lyrics

I feel like a cavalier
Yeah, I been a matador,
I know we gon win awards
Can't do that shit outta fear,
I feel like a cavalier
What you doin, ain't concerned wit it
I’m building my own world
I move on my own terms

Spinning on my axis like a lotus flower
Take your shot, the sun is falling
Losing golden hour
I'm just a black man, white world
Feelin’ like Colin Powell
Which vice gon’ hold me down?
Which mood your mental state in
Lately my mind been vacant
I switched up like Michael Stratham
Got new goals, I wrote my place in

Niggas wanna glitter but ain't golden
I ain't gotta spit about a potion
Only took a minute, and then wrote it
I been on a mission, with the focus

I feel like a cavalier
Yeah, I been a matador,
I know we gon’ win awards
Can't do that shit outta fear,
I feel like a cavalier
What you doin, ain't concerned wit it
I’m building my own world
I move on my own terms
I feel like a….

I got some hunger deep inside me dwelling,
I feel like a monster really tryna feast
This feeling is latching on to every organ
It's telling me kill these rappers or decease
I been on a mission, walkin’ into meetings
Hit my objective, then I had to peace
I been on the rise, while you on the street
you been on the side, go and take a seat, nigga.

I’m making my own lane,
making moves niggas never did
I said fuck it, I do it own way
cause the truth is I don’t miss
No matter the enemy I’m gonna face ‘em
and all of your next moves in a daze
while all of my chess pieces in the place
and whether it’s black or white, we gon play, nigga
