| Let me speak from the heart
|
| Let me breathe through the art
|
| Let me put it in perspective
|
| When I first started off
|
| Every rap they would scoff
|
| They would mock every word I projected
|
| Now they memory is getting kind of foggy
|
| See me doing shows every night, that’s a body
|
| Spend more time on the road than I do in my home
|
| House shoes in them hotel lobbies
|
| I don’t give a fuck about the dress code
|
| Policy what they call the front desk for
|
| Probably leave with a whole mixtape that I wrote in my room
|
| The boxspring from the bed soundproof was groom?
|
| In the process when I process what is fed
|
| Another black hole looming over my head
|
| One look to the past is a step that I lose
|
| To a future so bright you could taste the lead
|
| See, I know the journey is bigger than me
|
| I will not submit to this industry
|
| I write my songs from a genuine place
|
| If that makes you uncomfortable, fuck you just leave
|
| They manufacture our art with no soul
|
| Look in their faces, a desolate hole
|
| Long as I’m breathing, I keep making music
|
| I cannot create under corporate control
|
| You a slave to the playlist
|
| All you do is make songs that are tasteless
|
| For a label and a boss that is faceless, face it
|
| Nigga you a pawn you don’t say shit
|
| If they ask you to sing, you gon' say what song
|
| Looking for your bread, they gon' say move along
|
| I was once blind, now I see it so clear
|
| Now a nigga net worth moving up every year, yeah
|
| I been focused on my grind
|
| I don’t really give a fuck what they say about me
|
| I been on this up incline
|
| I bet it all on myself what that say about me
|
| If you understand me, then you understand grief
|
| Then you understand pain of the now
|
| I was in the mist of a mystery, miss me, with the mystique
|
| You a G nigga, how
|
| I get more bitches and don’t even try
|
| I’m just myself I’m a regular guy
|
| You nigga’s coddle and squabble for women
|
| Your nostrils are bending how can you deny
|
| Why would I even be eager to enter or entertain people who blatantly lie
|
| Rap is a vessel, I tell 'em god bless you
|
| If I can’t be me, then I’d rather just die
|
| I just take the vision of my mind, make it legible
|
| Ever since I started rapping, I’ve been counting decimals
|
| Let 'em keep pretending I’m extending what I’m feeling like a blanket over
|
| everything I did that’s impeccable
|
| Let 'em talk shit about a player, I’ma know
|
| Let talk down on what I do, I’ma show
|
| Up in your news feed, with a bunch of new heat
|
| Real motherfuckers can relate to the flow
|
| You a slave to your timeline
|
| All you do is talk shit from the sideline
|
| No talent so you tried to define mine
|
| No money so you try hard to find mine
|
| If they ask you to sing, you gon' say what song
|
| Looking for your break, they gon' say move along
|
| I was once deaf, now I hear it so clear
|
| Now a nigga net worth moving up every year, yeah |
