Malc - More to It

If it ain't original it ain't memorable
It's never how you start yo story
It's how you finish through
It's never what you did last time
It's bout yo present duke
It's never bout the things you say
It's what yo actions do
If it ain't original it ain't memorable
It's never how you start yo story
It's how you finish through
It's never what you did last time
It's bout yo present duke
It's never bout the things you say
It's what yo actions do

I done been counted out
Laughed at
Look at as dead
I done been broke
I done been hurt
Nobody cared
I done lost family
I done lost homies
But I'm still here
Cus that's life really control what you can
Fuck what you can't
It's Serenity
In knowing when I wake up
I got fresh start
Every morning I crack my eyes
I gotta thank god
Young Black in America supposed to be dead or behind bars
Against odds I'm still confident bearing all these life scars
Beloved
Some people hate being overlooked
See me
I love it
I covet
Got some Napoleon in me
Cus I ain't running
Been working OT
Since Genesis
I never cut it
On this paper route
Building empires
No time for clubbing
We Independently funded
9-5 for this budget
Forever Ruthless in my chase of all them TJ Duckets
Cus Real eyes
Realize
What I stand on
I does it
And whatever you niggas consider average
Trust
We way above it

If it ain't original it ain't memorable
It's never how you start yo story
It's how you finish through
It's never what you did last time
It's bout yo present duke
It's never bout the things you say
It's what yo actions do
If it ain't original it ain't memorable
It's never how you start yo story
It's how you finish through
It's never what you did last time
It's bout yo present duke
It's never bout the things you say
It's what yo actions do

Remind myself every day
It's Marathon
And not race
It's all about yo breathing fool
You the one controlling yo pace
So how bad you want it really
A decision you gotta make
See me I want it now
Not the fame
Just really to be great
Excessive
In chasing blessings
This plan gotta take shape
To sacrifice
And dedicate
To alleviate
And elevate
Cus you sick and tired of seeing your family with tears down they face
So you take the stance of making sure everybody straight
But at the same time
You there for them
Who really there for you
Especially when you think you the one posed to carry them through
Cus then folks who got yo back
I promise nigga
Them numbers far and few
Sometimes you gotta look out for yo self
Don't get it confused
Cus they always see the joy
They never see the pain
Them niggas round for the glow
But can't stand the rain
So Recognize
To stay sane
Sometimes you stay away
Soon enough
They'll get it
And if they don't
Its always fuck them mane
