lyrics

The only life I know
As an artist we go
To the edge of insanity
Tryna save humanity
And no one is saving us
They constantly draining us
Proving to be dangerous
When ya chasing the fame
Put emotions into it
The only reason to do it
And ya people think it’s fly
But they don’t ever buy
They wana criticize though
Say what you should do and don’t
Takes money to make money’s
A suicide quote
My action speaks
Claiming the renaissance skill set
Ya actions weak
You ain't got the skills yet
I’m always nice
Ain’t gotta say my name yet
I paid the price
You laid away ya game set

I’ll be 80 years old when my story gets told
It’ll sit in ya soul it’ll never get old
When I was brining the heat
They left me out in the cold
They were digging in dirt
I was digging for gold
To keep it simple plain
To keep from goin' insane
To keep from blowin' out my brains
And keep the truth in my name
This is how I get down
Ain’t no milking the crowd
And I can see you now
wiping sweat from your brow
When my record was repeated on social media hype
They deleted me believing I dropped the mic for a bike
My actions speak
Claiming the renaissance skill set
Ya actions weak you ain’t got the skills yet
I’m always nice
You better get my name right
I paid the price
You laid away the game type

Black Duke is about fighting, Surviving conflict and proving that longevity does matter in a form that is associated with youth. ... more
