Intro (Nelson Mandela Speech)
Tonight, we can stand before you free
Let us remind ourselves that our work is far from complete
Where human beings are being oppressed
There is more work to be done.
Verse 1 (Navy Seal)
From the days of King Pinn, Martin Luther the King
And Nelson Mandela, homie the struggle ain’t never end
We tryna bring it in, Lord forgive my sins
But we living in a world where losers are always win.
Friends turn to be foes, and foes turn to be friends
Especially when you get it, and money start coming in
Friendships turning soar, relations getting thin
If your man about the money, then homie just bring him in
Nobody gave me a chance, homie I made the best of it
Took opportunity in my hands, and I strangle it
I do it homie, long as me and my team benefit
And if it’s right or wrong, then Imma just let Karma handle
it
They catching feelings, the flow is asthmatic
It started as a joke, and now it’s like a habit
Always been a G, my life is just a practice
We always stay true in this business, we diplomatic.
Chorus (Navy Seal)
Look into my eyes, tell me what you recognize
If the feeling that you get, gone make you all realize
That we been through the struggle, homie we all survive
Man we always stay true, raise my hand to testify
We diplomatic (Karma – “What you say?”)
We diplomatic (Karma – “It’s Young Marley baby”)
We diplomatic (Karma – “Yeah Yeah”)
We diplomatic(Karma – “Double M”)
And the flow is just a habit.
Verse 2 (Karma)
They see me on the come up, coming at me like “what up?”
My name is what they utter, and these bummies won’t shut up
But I’m only after the butter, get my family out the gutta
Priority, I’m karma sharp like a glass cutter
History repeats itself, and all that hating (is) just a
sequel
I see through the
evil, they still treat you like an equal
Got an underground hustle, I use brain not muscle
Handshakes confirm transactions that make my value double
Mama said be humble, be polite and they’ll love you
When your girl start tripping, never show it that it bugs
you
Don’t rely on anybody, even when they say they got you
It’s not true, must never take hand-outs, that’s not you
I’m building my alliance, the game is now a science
They be predicting my end, see them dudes is like the Mayans
I think before I talk, but I ran before I walk
Politicking with my team, diplomatic like a boss what!
Chorus (Navy Seal)
Look into my eyes, tell me what you recognize
If the feeling that you get, gone make you all realize
That we been through the struggle, homie we all survive
Man we always stay true, raise my hand to testify
We diplomatic (Trae Yung – “Yeah”)
We diplomatic (Trae Yung – “It’s your girl Trae Yung”)
We diplomatic (Trae Yung – “We diplomatic”)
We diplomatic(Trae Yung – “Give me the mic. I’m going
in”)
And the flow is just a habit.
Verse 3 (Trae Yung)
Ok the struggle is real, but I’m bigger than that though
I keep a straight face, what I’m thinking bout you’ll never
know
It’s Trae Yung, the topic and the title
R.I.P to my rivals, I put that on my bible
It’s so sad when people start hating you
They ain’t even got a clue bout anything that you been
through
You lace a deal, they get upset
Never mind them, keep it fresh to death
We all about the hustle, the grind, the shine
If it ain’t about the paper – waste of time
I’m getting mine, go get yours
Hurry hurry though, fore I lock these doors
We in the game, and we be running it
Used to be a dream, but now we becoming it
Keep it diplomatic, rap to thrill
Karma, Trae Yung, Navy Seal that deal
Chorus (Navy Seal)
Look into my eyes, tell me what you recognize
If the feeling that you get, gone make you all realize
That we been through the struggle, homie we all survive
Man we always stay true, raise my hand to testify
We diplomatic
We diplomatic
We diplomatic
We diplomatic
And the flow is just a habit.
Outro (Nelson Mandela Speech)
It is time for new hands, to lift the burden
It is in your hands now, I thank you
(Crowd Applauds)
And the flow is just a habit
