[INTRO] Yeah… I’m just sittin’ on the porch, hear my young gods run Y’all said “already won,” I smiled like “yeah, that’s one” Y’all the ones in the ring, I done been through the wars Now I’m noddin’ from the corner while you cook up yours [HOOK] Kick it like Daniel Son, shine how you s’posed to shine I just waxed on, waxed off, now the dojo yours, not mine If you hear a lil’ Miyagi in the calm behind the drum That’s just Oyi in the back sayin’, “Nephew, you one” [VERSE 1] I hear “mental karate,” I remember that too Diggin’ dirt off my spirit just to see what grew You was searchin’ for gold, I was searchin’ for breath Now I’m watchin’ y’all evolve, that’s a beautiful flex Y’all flip pain into rhythm, turn the dust into script I just recognize the pattern, see the Spirit equipped I ain’t here to outshine, I’m just here to confirm That the style you was born with got a right to burn [HOOK] Kick it like Daniel Son, shine how you s’posed to shine I just waxed on, waxed off, now the dojo yours, not mine If you hear a lil’ Miyagi in the calm behind the drum That’s just Oyi in the back sayin’, “Nephew, you one” [VERSE 2] I heard you talk loops, life spinnin’ like drums I remember writin’ plans where the sunlight ain’t come Now I write it in black and white, feel the numbers align Turn the “how do I survive” to “how my people gon’ shine” Y’all talk “already won,” that’s the code I respect Just remember when it’s heavy, you can pivot, not wreck I done failed, doubled back, turned the loss into grain So you ain’t gotta bleed out in that exact same lane [VERSE 3] When you chant about the Source, I just bow from the side ‘Cause I know what it cost just to sit in that vibe I was walkin’ through the valley, had to learn how to trust Now I watch you hit that frequency without all the dust If you ever feel stuck, like the sky too dark Just remember who first told you there was God in your heart I ain’t claimin’ your glory, that’s between you and Sun I’m just happy that the seeds that we planted came up run [HOOK] Kick it like Daniel Son, shine how you s’posed to shine I just waxed on, waxed off, now the dojo yours, not mine If you hear a lil’ Miyagi in the calm behind the drum That’s just Oyi in the back sayin’, “Nephew, you one” [OUTRO] So keep spazzin’ on these beats, keep talkin’ to the Light I’m the old head in the corner sayin’, “Yeah, that’s right” If they ask who tuned the stance when your legend get spun Just grin, nod slow, say, “That’s my Uncle Oyi Sun.”
