JoNiel - Greed

To be honest man I'm not trying to get recognized
You call it failure but that is where the true lesson lies
I'm on the gas but maybe I just ain't fast enough
Fasten up, when I blast off you ain't gon be laughing huh
Status is more of a curse than a blessing
There is so much more to life than just getting
Greedy people get but greedy people never have
I hope you sitting down cause I'm finna take you to class
Just stop
Look around
There's so much beauty in the world that goes unfound
And I'm a keep it real y'all niggas look like clowns
Success isn't measured by your sum of pounds
Or your weight
Let's get that straight
I'd rather work on me than get home after eight
And I stay to myself no picking off my plate
I know I'll be successful guess it's just my fate
(Huh) You niggas slacking on the race
I'm moving steady but I'm picking up the pace
It's not a competition or at least that's what they say
I just enjoy a challenge but ain't shit up in my way
(Hm) You do me dirty you gon pay
It ain't no threat but I just know the gang don't really play
I lost myself and found him felt like sheltering a stray
One day I'll disappear but my energy here to stay
Yea I'm dying for the cause that's a fact
Ain't to many niggas out here with their principles in tact
They gon claim they loyal but they loyalty lies with them racks
If they offered a milli I bet you'd stab me in the back
Bitch fuck you and fuck all that paper too
If you got my loyalty I wouldn't even go for two
But it's cool now that I got the foresight you ain't getting through
This a problem for the past bigger problems cause we grew
And we gon keep growing man
Train has already left the station you feel me
If there's no enemy within the enemy outside of you can't even touch you
And I'm really starting to understand that shit
Get in your head people you ain't gonna regret it
Trust
Laying down some heat
This was really made for me
I don't even need to try
I just do it naturally
Actually this a masterpiece y'all ain't matching me
I can slow it down but even then you still ain't passing me
Let me dive a little deeper I'm a vessel for the truth
Guarantee you'll never catch me lying when I'm in the stu
Imma set this bitch on fire if I keep dropping these jewels
Biggest fire in the nation yea I might just make the news
What they putting in them vaccines y'all don't even have a clue
Shit I don't either but I know my instincts do
I can feel it in my bones that shit isn't good for you
Yea it's cool right now but what about in 2032
Yea I'm looking down the line that's just what you got to do
Not just living for myself I'm living for my peoples too
Getting money yea that's cool but it's about what you gon do
If you ain't helping out the universe then it ain't helping you
(Huh) I'm giving game and its free
Man that's how you know I'm kind I'm giving game with no fees
But it took some effort not to let this world configure me
And it took a couple years but spiritually I'm a beast
God gave me more than two eyes I got three
Even when I'm being open you ain't really seeing me
You a G nigga please but if that's what you believe
If I got a cent for every time you lied I'd be wealthy
(Yea) The past is meant to be released
If you holding on to that it's kind of hard to find your peace
If you holding on to grief it's kind of hard to be happy
Living in the present will provide clarity and relief
But we addicted to the negativity
Not conditioned to be free stuck in cycles full of greed
If you learn how to believe you have everything you need
The universe will proceed to make your thoughts reality
