Yeah
Na na
‘Kechi, Tha Don
Chai!
Just gotta keep going, y’know
Gotta, gotta find it (one-two)
Gotta
Yeah
I been doing a lot of soul searching
Never sold
Merchant, eyeing me
Like a nigga on the street who be cat calling
I been stalling for a minute or two
But now I’m long overdue
So now it’s time to pursue
I’m only short on a few
Decibels of confidence
Or self fondness
Used to bond ‘Kechi to Tha Don
That goes beyond the dooey
Truly seeing me in all my glory
Best seller of my own story
Can’t afford to let the ink dry
Collecting dust
Don’t know the way, but I must find it
Must grind it out, Parmesan
That bar was full of cheese
Ladies like the way I cheese
But nowadays all I think about is earning cheese
I’m really hard to please
Everything has to be grandiose
Not even close makes the cut
It’s all a gut feeling
But does your gut ever need healing
It’s like
Can you feel it calling on you
Pressure falling on you to be free
Trust and believe
And keep trying
Take time as I....
Just take time
Yeah
Take time as I elevate
Stressed mind so I meditate
Let’s fly up to heavens gates
Open up, let the blessings fall
Rain down like a trip to the shopping mall
Heavy drip, take a sip
Big lipped, small talk
All walk, take a dip in the deep end
Never depend on a nigga playing defense
On the pretense that you pass the rock
Pretend that a nigga really tryna block
He ain’t for the flock
I ain’t messing with the zone
Imma shoot my shot
Set the tone, DND on my telephone
Wanna say my name, then you better know
What it is, what it’ll always be
Destiny really calling me out the gutter
Butterflies and a subtle stutter
Music be my bread and butter
Fed me, time to feed the others
Can you feel it calling on you
Pressure falling on you to be free
Trust and believe
And keep trying
Can you feel it calling on you
Pressure falling on you to be free
Trust and believe
And keep trying
And keep trying

Na na, na na, na
Yeah, ‘Kechi
Tha Don
Chai!
Walk alone sometimes but
We’ll be aight
One two
Yo
I’m just tryna live my own truth
Own proof
Never let these motherfuckers own you
Niggas lying on you
That’s just how it is, what you gon do
Tryna write me off like my loan due
Won’t do it
Life entanglements, I comb through it
Rolling old school, ‘58 Chrome Buick
Can’t with all the clone music
Who plant the seed for these wannabes
Leave from the vine
I define the anomaly
Call me divine, I don’t mind
Know that I’mma be free from the judging hand
Me and my motherland bleed
You don’t understand
I stand tall, stay on call
Balling with my mans, may all fall
But we ain’t stalling if we already down bad
Learn that lesson on my own, had a clown dad
He was afraid of his given name, passed it down to me
Wealth from the Lord, I say it’s bound to be
‘Kechi
Walking on my own
I’m in the zone
Don’t lose it
(Just watch your step, y’know
One two)
I’m just tryna take it all
And make this music
(That’s how it is)
This music
(This one’s for you, yeah
I see you)
Feeding on sheep in wolf’s clothing
You walk alone, but you feel emboldened
Came out and stole my shit, I took it back
Chew your ass out, you under attack
Don’t trust nobody who ain’t in the pack
Wack niggas lying
Save face, gonna act like they vibing with you
Face facts, nobody crying with you
We done trying, finna do it big
Do it now
Fucking with the kid, tryna cap
Finna break the lid anyhow
Walls, doors and glass ceilings
We here just to break it down
Not like these niggas who be faking sounds
Vultures preying on you, breaking sounds
Still a dirty game, never tame with Tha Don
Can never bring me shame
But if you dare, you probably scared
Tear you down back to paper dreams
You see me walking alone, ain’t always what it seems
Always me
Beaming with my own light
Deeming it to be my own fight, uh
Dooey
Walking on my own
I’m in the zone
Don’t lose it
(Just watch your step man
Keep going
Uh, one two, yeah)
I’m just tryna take it all
And make this music
(That’s all I do it for
Yeah, it's just music man)
Walking on my own
I’m in the zone
Don’t lose it
(Keep going
It's lonely out there but)
I’m just tryna take it all (Find a way)
And make this music (Always do)
Music, music (‘Kechi)
Music
(Ride it out, na)
Said make this music
Said make this music
Just make this music
It’s alright don’t lose it
Just make this music
Chai!
