g-notes - destiny lyrics

[verse 1]
i’ve been marked for death at a very young age
mom and pop chose the states after having death threats
we came over in a plane with nothing to our name
no speaker english, sure things weren’t the same
mom’s cutting grass up in star island
while the owner was out chilling, always violent
one room apartment, the closets where i slept
i imagined they wet, but laughter was kept
it was better than eleven, i was sharing three rooms
first called kieran, a three_color datsun
later cleaning up for six pops with the room
while the son grew to learn what the streets rule
old enough now, man, time to start school
kids would make fun of me, call me a fool
krs and hip_hop, i’m learning english too
deandre, my closest friend, man, he was cool
james was there too to help put out the fuel
when cats wanted to fight, you know, after school
they would label me ld, call me fatty
till one day a big wind, i knocked out his kids front t__th

[chorus]
just when i’m losing my study
you’ll see, it’s in me
and if you don’t believe it’s true
you can search within the walls
cause it’s in you
[verse 2]
mom’s got a better job managing a building
paying no rent sounded good, even if it’s in the hood
they thought, what harm could it do?
three blocks down, they chose to move
575 north east, 143rd street
things are looking really good, feeling really good
pop’s got a new trailer and the paint cost
now we can buy clothes, things that is ours
but i learned money has all kind of power
dme thought, let’s start off moving powder
middle school days, weed all up in the locker
james joined the game, now we moving like soccer
dme learned from the true corner clockers
you know them cash words were white tees, beige stockers
found comfort in the golden days of hip_hop
stealing rap tastes, son, you know non_stop
by the same time, the block is getting shot up
one dark evening, i lost my man d
hurt so bad to the truth i couldn’t see
question in my mind, what’s my destiny?

[chorus]
it’s where i’m living, where i study
you’ll see, it’s in me
and if you don’t believe it’s true
you can search within the walls
[verse 3]
so i wrote and i wrote, making no sense
something in the air always made me feel tense
everywhere i went, i was on the defense
and the block more and more getting intense
at the age of 15, was sent off to jail
couple days later, i was out on the bail
feeling like this earth, man’s living h_ll
trapped in a cell, but i couldn’t just yell
couldn’t run my feet, let it learn hard spell
thought deep within me, demons they dwell
until one day, i couldn’t take it no more
fell to my knees, who is this jesus?
king of all kings, tell me what can he bring
to a life that hangs on a thin string
kinda like biggie, i’m ready to die
was i meant to survive? tears fell from my eyes
in a very low whisper i asked him why
in loving words, he replied
son, receive me, your dreams and visions will succeed
spit my word, it’s your destiny

[chorus]
it’s where i’m living, where i study
you’ll see, it’s in me
and if you don’t believe it’s true
you can search within the walls
’cause it’s not you
