Lyrics
What do you really believe? And what you willin’ to give? And what have you really been Rappin’ fo’? What if you never succeed? Would you adapt if you had to grow? What if the problems you journal were really something internal? I had to look at myself in the mirror, fearfully walk through a f**kin’ inferno! I had to deal with a lot of despair, I learned to walk with my head in the air I locked myself in a room with a beat, you n***as like to consume & compete You n***as type your mood with a tweet, I had to fight for my food just to eat I had to sneak & sleep on the train before there was Uber manueverin’ my feet 5 in the mornin’, was stormin’, I just been informed that I’m back in 3 hours, whoa Hop off the Metro, get back on the Metro, then sneak in the gym for a shower, whoa That was the struggles I did to get on Numerous ventures I hid on my phone Goals that were Lofty, I knew it would cost me I knew you was faulty, I been on my own Honin’ my methods & ownin’ my records & knowin’ my efforts To zone in my ethics Bussin’ my back to get on, I was reckless Through the A.M. like I never known breakfast I take offense when opinions get brought up, I come from Richmond & live in the squalor I come from spittin’ & insertin’ my colla’ Every New Year, my circle got smaller I’m makin’ moves & embracin’ the static I did it without me updatin’ my status I did it without being fake & dramatic Y’all playin’ sick like you asymptomatic Y’all say it’s luck, but I stuck to my mission I loaded my truck & sold you my vision I don’t give a f**k what you hold in contention I set a goal & have no restrictions And I don’t wanna rap, I don’t wanna snap, I don’t wanna dap you down I remember back all the faith you lacked, now you wanna take a bow You could never say that I lost my way Or ever debate the cost to play I put it all in my songs & pray People receive it & call it a day Look at it objectively Why would I put my career up in jeopardy? Why would I favor destructive behavior & cater to people that never respected me? Steadily spreadin’ the cancer, still I had to get off the hamster wheel I had to pull up a plan to put up a stand instead of me standin’ still I don’t look for validation I don’t put my faith in a phone or in an application I believe some of us are sicker than the vaccination We would rather gather falsehood than have to face it No one here alerted me I was misread & mislead for currency I was left dead & force fed, concurrently Can’t spot the truth until you learn to see See…
