Lyrics

I am not a finished product
Only judge when I'm done
Young and black and from the projects
Got a lot to overcome
I got my head in clouds
I got my feet on land
My homies fell too deep
This is the quickest sand
I know that, I am not a finished product
Got a lot to overcome
I been changing, changing, changing, changing
I been changing, changing, changing, changing
Who knew a star could fall from oh-so-high
And land on earth
Outgrow the sky
Expand my worth
I'll help you fly but fam is first
I am not a finished product
Got a lot to overcome
I am not a finished product
Only judge when I'm done
Young and black and from the projects
Got a lot to overcome
I got so many flaws
I try to hide but it all comes out
Rely on luck 'till it all runs out
So many gods, I should call one out
Right now (right now, right now)
I was naive when it all went down
When pops went ghost you was all I had
You went up North then it all went South
Everybody I know dealing with some shit
Tensions high, rent is high, so they with the shits
You get high, tell me why then I hit the shit
Catch a vibe, write a line, then I spit the shit
Giving game, 'bout to run my own internship
I done lost count of all of my mentorships
Euro-stepping to the left of your fickle shit
Still I'm blessed, I ain't stressin', no lickle shit (whoo)
Sunday night, momma penne olive, vodka from pentecostal church
I been scared, I ain't finished sinning
I ain't been repenting, what if god comes first
I been feeling like the end is nearing
All my **** running out of options now
Nothing's been black and white for years
I'm making deals with my conscience now
Weather getting worse, cops wylin'
Is it fair to even have a seed someday
God, family and a little money
All the things my momma said I'll need someday
Got my name from the King James
That I promised momma I'ma read someday
Hopefully, they still accept my plead
Please remember one last thing
I am not a finished product
Only judge when I'm done
Young and black and from the projects
Got a lot to overcome
