Careful |
I’ve been dealing with this my whole life |
Other peoples opinions I used to hold tight |
I had to ask myself Would you rather be broke and have friends or Get money |
with those you don’t like |
Quick decision when niggas think you ain’t meant to rise |
Cause jealousy is just insecurity in disguise |
The stench of pride is what’s holding you niggas back |
So I don’t feature on track unless you paying or I sense a vibe |
They been sleeping on what I say hard |
Now they finally acknowledged I’m passing their bar |
These industry niggas is like bitch they see me with another broad now I’m |
suddenly on their radar |
Waved off what I may loss when it breaks one way to be great |
But I had to separate my fate to display who was fake |
I can say it with faith |
Never trust a person so stubborn they won’t admit when they make a mistake |
Fuck your validation I don’t embrace your admiration |
I don’t reply to niggas cries I don’t care or have the patience |
I just say what’s on my mind |
You can take it how you take it |
You can drape yourself in lies |
I would rather stand here naked |
I don’t regret the path I’m taking |
I demand what I’m endowed |
I admit that my mistakes got out of hand cause I was proud |
My family said it was blatant I was stranded in clouds |
But it’s hard to see the stage till you standing in the crowd |
Never the type to feed excuses Never take light |
What seems as useless |
Try to rewrite the themes of music that is a plight |
That seems elusive |
I don’t expect for you to catch what I’ve been doing that’s the caption |
I don’t talk about success I just prove it in my actions |
I just use it as my traction and it’s more fuel for my passion |
They keep asking what would happen once I see loss? |
Of course I’m still hungry there’s nothing for me to feed off |
My nigga Tone said some things that I’ll never forget |
Never let money stress you out and don’t ever regret |
Choices you’ve made when these doubters try to negate you |
Just keep making music that real people relate to |
And that was our conversation in front of Dream |
But when does my occupation become a dream |
Said everything you work for is worth more than you can gage |
You gotta see these things through don’t ever skip a stage |
Ripped the stage at South By, then told the south bye |
As I rushed to airport hope they remember me |
On this flight with bigger rappers felt embarrassed I was careless |
With my talent and drowned in my insecurities |
Pulled my hood down shut my eyes closed pretend I’m sleep |
But I can still hear them laughing from over my seat |
Probably random not intended as such but I used it as my motivation instead of |
being my crutch |
I was so blind for so long in my mind did no wrong |
I prolonged what should have been the first path I rode on |
But hold on life can only give you what you take to long to live |
Even my mother said I pray that you don’t make it big (what?) Thought she said |
it as disrespect to me |
But now I understand that she was just protecting me |
Expect to see some speed-bumps when you fast forward |
Just be careful what you ask for |
