they nose
Or taking L’s on that leaf
Wouldn’t believe half the things
I dun seen in these streets
Thats why
Everyday that I wake up
I gotta thank god
Cause only lord knows
How I beat the odds
Let’em know I got the message
Eyes open
And that I really love my present
I’m focused

Vamp: x 2
(Fix)
Grimmy nigga
Yea Came from nothing
I was on the block
With them Ogs
I was moving rocks
Shoulda stuck to ball
So I served a fiend
She OD'd

Hook: x2
(Brianna M.)
I was given this gift
No need for a star shooting wish
I worked hard for this
Now I'm on top of the highest cliff

Verse 2:
(Vasawa)
What’s your purpose?
We’re in our last days, who care?
Cross paths. Who dare?
Hung our ancestors, from the trees
From the timbs, we wear
Taking pics. Joking. No emotion
Embedding fear. Splitting families
Some stood up, the rest couldn't
Running with caution, it was important
They face, the stars that face northern
Harriet Tubman was gods gift
Like J Cole to roc nation
With her inspiration imma free man
Twelve want me boxed in
I ain't going. I’m bailing
I’m pleading the fifth. Ain’t telling
Fast forward. They stole our skills
Reverse roles. Meme’s there ace in the hole
We’re laughing and sharing
They’re preparing to take control
Putting satan in his sheep clothes, whoa
Racism alive it change clothes
Convince betrayal over talent
Empty the clip let'em have it
It’s tragic, kids don't believe, in magic
All they want is a contract, for being a savage
I ain't mad at cha
But the industry tricking artists with big advances
I’m taking my chances, with my own conscious
It’s transparent. The hood filled with single parents
Intelligence over ignorance
Been the one, before neo. Red. Blue pill, choose one
Then unlock your goals, like Xbox achievements
Nevamind bro. The ropes we were now, engraved with gold
Diamonds. VVS studded. Not caring about what shorty
Had to go through for you to look cold. Friend or foe
Life too short, to hold grudges
Want us to be there crutches despite raping our woman
Conceiving mix children. Tainting the bloodline
Feeding us poison. You know what’s important
I’m giving you this gift to save time focus....

Hook: x2
(Brianna M.)
I was given this gift
No need for a star shooting wish
I worked hard for this
Now I'm on top of the highest cliff
