The Shift from Grave Shift by Quake Bandana

Up and out like the stars to stomp the yard
I thought dancing with the devil would surely even my odds
God I was made in your image its no façade
So when I see that water I'll know if its a mirage Lord

Grave Shift before I work I'm working hard
My family's battery till they drop my brothers charge
I got a bunch of Nas when I ask for a brave heart
I'm the life of the party we gathered at grave yards

I took a whole lot of losses but I aint loosing
Covid couldn't take away my great taste for music
I was making magic while you was making excuses
I been sick for years now ya'll niggaz scared of mucus

I prepared a table for the ones I wanna eat with
Just to find out I'm the one they wanna compete with
A key to success should never be a secret
For years I been waking niggaz up who not sleeping

I'm out cheifing If I'm not deep in it
or getting neck like a pendant I' taking care of business
I seen trees if I plant seeds in it
and if the door is ajar I'll put my weed in it

Kick it open cause we winning
as focus as bifocals I see vivid the whole team winning
while I'm acting sarcastic though it seems friendly
I'd say I lied you won cause I'm Hakeem nigga

Legend the great wasn't a given title
But I'ma give it back to ya'll cause I am not an Idol
Pacman to my brother when I connect the dots
Send him a couple power pellets to endure the clock

Ghost died now this bandana is all I got
He past right after his Covid shot
That's my brother from Gary we had a scary plot
Carry his name on my back and take him to the top

To get as far as I got man I suffered allot
I worked harder when life was tougher to watch
And when I seen my uncle Kevin in that box
I knew this shit would never stop

So I turnt it up a notch I wont ever quit
I'm on some forever shit deserving what I settle with
I will and this unicycle I'm pedaling
Moving so fucking fast I'm getting scared of it

Why pick sides when its all irrelevant
I'm focused on my growth and everything I'm developing
They find out that I'm from Memphis they'll be mind blown
You gotta show a nigga in a different time zone

Its 901 bitch every state that I'm in
First they love me then they hate me then they love me again
I grew up with these niggaz thought you'd want me to win
Whole time scared I'll be better than them

I done spent so many years being the help
I have a guilty conscious every time I do for myself
But this time around I'm focused on me
Plus I'm better than these niggaz imagine to be
