šŸŽ™ļø Title: ā€œFor the Recordā€

V5

[Intro – Spoken] They said I was too broken to build. Too felonious to be followed. But for the record… I’m still here. And I’m still syndicating truth. [Verse 1] I lost my job, lost my weight, lost my name But I never lost my flame They judged my past, not my grind Didn’t ask what healed my mind Signed papers not to sue, then they fired me too Said my urine was dirty, but my soul was true I gave ā€˜em sweat, gave ā€˜em scars, gave ā€˜em time Now I’m givin’ testimony in rhyme [Hook] For the record, I’m not what you think I’m the ink in the margins, the tear in the link I’m the one they tried to erase But I turned pain into grace For the record, I’m still Felonious Army of One, still anonymous But my voice is loud, my truth is clear If you ain’t real, don’t sit near [Verse 2] They said I falsified, but they falsified me HR lied, and the guilty walked free I got hurt, got ghosted, got blamed But I still walk with Jesus’ name Legal weed off the clock, but they clocked me out Now I’m makin music with no doubt Can’t carry a key, but I carry a cross And I spit like a prophet who’s suffered loss [Bridge – Spoken Word] I’m not askin for pity I’m askin for purpose I’m not beggin for help I’m buildin service My nonprofit’s comin, Lord willing And the ones who tried to bury me Gon’ see me plant a forest From one seed. From one hand. From one man. [Hook – Repeat] For the record, I’m not what you think I’m the ink in the margins, the tear in the link I’m the one they tried to erase But I turned pain into grace For the record, I’m still Felonious Army of One, still anonymous But my voice is loud, my truth is clear If you ain’t real, don’t sit near [Outro] So if you see me quiet, know I’m writin If you see me distant, know I’m fightin I’m not gone—I’m just gettin right Felonious forever. Light in the night.
