lyrics

One more take
All the way through
'Cause I'm just feeling it right now
I'm not really religious
But I like the idea you know
There's a place for me up in heaven


In my palace I can't find malice
Trying to find a beef to squash is my challenge
Keeping all the dogs at bay is my talent
I can't even find no sins in my shower
I play God with fates, I chisel the slate
It's my world you with me or you ain't
In my world you don't get a second chance
I make all my plans to taste, like you should
What's the good if you can't swallow what you made
If the recipe is tainted from the gate
You could bake it at the temperature it says
But it'll never finish like the picture in the end
You'll never fix it with a little bit of bread
You already told your guests what you expect
When you invite the devil and decide to let him in
I don't know who else you thought you gonna get

I build it up
I see a vision
I hear a voice
But I don't listen
I know better
I know better
I'm the architect of my Heaven

If I love you then you got a ring
I know the number of the people that I need
So if I gotta search for your number in my contacts
It's a guaranteed thing I won't call back
I keep my circle small, my currency is dimes
You a ten if I been fucking with you all this time
I don't believe in splitting up my energy
Laying in my grave I want to know how they remember me
Close your eyes for me, for a minute
Think about somebody you lost for a minute
People don't recall every moment that they had
It's the feeling that you give them that's gon' last

And that's gon' be my legacy
You gon' be warm
In the winter when you remember me
Up in your crib with some Hennessy
Pouring one out for Jess so he can rest in peace

No time to make no enemies
No heart to be hating on some jealously
And I ain't got the mind to invest in anything
If I can't see it as an investment
Maybe that's selfish I live with it
Rather have the guilt than shelves of wolf tickets
To much shine to fake what I'm getting
To much pride to fake what I'm spitting
That's a code to live by, that's how I get by
I just keep it real and know I'm one of the good guys
You could never paint me as a villain, when the truth rise
I won't be the one in the rope when the noose ties

I build it up
I see a vision
I hear a voice
But I don't listen
I know better
I know better
I'm the architect of my Heaven
I build it up
I see a vision
I hear a voice
But I don't listen
Yeah I know better
I'm the architect of my Heaven

And I split it six ways
Y'all deserve it all working through your sick days
Y'all been stuck in this maze
I been making calls trying to get y'all saved
Breaking walls, let you see the light of day
And I hearing nothing 'bout no messy red tape
Lord, I might flex but I 'sho won't cave
Won't settle for a check it is not the same thing
You can't buy me or find me shiny diamonds and glitter
Trying to undermine me
I know my worth is in my cause
I know I'm worthless when I'm lost
I drew a map and read the stars
Keep cryptograms inside my bars
So if I lose my way
Just know I'll be back before long
