Better watch out for your soul
Make sure you livin gold
[Verse 1]
I'm just tryna fly free In a city full of birds
Mockin Jays, ya career headed south, you heard
My apprehension says my child's adolescence is at stake
Cuz the people that surround me in my state
Rather be on social media, writing bout the next trending topic
It's an option, but the second that yo timeline is poppin
You pick up yo phone, doublin' home, watchin
The nonsense
Of the ignorant, bliss, perfection is far from topic
I be watchin from a far, the brightest star in the galaxy
Mister Mikal remains happily
Cuz I, know in due time I'm gon prevail
Cuz my quality controlling all the simple minds
Well, in my mind
That's what I picture, my mentality differs
I propose vivid scriptures
It's yo loss if you don't listen
I just keep it real with myself
Figure my niggas gon listen, cuz I'm persistent
Just to add, in addition that you know
[Hook]
I got that quality control
Better watch out for your soul
Make sure you living gold
You know
You got the quality music right in your soul
I got that quality control
Better watch out for your soul
Make sure you living gold
You know
I got that quality music right in my soul
[Verse 2]
Lotta niggas in my state is lackin knowledge
Yeah, look nigga I am not it
You novice if you ain't makin sacrifices
I withdrew all my time just to make direct deposit
But a 9-5 wasn't cuttin it, check
I had a million different ways just to cover my neck
I'm in the ring, sparring with my dark passenger
The biggest challenger that I had face
Losing stamina
I analyze my analytical penmanship, picked up the pen my shit
Flow like ship
Found a calling, it was time to set sail
Whether my dreams or reality, I'm livin in hell
But I proceed towards my destination
Without hesitation
Mom told all the right things would come from waiting
But I'm hard headed, it's hard, I'm headed down the boulevard
Walking tall with a couple scars
And you know
[Hook]
I got that quality control
Better watch out for your soul
Make sure you living gold
You know
You got the quality music right in your soul
I got that quality control
Better watch out for your soul
Make sure you living gold
You know
I got that quality music right in my soul
[Verse 3]
I lived a couple life times in 20 years
Mental slavery is trappin my mind
And I got tears runnin down my cheeks
While i open up to my mom, figure the songs ain't the only way to keep me going strong
I let it out
Without a doubt, she understood
That anxiety and depression's in my life for good
I got good intentions but bad habits of living
In Hell's Kitchen
Not into gettin money by sinnin'
I'm gettin money by winnin and being true to myself
Overlooked but I'm gifted, and in my future is wealth
Now that's good quality, inside of me should
Lye a decent personality, a prodigy
Could it be I'm the one?
Take a look at what's to come
For the golden child to hold it down, my salary come
But I do it for the love of the music, and share the pain
This that quality music, knowledge is all I got to gain
So you know
[Hook]
I got that quality control
Better watch out for your soul
Make sure you living gold
You know
You got the quality music right in your soul
I got that quality control
Better watch out for your soul
Make sure you living gold
You know
I got that quality music right in my soul
