Avelino, Dave - Cassius Clay lyrics

Made this happen, I was the cause
Hand me the baton, hand me the torch
Running the game like it's a sport
But all I got in this world is
My word and my balls yeah, said Scarface
Yeah GoodFellas learn the hard way
Never had a godfather or my padre
So I went and got some Margielas for my madre
'Cause it's been graveyard shifts since I
Put dad in his grave
Made it out of the maze, I'm in amazement
No haram, I go ham when I pray
'Cause there's no real helping
Hand when handlin' pain
If God made man in his image, I'ma create
I'ma be great, mi casa, su casa, Cassius Clay
Rumble in the jungle
I'm from the land of the brave
Souls in the sea, I rolled the deep
Now with the wave
Yo, Dave man I still remember conversations
About awards and their invalid validations
I got the world in my hands
That's world domination man are not pop
We're just popping to the population
I got dreams and ambitions
People that listen
Love the fans 'cause all I had
Was fiends and a kitchen
I'm in Dior, guess I'm preachin' in Christian
My pockets deep but my jeans full of riches
Descendants of a king
I got people who depend on me
The dependents of a king
My teacher mentioned credit
Never said it was a thing
Why you think the mortgage lender
Isn't lending her a thing
From a real estate to real estate
Made sure I ate with my
Niggas before the dinner dates
I had so much on my plate
Now I'm eating like a king
Had to work like a slave
Imagine if we never imagined this?
Imagine if our imaginations
Couldn't fathom it?
Imagine if the butterfly effect was
A caterpillar in the Garden
Of Eden by the tree where the apple is?
I'm way too talented to still be
In the sticks where there's javelins
I'm Olympic, on Mount Olympus' peak
At the top it's only us, I'm with my G's
But I ain't gotta be high
There's higher powers than me, it's AV
I fell asleep and spoke to MJ
And he told me to heal the world
Make it a better place
Nuff red jackets in my ends
It's the end days
Why you think I'm rollin' with
Trendsetters that set pace?
Grew up in a race with racist
A place where they wanna replace us
I'm patient but then I'm impatient
God's grace has been ever so gracious
Something to say but I'm the savior
'cause I'm in the Matrix
An alien 'cause I'm in a spaceship
I saw my niggas on slave ships
I remember tellin' Whitney, "You're my queen"
I was selling Bobby, New Edition on my street
Feds were taking pictures
Taking pictures of my team
But I saw the bigger picture
The depiction of my dreams
It was nightmares where we lost Mo and Leng
Had the nigga feelin' outta place
At his home address i'm the first nigga with
Insomnia who overslept i paid 70 in taxes
It don't match what I owe to them
Man, it's crazy

Lately I see a lot of man tryna play me
I ain't an escort but it's fuck you, pay me
Déjà vu every time that I get a break, G
I used to visualize my reality in a daydream
Dream to be happy
Are you happy with a dream team?
Full of happy niggas
Are you happy with your team?
How many men are talented and
Ended up on the street? He didn't act on it
Now he looks unhappy with the scene
Seen, I mean Happy Halloween
Me and the team branched
Out from selling leaves
If my life was a film, the title
On it's release would have to be
"Just Read This One Incredible Scene"
I ain't had a break since the
Peddle bike in my teens
So I wouldn't lose sleep if you
Couldn't sell me a dream
I'm tighter than these guys
It's all lies that they're feeding
The seeds of deceit grew the
Tree in the treason
And no reason for the way that you living
Make a decision i hate mediocrity
Last dream I had I saw Socrates
He told me he believes in my philosophy
I just do numbers
I ain't waitin' on the lottery (nah)
I'm the best on the scene
The only thing that follows
When your mentioning me
Man invest in a girl when
Interested but she ain't
Invested if she don't say
Invest in your dreams
You invest for your queen
I invest for the queen
There's a big fucking difference
When I was 18 I was
Six-figure nigga trigger happy, i'ma killer
For dinners we ate livers and corn beef
I work in silence, my touch Midas, yes
Colourism real but don't let 'em divide us
We're all blacks tryna run our
Own race in our
Own way feeling pressure from our own race
Strugglin' to relate
In a black man's eyes, see pride, see pain
See joy, see days of hardship
You wanna be black but you
Don't know what dark is
You want our blood but you
Don't know what heart is
How could he draw me out if
He don't know what art is, i'm Picasso
Diss me and man know, it's kidnap
Nothing but red paint when the van goes
I don't make pop art
Also and these kicks that I wore hold up
I had a tough upbringing and hard days
I saw those weight on my chest
Only right I got a tour so
Be happy for me, I'm happy to see
I happen to be the only one
That made it happen for me
As a child I saw loss and
Now I'm a man in defeat
Outstanding, I stand for something when
I stand on the beat
