Only Son Lyrics - Will-broad

[Verse 1] 

I'm in a battle with my inner self 

Man I admit that I'm in need of help 

Ain't nobody telling you just how to get rich 

Chinx was right ain't no books telling you the specifics 

And I can never be free of my own kind 

Entrapped in black skin with my own mind 

And I've been told that there's a country full of greater pastures 

But with the race of races going on its more like green disasters 

And I don't wanna fall into the trap 

Drug dealing while hanging out with a gat 

And I've never been the type of an automatic 

But if I got it then it means that I gotta be a savage 

Or they'll serve me up like radish 

But this ain't my story 

This is a story of another son 

This ain't my glory 

This is a glory of another one 

Shout out to the people on the streets 

I know it's hard like trynna do business with all these beats

[Chorus] 

Only son 

This is the pressure of an only son 

The pressure to be great cause I know that I'm the only one 

This is the pressure of an only son 

I'm the only one 

[Verse 2] 

Look 

Grandad started the tradition 

Taking the family out of poverty the mission 

Put a generation through school 

Now my father knew the rules 

If you wanna make it gotta work hard now to prove 

That it ain't enough 

I can't be working for another man 

While his stacking paper I'll be meeting his demands 

And what he gets to supply enough for you to shine 

But you can't be a star cause then you'll see that you are blind 

It's a rough cut making sure that you not refined 

Show you fake love while they stealing comfort from your behind 

And you relaxed with your seat on a full recline 

Until they cut you now you stuck at home doing time 

And that's another trap 

Oh, thought the trap was niggas doing thug raps 

Man this system was built to be trapping all the hood rats 

And if you looking to be hired you a sacrifice to the cats 

That's a fact

[Chorus] 

Only son 

This is the pressure of an only son 

The pressure to be great cause I know that I'm the only one 

This is the pressure of an only son 

I'm the only one 

[Verse 3] 

Wake up in the morning then I pray to be great 

Seeking the guidance and the wisdom to acknowledge what's my fate 

If it's then I might turn to selling a little dope 

If the music won't make me rich then I'll sell a little coke 

Lord forgive me for the sins that are to come 

To win in this game gotta be dirty like a nun 

Stealing church wine cause she thinks that this is fun 

How to stay rich when the system wanna to chew me like I'm gum 

And I'm never gonna bow to the poverty 

My first amendment is seeking a whole lot of property 

And making sure that ain't nobody is on top of me 

Your position is bottom so don't you think of blocking me 

So please don't be the first of my lobotomy 

Imma take out any being that be thinking of stopping me 

Blessed be my work that I rise a little rapidly 

Protected be my soul on this quest so I don't lose all of me
