I'm trying to focus on what's real in my life
In my moments of perception, you can see it in my eyes
It's a battle that rages, that tears me from the seams
I don't remember what I've even sacrificed for these dreams
I never get to sleep cuz the game plays for keeps
I've never been one to wait or to just sit in my seat
I gotta keep that fire alive, keep my spirit here from dyin'
And what's up God? Why ain't you helpin' when I'm tryin'
I'm cursed with a gift that I can't seem to function without
But this lack of paper has me living with so much doubt
Music has been my life & I should be so fuckin high
But most of the time, I feel like I just wanna die
No ones believed in me, so how do I believe in myself?
Dat's why sometimes I want to put this shit right on a shelf
Wanna finish this race, put an end to the chase
Never look back, but in my soul all I hear is bass (wit dat)
I try to live by my hustle with the gifts I was given
Many think in this shit, its a rockstar livin'
Many of you know me and some just think you do
Many are inspired by the words and many are fools
My philosophy, I got nothing for this industry
If you want to be free, thats how it should always be
Never ever let these crooked cats take a dime
You need to get yours, like I'm out here getting mine
A legend is the finished product of the under rated
But be careful cuz in this shit, it'll leave ya jaded
Todays' next big thing is just yesterday's news
That's why I don't want to stand in no ones shoes
Fuck with these beats to manifest destiny
Individuality, fuck mediocrity
Be my own man with my own identity
With my own style, yea, that's how it should be (ya heard me?)
This is how it is with the hands I was dealt
And I know I shouldn't be so hard on my fuckin' self
But dat shits hard when all you've ever known is pain
And almost every person in your life has been about games
I may be enlightened, but that doesn't mean I'm a fool
Some sucka that knows no better or is used as a tool
Dont ever think I'm a bitch cuz I wont play your game
You just mad cuz you cant make me say your name
Life aint eazy, got get it how ya live
Gotta know when to take, yea, gotta know when to give
Don't ever let your ego take what's comin' to you
Don't expect others to always be about truth
You're the only one who will watch your back man
And you're the only one ya gotta keep on track man
So keep yo shit pumpin' pimp, keep it on the move
This is how I rock dirty, so what you wanna do? (wit dat)
