Videoclip John Cena What Now

 
[20 second instrumental to open] 
 
[Chorus: female singer] 
I... will get by 
Touch the sky, time to fly, 'til we die 
 
[Tha Trademarc] 
For what it's worth I see the purpose of life 
I see below the surface and the version that you know and hold is not right 
Hahaha, man I oughta just laugh 
The only darkness ahead of me's the shadow I cast in my path 
(What's that?) That's the weight of my craft 
I breathe easy, and let my chest slowly contract 
And write rhymes to inform baby not to uplift 
If you wanna make it all, you gotta persist (yo put me on) 
Yeah, all that talk's a waste 
Cause I can read a man's thoughts by the way the lines cross his face 
Hold five, everything live 
And I vibe, ain't nobody thought this day would arrive 
But I balance my talents with a hope and a drive 
And ride beats dog, that's where my focus derive 
And keep notepads and vocab, that's my guide 
And if I got legit beef, I don't let it slide - what now 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[John Cena] 
My brain is impossible to thinkin philosophical 
Hustle in my blood, that's the only thing that's logical 
The only thing I gotta do to stay on or stay strong 
I ain't stoppin 'til I own the field that y'all play on 
Desperado - eyes like a bird of prey 
Cold soldier - crack snap your vertebrae 
No heater - flow sweeter than Cohiba 
Cinnamon dip, spice ride in the cinnamon whip 
Quite wide on the benjamin clip 
Might slide but we ain't gonna slip - no way 
If the meek shall inherit the earth, guess what? 
Y'all get the globe if they measure in, lyrical worth 
Trademarc flow first, make the mental work 
Fuck a verse - I rearrange your dental work 
And when it pop off, we not soft 
We like the Bentleys; y'all just the Chrysler knockoffs 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Tha Trademarc] 
But that's life, yeah you hearin me right 
It's like I had to find the black of night 
come back to life with master insight that shine bright - I'm always learnin 
My burden, to blow up gifts like this, I must endure the slow burnin 
It's sort of strange, my philosophy's changed 
I take chances, jump before the water's in range 
And never wait for safe answers so if all that remains 
is lookin back at my life it never seems like I wasted glances 
Man it's all a big game, that's why it doesn't mean a thing 
That I get money and fame, it's all the same 
if you call me Trademarc or if you know my real name 
Marc Predka ain't attached to ego 
He's a hero for the average people, a blessing 
Who transcends the essence of a poet with a street flow 
It's not lip service I don't speak to hear myself talk 
And I don't wanna be a teacher; I'm grateful for all I've been taught 
 
[Chorus]
