Jaydense - STEM THE TIDE (feat. IMYOUNGWORLD)

Getting this different look in my eye
Lil pep to my step, like you can't stem my tide
Finally arrived in a better state of mind, but
Still searching for a better place in time
See I'm the same kid from way back, just now a made man
See the way I state facts gon get me paid in advance, yo
I got labels making plans and hoes holding out they hands, yo
I made some moves these fools couldn't comprehend
Addict for notepads loaded with elite raps
At it again, like I relapsed
Mic stands posing as rehab
Junkie for hip hop, and zip lock bags
Filled with green crops to get high fast
Heart so cold, I fear I'll bleed black
Send my mind to blue skies with all the green grass
Couple drags got me gone off my ass
Drown in my thoughts, in time I'll come back
In touch with my flaws, I'm crazy for that
In love with my art, yo they hate me for that
I'm persuaded and swayed by the bass when it slap
My game stays in tact, I'm erasing the gap
Stay chasing a bag to stuff the safe with some cash
Try to stray away from temptations I know will end bad
Stay in my lane till I make it at last
Times change, I leave the pain in the past
I'm humbled by what I had, and grateful for what I have
I owe this to myself, to see if it's who I am
Yeah
I'm the same kid from way back just now a made man
See the way I state facts gon get me paid in advance
Yo
Where I'm from it gets colder than 11 degrees
Pops did that time, had me searching for his letters to read
No hard feeling cause it gave me something better to see
He looked in my eyes and said; you gon be better than me
Came a long way from dj sets, if you retrace steps
And those sketches no checkers cause we play chess
Who up against us, put the bank on it, we take bets
I know my pen game is the strongest that's why we take checks, ugh
The Grammy awards couldn't withstand the applause
I get from these jams that I'm on
I keep a damp in the draws, a clamp in the jaw, he ran from the lord
My bro gon take a stand for that charge
I'm outstanding, I don't need no understanding from y'all
Getting this different look in my eye
Lil pep to my step, like you can't stem my tide
Finally arrived in a better state of mind, but
Still searching for a better place in time
Yeah I'm the same kid from way back
Just now a made man
See the way I state facts gon get me paid in advance, yo
I got labels making plans and hoes holding out they hands, yo
I made some moves these fools couldn't comprehend
