Tug of War

Story Behind The Song

1neofmani refuses to boast about being this big-time drug dealer who made it in music then finally changed his life. This is not an easy decision especially when the fruits are enjoyed by less labor where you're employed (the streets). As a man, a father, business builder, and a local resource 1neofmani has a lot to lose and more to prove. Nowhere in room for improvements allow him to jeopardize his potential to become the 1st local artist to sustain their lifestyle from their musical contributions outside of hollywood.

Lyrics

Intro:
Time is the distance between numbers. Aint no past. Aint no future. It's all right now.

Aye, c'mon
What We Doing!

Rapping or trapping
It's tug a war
Fvck it I'm rapping
But I can't ignore
Phone ring
I ain't employed
Selling my soul
And Don't even know it
When i go and get it
I'm leaving the lord
Believe in God
But I made a choice
Head up chest out
Stance
Ten toes down
On land
This is reality watch it unfold
trial and error no hand to hold
I been anonymous
making it known
credit the team we did it alone
tried every way and we still Ain't get on
you coming or going
together we strong
gave you the way butchu took
too long
just let it play
no hook just song

This is the way Whatchu waiting on
I'm in the game you waiting on
take the time don't time take it
to defeat the odds
We gotta grind baby
bunch of let downs
and some ion maybe
loses a part of a martyr
but we structure the chaos with order
if it's up it's Stuck regardless
we ion run off on plugs
we run it up
and to keep it
1 ain't enough
long as it doubles
you looking at numbers
do as you will
I made a promise
to my lil girls, to take care they momma
house clean, all the dirt I done done it
nobody safe from the raft of women
fast money making bad decisions
on the way up I done pass some niggas
Celebrate different keep adding digits
back and I'm bigger you mad we did it
the goal is to grow
water and mow
balance the challenge of carrying loads
heavy the head assign some roles
nobody nothing as big as the GOAL
Free game
I'm giving you growth

Chorus:
Rapping or trapping
It's tug a war
Fvck it I'm rapping
But I can't ignore
Phone ring
I ain't employed
Selling my soul
And Don't even know it
When i go and get it
I'm leaving the lord
Believe in God
But I made a choice
Head up chest out
Stance
Ten toes down
On land
This is reality watch it unfold
trial and error no hand to hold
I been anonymous
making it known
credit the team we did it alone
tried every way and we still Ain't get on
you coming or going
together we strong
gave you the way butchu took
too long
just let it play
no hook just song

2nd Verse:
local New Global is prophecy
this one indefinite gotta be
God In Me Guiding me honestly
Devil be working but not with me
I be working with words
and riding beats
on the 1st and the 3rd
Im robbing Pete
I Gotta pay Paul to fall asleep
they gon talk up a wall
it's all cheap
ruin yo worries
we... already buried
dead to this world I'm just in no hurry
to my little girls I know it's unsettling
daddy you're scaring me
nothing is guarantee
rather you ready
Survival's a rarity
Fvck what you heard
it was written
all I got is word
imma given
this sh*t hit a nerve
but that's the intention
I know that I'm gifted
I'm different different
but imma need more than your ears listening
we The Way Not the wave
slim picking
we ain't tryna get saved
we meal ticking
we gone eat anyway
we real fishers
shark in water we still swimming
Cuh survivals a art in the field ni**a
got a heart and I'm dark as a field ni**a
here I come barking up hills ni**a
death to designer no Hilfiger
they gone play me and pay me fr ni**a
Cuh the bigger I get I reveal wicked
tear it all down and rebuild witcha
sign ya name make it real ni**a
and reaching goals just feels richer
then we count the money & pay bills with it.

Chorus:
Rapping or trapping
It's tug a war
Fvck it I'm rapping
But I can't ignore
Phone ring
I ain't employed
Selling my soul
And Don't even know it
When i go and get it
I'm leaving the lord
Believe in God
But I made a choice
Head up chest out
Stance
Ten toes down
On land
This is reality watch it unfold
trial and error no hand to hold
I been anonymous
making it known
credit the team we did it alone
tried every way and we still Ain't get on
you coming or going
together we strong
gave you the way butchu took
too long
just let it play
no hook just song
