produced by Dynamite Deluxe [instru]

lyrics

hidden like a buried treasure, under ur very noses
bypassing the preconceived notions gotta get focused
bout to get overwhelming when you know what it is
unlimited portions like an ocean overflowing
now you lookin for someone to dosey-do with

the imminent motion, just learn to receive it don't wanna get toasted
truthfully thicken my bars and make it a little more open for ya
an open foyer, u better get in there's sum'in to show ya
her name is grace, she'll give you the drive like a toyota what?

she was given to us, kindly by someone whos bigger than us
if u dont want it u finna get punted, the truth of the matter we're nothin but dust
fine, i'll slow it down. try to catch the poem's motive
grace is overloaded with everything good like homer's donuts

more than a bonus, i'm tryin to convince you the gift could miss you
but in case you ask, she's kinda like a safety net that can always catch you
don't be lazy, life it can disappear. distractions yeah they can interfere
but i promise, don't be silent, try to be solid - kinda like metal gear

i'm lovin the freedom foreal, with grace i'm never defeated
i want you to get with the party, i'm tryin to get all you to finally breathe
it's not about getting that cheese, that ice or bling that's makin you freeze
grace is a gift, not a girl that u buy pearls but way better, know what i mean?
