In the 9th Chapter, our protagonist Kha-elL takes everything in stride. He develops the habits and confidence of one who knows that success is inevitable. The struggle to find order in his life is now concluding. He is more productive every day than he use to be in an entire month. Although the journey to “SELF CONTROL” is long and challenging, he is no longer running around in circles.
This is Self Suffice's 1st solo album since recording the critically acclaimed "Manhattan Night" CD with Dreamville's Mez. Also available at
All ya activities either expand or contract
might as well be proactive, instead of surprised after the fact
when you wait for a problem 'n then react,
you move 1 step forward, 1 and a half back
Use to wait for dem to find me, could you believe that?
Now I'm promotin’ when I grind, e'ybody see dat,
the more I feed yall, the more yall gimme dat feedBACK.
the old me took a back seat… USE to lean BACK...
Now I'm da leader of da pack. Use to ASK where my team at,
now I TELL'em exactly where da be at…
So save the drama / for yo mama / while I'mma
keep brushin' my own teeth, not Donald, 'n not Obama
A lotta people, watch reality tv, if you wanna,
I'm on ya TV show, in reality tho, so me, I gotta,
keep creatin, conversation, not tryna,
escape the fate dat (16)
I was placed in, Our father,
who art in heaven, You come first...
lead me away from temptation,
No time fa distraction da way I'm operatin',
see I'm tryina... overdeliver on
My promise, I made when, I say, I'ma, do it,
ain't NO celebration, for me, til I'm through wit
da job, no excuses,
beyond gettin paid fa day,
make a way for da youth to do it tomorra (24)
Go 'head get fed up about me,
maddafact go on ahead without me,
doubt I'll be a OVERNIGHT success,
everyDAY I commit to a LIFE of progress
HOOK:
e'ryday I'm dedicatin' my life to progress x4 to my life!
