The Vision 04:09
[Verse 1] I came with a loan and a dream All alone with no team Only my self-esteem And the cold was extreme But still so determined to win As hard as it might seem Ain’t no plan to give in Here I come in the scene Know that I’m different I was born and raised to make a difference And I surely won’t die in indifference This is the necessary inference No matter your reference Here for the breakthrough Capitalize on everything I’ve been through No pain no gain this is all true Building with all the stones they threw This what I’m ‘bout to do My melanin is activated The Vibranium is radiating The Motherland, always representing And the purpose, so motivating Eye-opening Mind-blowing Jaw-dropping Show-stopping Time-bending Ego-killing Soul-rising Feel it all [Chorus] ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION [Verse 2] UniverSoul are my fruits Panafrican are my roots Transatlantic, like my ancestors But no trade, unless it’s fair Yes I’m fresh, no boat I look around, no goat I don’t follow, I’d rather lead I don’t snitch, I’d rather bleed I break the norm, I do it BIG Like Pac, me no like no pig I see the change, I see the challenge So here comes a new challenger And if life is serious game Then let us play On my grind, all the time “Nuit Blanche” I didn’t sleep I just know I gotta blow Just in case you ain’t know so Flow so original Extra terrestrial OVO XO Parkdale Cartel Prime Boys Fargo How far will I go [Chorus] ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION ‘Cause I’VE GOT THE VISION COME SEE THE VISION [Outro verse/ acapella] I’ve had this vision since I was a Kid Cudi’s not the only man on the moon In order to be here I did what I did Hustlin, hustlin midday to noon That’s why I ain’t done anytime soon This is some good shit for you to consume On some Don Miguel I don’t assume As much as I can, as much as I could ‘Cause I got sick and tired of being sick and tired I’m in this biz until I’m retired Nothing else can get me much higher See the smoke YOU CAN’T DENY THE FIRE Always expanding like the Universe On another dimension like a multiverse Never stop exploring, We The North Face Coming up from the South, on my way to the top, ‘Cause I’ve got the vision

This FAR 03:43
[Intro] Yeah You know People always be talking like: you can’t do this, you can’t do that At the end of the day They will NEVER know all the sacrifices you’ve been making... [Hook] (x2) I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR I never let anybody tell me who I ARE This is my life, Imma shine like a star Cuz I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR [Verse 1] Man it did start in the Motherland then spread it out to some other lands People be chasing the waves Nothing new under the sunny land Back to the future I was a kid Only one goal was to be happy Man I was reckless and brave Didn’t care ‘bout being VIP Mommy around that was all I needed Matter of fact was her VIP From the cradle to the grave I will accomplish my D.U.TY You don’t know what you got till it’s gone I swear to God I knew what I had Can’t never forget what she gave Memories never erased, forever saved! Man I was hanging out in these streets At home the crisis was a real sh*t Things falling apart, bottomless pit I tried to runaway from my sh*t But it kept coming back like this One day I just decided to face it Embrace it for inner peace So I can be all I must be [Hook] (x2) I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR I never let anybody tell me who I are This is my life, Imma shine like a star Cuz I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR [Verse 2] No time to waste (no time to waste) Gotta make moves (the time is now) I elevate (vibrate higher) I motivate (yeah yeah) I’m going in (gotta go hard) I figured it out (I figured it out) You might count me out (whatever!) But they count me in (yeah yeah) Whatchu know about the pressure when your fam relies on you And you do feel like the weight of the world All eyes on you You just know you gotta go and get it by any means And that’s how you end up saying to yourself such things: Gave my blood, sweat and tears Man I have no f*****g fears Fortune favors yes I’m bold In my own lane I’m Usain Bolt Finna find my pot-of-gold I will never sell my soul Best believe me I won’t stop TIL I GET ERRTHING I DESERVE!! [Solo trumpet] [Hook] I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR I never let anybody tell me who I are This is my life, Imma shine like a star Cuz I didn’t come this FAR to only come this FAR

I am an artist And I ain’t got no time to be silent No time to allow these words To asphyxiate my ancestry Amidst this violence Amidst this despair Can’t deny the world my gift Because of fear Living a life of purpose and service Cannot and will not die with my gifts still in here Inspired by my pain And how close death came Images of a tombstone Inscribed with my name Just then, I snapped back To a new era - a new lane And then my real eye realized That I could be the one to make a change Cause see I … am an artist Creator of lyrical calligraphy Take you on a journey with my soliloquies Literary imageries Full of healing May my words add meaning to your life And the thoughts you left behind With the things that I write May my words penetrate your soul Levitate your being Beyond the thoughts that you think you know See ignoring the call of our dreams can be lethal Ignoring the call of our dreams can be lethal Especially when you tell your BIG dreams To small-minded people Pumping in the depths of me is my heartistry This life-giving gift that I was given Man how can I deny the world the gift of the Creator's imprint How dare I suppress the talents etched in the flesh of my chest Am I not grateful Do I not cherish it Randell, have you not realized That this is your ticket to the exodus See when chasing our dreams we sometimes ask if it’s worth it But have we not realized that by not doing it we were causing the world a disservice A failure to fulfill our purpose I am an artist Persistently pushing pens and pencils Living in my purpose practicing my pure potential As we artists we have to get creating When the world is devastated We are the beacons of hope Healing to suicide notes And we change people’s lives with this gift So no matter how rough it gets, don’t quit! Know that you can push beyond the limits You are an image of the infinite Every choice that we make fulfill our life’s pages See the road ahead will be tough but remain patient Know that you are designing magic in the making So, when the blueprint of your story is read Will it free others from the matrix?

[Chorus] Is you down to roll? That’s all I want to know So, baby set it straight, tell me is you down to roll? [Verse 1] I just wanna make you mine I want you to make me yours This moment is ours Baby baby, less is more There is no space and time Where I’m gonna take you to Together we’ll be fine This is old and brand new We can keep it complicated We can beat around the bush Peep the vibe can’t duplicate it Let’s go high, no need no kush But if you really really want it I can find it, I can get it There’s nothing I won’t do for you Cause deep down girl you want me too You can tell it was meant to be This is faith, this is destiny Senses all in harmony Call it synchronicity Alchemy meets chemistry Supreme compatibility That’s why the only thing I wanna know now, know now is: [Chorus] Is you down to roll? That’s all I want to know So, baby set it straight, tell me is you down to roll? [Verse 2] Heat is breaking the ice How bout we roll the dice Life with you must be nice So ready to pay the price We do see eye to eye Let the planets align Our vibrations intertwine Reading sign after sign The more we know each other We like two peas in a pod The more we understand each other Sometimes we just need to nod Sanctuary, yours is sacred Found the secret key to your heart Second-guessing I ain’t trying I’m just here to play my part You can tell it was meant to be This is faith, this is destiny Senses all in harmony Call it synchronicity Alchemy meets chemistry Supreme compatibility That’s why the only thing I wanna know now, know now is: [Chorus] Is you down to roll? That’s all I want to know So, baby set it straight, tell me is you down to roll?

[Verse 1] This no ordinary flow, This is T'challa on the rap This is not what you expected Man, Wamunda on the map This is water for the thirsty, alkaline only, no tap This is good food for thought, on & on, don’t say it's a wrap This is Mansa Musa bank account and Sankara state of mind These are blessings blessings on the count of 1 2 3 6 9 This ain’t yours, this is mine Well earned with no bribe This what happens when you end up finding, vibing with your tribe This is guidance from above That deep ancestors love All in between and the inner peace thereof Trials & tribulations man you’ve been through it all But you always kept hoping, kept pushing despite it all [Hook] (x2) So let’s GO! The outsider’s victory This was meant to be Beating odds and making history [Verse 2] There were doubters all along Acting like you don’t belong Thinking that this is too cray They could barely see a way Are they real friends or foes Their agenda exposed Been Beethoven to their noise And you kept showing your poise David to Goliath You’ve been ready for the triumph FOCUS KILLS FEARS You were born to be a giant Halfway there, cause your mind can visualize You've been putting in the work, they’ll catch up and realize People who say that it cannot be done should not even try to stop those doing it Trials & tribulations man you’ve been through it all But you always kept hoping, kept pushing despite it all [Hook] (x2) So let’s GO! The outsider’s victory This was meant to be Beating odds and making history [Spoken Words - DOdelisca] You could beat Sonny Liston First you need the vision Ali from the Clay It’s take soul to find your rhythm Gotta dig in, keep digging Deep to the core The root, do you want more, the truth What’s pent in? What you send out Is what you send in This life ain’t for renting It’s ownership You own the shit Hold tight If you lose grip It’s just re-writes For the same script Long nights But no dream slips Push the pedal Enjoy the trip Long live the journey Focused on the prize The pride of the ground Hawkeye in the sky Find a new balance Like board man Kwahi Speak it into existence You will always rise Persistent and consistent Rebellious and resistant Gotta be insistent Scared money don’t make no money Gotta dig in to plant the seed Don’t hold back from living You got all that you need You got all that you need You got all that you need Let’s go! [Hook + Outro] So let’s GO! The outsider’s victory This was meant to be Beating odds and making history So let’s GO! The outsider’s victory This was meant to be Beating odds and making history So let’s GO! The outsider’s victory (we will never stop) This was meant to be (because we canNOT stop) Beating odds and making history So let’s GO! (We're gonna keep it moving) The outsider’s victory (We're gonna keep having faith) This was meant to be (Until we make it) Beating odds and making history (Because we know anything is possible) Failure is not an option We're deserving Our dreams are valid We didn't come this far to only come this far You already know We're gonna make it No matter what
