Steve Hong - Bloodline

Yeah
1988, docs heard me roar
I was born shouting, call me Dragonborn
I know my momma and pops had a dream to make
They had to figure out a life for their children's sake
So we in the states, and there ain't no time to waste
Gotta find a way to keep food on our plates
Gotta see if I can fit in with this foreign face
Gotta lot to do before the day I'm feeling profound, like I'm a pro now
Had a lot to learn, but I know now
So few have stayed, many walked out
Where in history will I go down?
Cause I'm so high on this game, I could levitate
Got a mark to leave before I fade away
Rise or fall, I'm a detonate
So fuck your rules, I'm a renegade

The world has me triggered
I'm sensitive to the people's sound
And Satan ain't just knocking on my door
He trying to break it down
And we all got voices in our heads
Whispering in our minds
Manipulate my thoughts
Trying make me think something like

Uh, people all around me spitting venom and I hate them
And all these haters coming at me like they got a vendetta
I got these lyrical berettas, everyday in my agenda
They keep coming and coming
But I ain't running, no running
And I always gotta keep it one hundred (Aye!)
Even when the world's cold-blooded (Aye!)
What I've said I'd do, I've done it (Aye!)
Do or die, that's how I run it (Aye!)

They speaking on my name, that's blasphemy
They'll do anything it takes to get ahead of me
These critics want to rip me, but they'll rest in peace
Once we all take our place in destiny
Cause I'm in that flow state, new state of mind
I ain't here to steal just want what's mine
I ain't gonna die without a fight
Its in my bloodline

Its in my bloodline
I feel it in my bloodline
Its in my bloodline
I feel it in my bloodline

They underestimate me, but that's a mistake that's made commonly
And honestly, it's hilarity, these friends turn out to be the enemies
They've all been coming at me with nonsense
Thinking I give a damn about their two cents
I'm just aiming for that currency
To make in my sleep
To hear my phone sound off, something like (Cha-ching!)
Cause adversity is nothing new to me
The great question is the length of my ability
I've had a granddad that was kidnapped
A young dad who's been stabbed
So I wonder what God's got in store for me?
Fuck fitting in, I'm trying to build a legacy
But if all's well that ends well, then may God grant me durability

Eyes in the mirror, I see life's take it's toll
The deeper that I stare, the more seems to unfold
For those sleeping on me
Just know I'm staying woke
They underestimate me
I come back sevenfold

So boom, I hit them with the element of surprise
Just an L and a diss for you guys, no disguise
Hit them with the truth, and see the switch-up in the their mood
Disbelief in their eyes
Cause you got sour moods, and salty tears
Jealousy smells worse than fear
And its worse, the further I get away
I'm in the clouds while ya'll still taste the rain
Cause I sing, I dance, I rap, and I write
I motivate, I teach, and I fight
So when they praise, no I can't deny
So doubt me now, and I'll change your mind

I'm in that flow state, new state of mind
I ain't here to steal just want what's mine
I ain't gonna die without a fight
Its in my bloodline
Its in my bloodline
I feel it in my bloodline
Its in my bloodline
I feel it in my bloodline

They all want to check where I'm at
And they want to know what I been up to
Listen, my life's audio biography is in my music
I'll let the lyrics do the talking

Look, I want to be generous
But I'd rather be honest
This is child's play
I swear these artists
Lyrically inanimate
Tryna sound "Compton"
But they sound straight outta Hooked On Phonics
Turn that shit off, it's bothering
I'd rather listen to Jocko Willink
Ya'll just stick to the commentary
While I hustle and make this shit monetary
They think I did all this shit overnight
The same who say "Must be genetic, right?"
I started from scratch
Took action, planned it, and never looked back at it
Made a few stacks at it
So I'll take the heat till I D.I.E
That's the only way I'll ever R.I.P
Who's got my back, His name G.O.D
The music and the money, that's all I see!
