[Verse 1: Oddisee] I got a purpose and a plan, and it's workin' Feeling like I'm running on a circuit, but it's worth it Paint a picture perfect, with the blood that I'm exertin' It ain't hurting, so the further I'mma push it into service Polish up the surface cause I see that order matters And the shallows is be deep enough for peaking up and flourish Hiding in the bushes with a motive and a mission I'm jumping out over bridges, no parachute or a cushion You know they only listen when the war's at a distance With the misses get nearer, nothing started us, but is it? Repentin in a minute so the ending is where its [justice?] Nah I would rather do this, give all me 'til it's finished I hope they gon' say Fortwell Yeah Fortwell Brought wells to the desolate for quenchin' I know that my intentions go unnoticed And part of me wants attention The art of me, you get what I didn't See I fought good [Chorus: Maimouna Youssef] x2 I will fight the good fight, I will, go where there's no path - and leave behind a trail [Verse 2: Oddisee] I'mma make a difference, I'm trying to make the thang that makes the difference Wait - let me explain You see it's bigger than the individual My armor stay invisible My efforts you can cite them in the pain (What's realer than that?) Got me feeling like the sentiment is of my own Keep calm carried on like a gentlemen But I'm in the arena, with hyenas And the only way to beat them, that I see is with intelligence (What's realer than that?) Being black with a brain They rather see me asking for the ball than for a raise Yeah I could dumb it down and get a buck Or smarten up and get the grave I'm just tryna make a living in the grade Try to fit me in the space I'll make you comfortable But I was sent to trouble you But when my calling finish, take the survey The pen is mightier than swords Only weapon that I got You're naive to think it's wordplay What's realer than that? [Chorus: Maimouna Youssef] x2 [Bridge: Gary Clark Jr.]
