[Verse 1]
Battles been fought before the day I was born
Mom and pops was cross the seas and they was scavenger poor
But they had a pot to eat with one channel on the television
Still showed their teeth smiling at the simple things in life 'cause it's free
Only one pair of shoes for like 52 weeks
One bed for like five heads, the whole family
Still found a way to dream big
With so much gravity, can't no struggle hold 'em down
It help them burn calories
Wa Gwan, wats di scene
That's yard talk
A goat tied to a tree
Bunch of dogs run loose just to visualize my roots
And that flower still bloomed
Shot for stars and they landed on the moon, uh
[Chorus]
That blueprint laid out the new land
Had to think outside the box
Had to try a new lens, had to fix within
Yeah, something like a new dent
Life can get tint, grab the wheel
That's how them corners get bent, uh
That blueprint laid out the new land
Had to think outside the box
Had to try a new lens, had to fix within
Yeah, something like a new dent
Life can get tint, grab the wheel
That's how them corners get bent, uh
[Verse 2]
Press play for the renegades
Stuck inside my ways
We don't follow unless there's gold being paved
Never been a slave, broke out the chains
Just to change niggas in a daze
We was trying to make it out the game
Had to switch lanes 'til I figured how to pave the lane
Had to make way, Flatbush ain't giving niggas plays
And the rest is fake
Gotta guard your energy, no shame
We was in the maze
Homies figured how to make it shake
Most niggas flake when they know it's business being made
Gotta watch who you follow when the people who you save
Be the homies that you love that be quick to change their ways
We was just being brothers, now we never been the same
That's a shame, put your family over dollars in this game
If you chasing only paper then your homies gon' feel played
Figured out how to prosper and make everyone feel saved
Or you end up losing people who was with you through the days
[Chorus]
That blueprint laid out the new land
Had to think outside the box
Had to try a new lens, had to fix within
Yeah, something like a new dent
Life can get tint, grab the wheel
That's how them corners get bent, uh
That blueprint laid out the new land
Had to think outside the box
Had to try a new lens, had to fix within
Yeah, something like a new dent
Life can get tint, grab the wheel
That's how them corners get bent, uh
