I been out here winning I been out here grinding I been out here living Y’all been out here lying I been out here praying On my knees just crying Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y’all see me shining I been out here winning I been out here grinding I been out here living Y’all been out here lying I been out here praying On my knees just crying Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y’all see me shining I'm shinning now cause I put the work in I was lost until I picked up a pen People saying that “you got this shit Ken” Do it for the ones that's locked in the pen Do it for the ones who ain’t got a voice Do it cause I really ain’t got a choice Do it cause they said we ain’t making noise From the Midwest but don't claim Illinois I'm from the city that's slept on Where they quick to pull back if you step wrong Where they don’t give support unless the check long But if you got a neck you get stepped on I'm beyond tired of letting em breathe I'm back applying some pressure again They said the top would be lonely And since I start grinding I been out here losing some friends It's even family that gave up on me Thankful for those in the village I got If you said fuck me then keep that same energy Stay over there when I get to the top One degree hotter bitch my prices going up I made "The Come Up" but now a bitch coming up You do the least if you say that I do too much School out the way so bitch ain’t no more slowing up I been out here winning I been out here grinding I been out here living Y’all been out here lying I been out here praying On my knees just crying Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y’all see me shining I been out here winning I been out here grinding I been out here living Y’all been out here lying I been out here praying On my knees just crying Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y’all see me shining That adversity I'm living through it With the ghetto politics and the music Had a couple hurdles but you never knew it Cause I'm thugging it out even with a Judas Story telling on another level it be non-fiction when I'm kicking shit  Gucci said it's all in the wrist, I ain't never tell you I was innocent You assume that, but I'm with the shit Late nights working on a different shift Ain't no graveyards in my vision unless I'm visiting the ones who ain't get to live And you wonder why I'm focused, cause I'm blessed to see today It's a disadvantage when your skin is brown cuddy you don't need a break What you need is to lead the future generation and show them they holding the ticket Pull my dawg to the side right before we ride and tell him don't go on that mission All this shit we invested in the block, ain't no question we got the ambition I'ma show you better than I tell you, lace the boots up and let's get it, let's get it   I been out here winning I been out here grinding I been out here living Y’all been out here lying I been out here praying On my knees just crying Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y’all see me shining I been out here winning I been out here grinding I been out here living Y’all been out here lying I been out here praying On my knees just crying Out here giving thanks up to God and now that why y’all see me shining

about

"Released in celebration of graduating college, this 5-track EP serves as another milestone for artist ameriKKKen, making it the follow up to her debut project in 2019. However, unlike the previous release, “KAPPED,” features guest artists – fellow Indianapolis artist Skypp, as well as Detroit native and frequent collaborator, HAV.

Yet, this release doesn’t sport early as many producers, nor the same producers found on the previous project, with Indianapolis-based producers Legendary P and TyjuanOnTheBeat being the only two who contributed. Art direction for the cover is credited to photographer Tee Rez and graphic artist Kammeron Randle." -- Rap Genius
