How can I explain this, it's kind of crazy
it began when I started talking to God on a daily
and things I was praying for started coming true
he said forget what you don't have, look at what you do
you got your, father, your mother, your sister, your brother
you three albums deep and plus you just banged out another
yo you know how many dudes would love to be up in your shoes
like when you rocked that boat on that Caribbean cruise
when it's put in perspective, I definitely recognize my blessings
I learned so many lessons from these years of BS'n
I can't ignore it
like when they say that you can be too early for success but you never too late for it
I ain't tryna brag about no money mister
I heard rich people yell, but wealthy people whisper
I'm quiet as a muphuka when I'm not rockin' y'all
you'd probably hear a mouse pissin' on a cotton ball
Hook:
I can't explain how I'm doing this lately
heard my Grandmama say, that's cause he's using you baby
let'em use you baby, I know my flow is crazy
I can't explain how I'm doing this lately
heard my Grandmama say, that's cause he's using you baby
let'em use you baby, let'em use you baby
yo you gonna let me have this?
you really gonna let me have this?
I can't believe it man
Verse 2:
How can I explain this, it's kind of crazy
it began when I started talking to God on a daily
and people started noticing how much my music bangin'
walking miles to my shows like it's the march of the penguins
standing in them cold ass lines until they shiver
that's why I under promise then I over deliver
can't make you feel cheated, I take it so serious
time is money can't afford no inexperience
cause experience is priceless is the truth
it's a shame you pay for it with your youth
that's why I'm potent with every batch that I whip
cats say you ain't make it by thirty then you should give up
I just laugh in their face like whatever G
my flow is tighter now than yours will ever be
and plus I put these words together so cleverly
and I ain't do it all by myself, these blessings heavenly
Hook:
I can't explain how I'm doing this lately
heard my Grandmama say, that's cause he's using you baby
let'em use you baby, I know my flow is crazy
I can't explain how I'm doing this lately
heard my Grandmama say, that's cause he's using you baby
let'em use you baby, let'em use you baby
yo you gonna let me have this?
you really gonna let me have this?
I can't believe it man
Verse 3:
How can I explain this, it's kind of crazy
it began when I started talking to God on a daily
and he spoke to me like soul music that's embedded in me
heard it through my mama stomach while she was pregnant with me
years later Stress flipped this beat so rugged
people ask, how you make that banging album with no budget?
Krush Unit ain't the norm, we to the left man
like Rick Rubin in his dorm making Def Jam
a man without a dream or vision shall perish
I wrote this in Germany on my way back from Paris
I'm evolving right before your eyes, growing up constantly
flying first class I can't go back to economy
I need high speed can't go back to dial up
Hip Hopper not a flip flopper changing my style up
this always been me for those who didn't know that
I been writing rhymes it's just finally they wrote back
Hook:
I can't explain how I'm doing this lately
heard my Grandmama say, that's cause he's using you baby
let'em use you baby, I know my flow is crazy
I can't explain how I'm doing this lately
heard my Grandmama say, that's cause he's using you baby
let'em use you baby, let'em use you baby
yo you gonna let me have this?
you really gonna let me have this?
I can't believe it man
