PERSISTENCE RUNS IN THE FAMILY by POETIK Lyrics
[Poetik]
Being sent around different families after Moms passed and Dad left. Everything's different. Seven years is the longest time I've spent anywhere. But I've been back and forth my whole life.
I believe in what I'm doing. I believe there is a reason for it. So I get out there, and I really push with my people. Family is everything!
One thing I took from my fathеr's experiencе was persistence. If one door, you know, closes, you find another one. Make it happen. Don't make it useless.
You know, family always comes to you. It inspires you. And my philosophy in my life is, inspire ones who inspire all.
Where I come from, you can't play the fence. And here I am, coming over to hammer down, ripping down the fence. Know what I'm saying? Forget that shit, you know? Stop dividing people.
'Cause when you meet new people and you get to new environments, you start to understand the world a lot more.
Independence is freedom. And that's what every artist wants.
I love my family more than hip-hop, you know? I gotta do it 'cause it's family, bro. I got people relying on me. I got people looking up to me, counting on me. I can't fail, bro. I gotta keep it moving. I gotta get up and get to work. I work harder than anybody.
And if I don't—I don't even know what "if I don't" means, bro. Everyone's in the family. Facts.
