|
| [00:12.23] |
|
| [00:17.82] |
…… |
| [00:36.11] |
Stuck in the same room in the same mood |
| [00:38.41] |
Everybody tried to tell me what I can't do |
| [00:40.46] |
Everybody tried to tell me that I changed too |
| [00:42.59] |
And I changed lanes from you lame dudes |
| [00:44.34] |
It's been a minute since I spilled my pain |
| [00:46.15] |
Had to take a step back and look at life in a different way |
| [00:48.38] |
If you want the change, you gotta be the change |
| [00:51.20] |
Now we're all the same |
| [00:53.20] |
Nobody wanna take the reins, nobody wanna push their brain |
| [00:55.92] |
Nobody will admit that they're fake for the facts they claim |
| [00:58.34] |
You see we're all imperfect in a perfect way |
| [01:00.36] |
And while we work all day, we're all work no play |
| [01:02.21] |
We're slaved to the loans and the bills we pay |
| [01:04.31] |
You consume a double cheese when the radio play |
| [01:06.41] |
Mainstream, Mickey D's and my shit gourmet |
| [01:08.33] |
I've been up for seven days straight |
| [01:10.73] |
Trying to figure out my fate |
| [01:12.30] |
Trying to figure out any way to put food on my plate |
| [01:14.37] |
But I sold a few tee's so I'm eating today |
| [01:16.55] |
Okay, I'm doing okay, could probably do better |
| [01:19.10] |
Came home to a letter, eviction |
| [01:20.55] |
I know I don't fit your description of a rapper |
| [01:22.53] |
But me I'm a clearer, they threw all the cheddar |
| [01:24.82] |
I know everything that glitter ain't gold |
| [01:26.73] |
Life is the clay, you too busy to mold |
| [01:28.86] |
Time here is taking it's toll |
| [01:30.29] |
We spend all our time without passion and then we get old |
| [01:32.54] |
Was told, I should go quit |
| [01:34.22] |
But none of you see all the letters I get from these kids |
| [01:36.31] |
Who hurt from within and don't wanna live |
| [01:38.46] |
And tell me my music is all that can give them hope |
| [01:42.29] |
Yeah, all we need it some hope |
| [01:44.51] |
And they tell me their family's broken and broke |
| [01:46.54] |
They using my music to cope |
| [01:48.10] |
I've been on that boat, held down by a rope |
| [01:50.50] |
Held down by a string, y'all looking for things |
| [01:52.14] |
I'm looking to change the perception of people and all of the beautiful things that it brings |
| [01:56.16] |
Yeah, record in my closet, don't make enough profit |
| [01:58.43] |
Y'all used to have morals and somehow you lost it |
| [02:00.50] |
Don't care about the money I spend on my coffin |
| [02:02.44] |
I care bout the people attending |
| [02:04.43] |
And often we're lost, lost in this world |
| [02:06.36] |
We're selfish to think, I could find happiness in a girl |
| [02:08.50] |
We're selfish to think we're elite, we destroy and deplete |
| [02:10.93] |
Our whole planet no smarter than squirrels |
| [02:12.67] |
So who wants to talk about that? Who wants to talk about facts |
| [02:15.61] |
Maybe I'd be in your mag if I added tunechi or bap-bap |
| [02:18.39] |
Or I talked about weed when I rap |
| [02:20.17] |
But **** all of that, the voice of the youth |
| [02:22.19] |
The voice of the people, the real and the truth |
| [02:24.20] |
The voice of the one who had nothing to lose |
| [02:26.80] |
I speak for a heart that's been broken and beaten and bruised |
| [02:28.53] |
I'm tired of holes in my shoes |
| [02:30.17] |
Tired of having to move, tired of coming unglued |
| [02:32.63] |
Tired of cleaning your table and serving you food |
| [02:35.70] |
We are what we choose, if only you knew the shit that I've seen |
| [02:38.74] |
I can't tell if I'm lucid or living the dream |
| [02:40.55] |
I don't do it for me, do it all for the team |
| [02:42.50] |
I remember back living when I was a teen |
| [02:44.60] |
And my grandma she said I was worthless |
| [02:46.41] |
And my teachers said I had no purpose |
| [02:48.45] |
And my mama she said I was perfect |
| [02:50.22] |
I'm sitting on Twitter while I should be working on verses |
| [02:52.15] |
You're worth it, and when you feel weak |
| [02:54.23] |
The deeper the trench, the higher the peak |
| [02:56.18] |
See y'all are a piece of my legacy |
| [02:57.42] |
Cause you believe we can be anything and I wanna be... me |
