I'm just making music from my heart
Not music for the charts, no
No, I won't get caught up in all of the things dem woulda start
To stray I from I path
Wont fall victim to dem conduct

Said no I will not pick a fight with my brothers just to get to the top
When I write, it's truth and rights incite in every drop

See, for all our times will come and go
When there'll be no more lights, and there'll be no more shows
And no more interviews, and no more people saying they loving you
I'm telling you, and then we'll know
[Chorus]
No, no
Yeah, yeah
No, hey, hey
Music from my heart
Music from my heart
No, no, no, no, hey
So I give thanks for the ones that before us, you know?
And for the ones that forward, you know
Treat the music with respect
