lyrics

Verse (Kardinal Offishall)
Yo
Wake up and I look at my phone knowing
That I should be praying leaving temptation alone gone
Off in my zone king of my home but I’m
A jack of all trades plus an ace with a full load
Success is destination on a lonely road
Traveling on my own friendships erode chuh
I’m trying to be a better man wit a better wife
No adidas but I’m trying to the earn the best stripes
I live a life with microphones and ego tripping
Chance meetings wit big hugs and narcissism
Lip service and they expect a tip is given
It’s funny how black love is seen as terrorism
The peace symbol is my only gang sign
Codes I carry outdated like a land line
Syllables are land mines in this metaverse
I navigate easily Jah controlling my universe “blow”

Chorus (Kardinal Offishall)
You can’t live in your history
You can’t live in your destiny
After day, you’re not reality
Reality

You can’t live in your history
You can’t live in your destiny
After day, you’re not reality
Reality
