Yeah. Looking out at the water tonight. You see, some people hold onto connections just because they are terrified of losing an entrance. But me? Once the foundation stops leading to mutual respect, the connection is gone. I will take the deep water before I ever tolerate the disrespect. Let's talk about it.
I watched them misinterpret my quiet days for a sign of weakness (yeah)
They thought the patience I showed meant I was living in fear
But there is a history here that does not grant a lifetime pass
To walk all over the ground I built with my own two hands (real talk)
I stood on the edge and watched the structure start to crack and bend
Two sides of a story but only one side was keeping it true
I will set fire to the wood and watch it burn while I am standing on it
Just to remind them that the deep water never scared my soul
I know how to float and I surely know how to swim to safety (so Majestic)
No hesitation when it is time to cut the ties that bind us close
They want the benefits without ever matching the energy given
But the ledger is balanced now and I am crossing out the names
No room for the weight of people pulling down my progression
I keep my circle small and my intentions completely clear
Sixteen ways to look at a situation and this is the final one
You do not get to disrespect the hand that helped you cross over
Don't mistake the silence for a lack of power inside
Don't mistake the patience for a heart filled with fear
When the connection stops leading to the respect we earned
I will take the open water before I ever take the disrespect (yeah)
They talk loud to cover up the insecurity they carry deep (boss)
But I move in silence because the moves speak for themselves
I remember when we used to share the vision on the regular
Now they look at the success and try to claim a piece of it
But you were not there when the nights were long and cold
You were not there when the budget was down to zero dollars
Now you want to walk across the path I paved with sweat
And act like you dynamic was the reason that I made it through (real talk)
I am the architect of my own path and I state that clearly
No handouts given and no favors requested from the crowd
We three steps ahead while they are still trying to figure it out
I keep the focus on the elevation and the collective growth
But if you bring the negativity around the workspace
I will personally dismantle the walkway we used to share
No second chances when the loyalty is broken at the root
Just a clean break and a lesson learned for the future days (so Majestic)
Don't mistake the silence for a lack of power inside
Don't mistake the patience for a heart filled with fear
When the connection stops leading to the respect we earned
I will take the open water before I ever take the disrespect (yeah)
It is a shift in perspective when you realize your own worth
You stop accepting the bare minimum from the people around you
You learn to appreciate the depth of the water you swim in
And you leave the burning structures completely behind you (boss)
Looking back at the path, I see the lessons clearly now
Every disappointment was just a redirection to the true wealth
I do not hold malice in my heart, just a strict boundary line
You either respect the space or you do not get to occupy it
They wanted the access but forgot to maintain the integrity
So the door is locked and the key is thrown into the deep
I am focusing on the generational building with my own people
Creating a legacy that cannot be shaken by the outside noise (yeah)
Four quarters in a dollar and I rather have the pure value
Than a hundred pennies of loose change making noise in my pocket
We moving forward with the soulful intent and the positive energy
Grounded in the truth of who we are from the very beginning
No need to explain the breakdown to people who do not understand
The results will show the validity of the choice I made tonight
I am at peace with the fire and I am at peace with the swim
The building is solid and the vision is clearer than it has ever been (so Majestic)
Don't mistake the silence for a lack of power inside
Don't mistake the patience for a heart filled with fear
When the connection stops leading to the respect we earned
I will take the open water before I ever take the disrespect (yeah)
Yeah. Real talk. Never mistake the silence for weakness, man. It is just focus. And to anyone out there thinking history gives you a permanent pass to disrespect the present? Check the temperature. I don't mind the swim. So Majestic. Peace.
