New Beginnings - Dame D.O.L.L.A., Prentice Powell

I’m really who I say I am

You feel me?

Step stepper

On the real

Yeah, new beginnings

Drop to my knees and do my repenting

I know they don’t love what I’m representing, I’ma lose some

God been givin' favor and attention, I done grew some

They not deliverin' my flowers, no appreciation

Dimmin' down my prowess, don’t abbreviate it

We’re in sync if you my mans

Done released so many friends, damn

Tightened up my circle, had some bogus members

Watch them over loyal people, they for sure pretenders

Mad at me 'cause my healin' showed I was copin' with you

Actin' like I ain’t the realest, that’s for sure dementia

Almost had me convinced that somethin' was off with me

When niggas start communicating awkwardly

Must’ve forgot it’s few who as sharp as me

I walk it out, 'cause you know they say «Talk is cheap»

Don’t let no clowns inside my funeral, y’all know the ones

Givin' passes over but we overcome

Drunk off my success is crazy, we’re the sober ones

Weight of the world on my shoulders, still givin' shoulder shrugs

This nigga different for real, not for appeal

Half a billion worth of deals, from the field

Since I had my children, I never run from my feels

Happy as I ever been, see that shit in my stills

Always passin' judgement, and me I never ducked it

I just hope that they see I’m not the one who should be fucked with

Real made man, I keep every surface dusted

Let 'em tell their tales, never fails when they tuck it

That’s fuck shit

We’re taking the time to make sure we stay in line

Not worrying about where the time’s spent

When you’re redefining your life’s lessons while mastering how to write down

your own fine print

When the old endings no longer get in the way of your new beginnings

And you lay low and look up to pray through the invisible halo in order to

avoid sinning

Because you know you can’t do shit new if you’re always bringing your baggage

with you

And you’re left to sit and sift through all the things that have no business

being with you

And you want to let it go in the worst way, but let’s be real, that hurt stays

longer than we want it to

But what’s the point of being scared to let it go if holding onto it haunts you?

It’s time for new beginnings
