Granite Tops

No I don't claim to know the struggle cuz I've never lived it

But life for me hasn't always been photogenic and perfect

Only I can make my own self determinated

Not a parent, a preacher, a techer, Jesus or verdict

Could overturn this will power that I got burnin'

So deep inside of me, trying unecessary like cursive

And no, my parents aren't divorced, my pops never vanished

They act like since I've always had a granite tops that I take this

Shit for granted, damnit

That isn't further from the truth

Who gives a damn if I was brought up astute

They say, "you don't have the financial problems all these real rappers do

And you ain't even busts caps in dudes"

And just because I have a passion for rappin' the world expects me to?

Now that's the stupidest thing that I've ever heard

I'm just goin' flip 'em the bird

I'm wakin' up in the early mornin' hours a powerful work

Ethic's so unheard of in this day and age

I'll make my way, regardless of the haters hatin'

Envy is a shameful trait, sometimes i feel there's no escape

From the scrutiny and judgements

And really there's not

It's gonna keep comin' as long, as long as the youngin' is buzzin'

Ah, so I just accepted it and laugh

And as much as I love the cash it's so much deeper than that

Being iconics what I'm striving for while sleeping

I snap into a new reality whitin my dreams

And then I wake up to the exact same thing,

Cuz recently my life is flipped 180 degrees

I was never the most confident of my friends

I remember down in my basement Sammy, Big Mikes and Biggs

They made me rap for 'em threatening me with shit if I didn't

Lowkey makin' fun of me as I spit you know how it is

Probably thinking to themselves, "you better stick to your day job"

But now the jokes on them 'cause that's exactly what this is

Yeah, gettin' the types of girls I used to not

Kinda goes to show as an example how I'm used a lot

But no, I'm not complaining cuz no, I don't go the moral

Compass of the Gods, honestly

Sometimes I fuck up, I'm just a human, sometimes I'm out until the sun's up

But that's just how it is when you're young buck

Livin' on my own, only 18

Don't really like the clubs much

I'd rather chill and puff one, but that's beside the fact

Hip Hop head claiming I can't mess with 'em cuz this or that

And they're viners and they have young girls for the fans

But man at least those girls love me for just who I am

I, I guess they'll never understand, it's aight
