| If I could, I would calm down and chill more
|
| Not always focus on putting my songs on the bill board
|
| Build a life around the people I do live for and not chase those things most
|
| people would’ve killed for
|
| And I’m still sure I’ve made the right decisions
|
| Became an underground musician and a mic magician
|
| Who’s still spitting while some peeps of mine had a life of crime and had to
|
| spend their first half of their life in prison
|
| Not the types to fit in, I just wish I could’ve been a guiding beacon or they
|
| rode the wave of my ambition
|
| Not getting high all weekend hiding from a crime committed
|
| Dodging the cops looking shady in their Nike fitted
|
| I shine like a diamond glisten, but I could give a little extra when scribbling
|
| my text up
|
| So I can spit a little fresher when the mic’s on live
|
| And give a finger to a heckler
|
| Oh my god I’m the one and they shouldn’t win
|
| Tryna play my part 'til one foot is in
|
| Look at him tryna smile with a crooked grin
|
| Standing there on the outside looking in
|
| Oh my god I’m the one and they shouldn’t win
|
| Tryna play my part 'til one foot is in
|
| Look at him tryna smile with a crooked grin
|
| Thinking, what it could, should and would’ve been
|
| If I picked my moments, and not spoke on impulses
|
| Shut my mouth more, might work under hypnosis
|
| Jokes aside, I would give a little less damn
|
| About the music industry, 'cause actually it’s killing me
|
| Now who’s a real mc, who got a deal and why
|
| It leaves a bitter sweet taste, there right up in my mouth
|
| Yo, I gotta spit it out, otherwise I feel the doubt
|
| All these could and should’ve and would’ve’s something I could live without
|
| It’s been a while now, that shit hit the fan
|
| I got a feeling it’ll do without contingency plans
|
| I should work but I’m tired like the Michelin man
|
| Of peeps who talk beside their mouths like ventriloquist hands
|
| Oh my god I’m the one and they shouldn’t win
|
| Tryna play my part 'til one foot is in
|
| Look at him tryna smile with a crooked grin
|
| Standing there on the outside looking in
|
| Oh my god I’m the one and they shouldn’t win
|
| Tryna play my part 'til one foot is in
|
| Look at him tryna smile with a crooked grin
|
| Thinking, what it could, should and would’ve been
|
| If I could hit the reset button on some things I’ve done in life or not
|
| And respect nothing like running up in someones wifey
|
| Even though she said nothing, I still live with a guilty conscience
|
| I wish I could’ve chose better people to building bond with
|
| No jealousy feeling within I kill that silly nonsense
|
| I wish I could replace that ego tripping with some calm sense
|
| If I knew then, what I knew now, my state would never support me
|
| I would’ve packed up and moved out long ago
|
| Erased maybe ninety percent of them niggas in my linear notes
|
| But thank my brother Pumpkinhead before it was his time to go
|
| I wish I could took the fam on European tours
|
| Wish I could «ctrl, alt, delete» my human being flaws
|
| If I could, I would’ve fought harder to be a boss
|
| Instead of that worker mentality labels reinforce
|
| I would’ve done less favors and done more for me of course
|
| But looking back, now I know what’s important to me, boy
|
| Oh my god I’m the one and they shouldn’t win
|
| Tryna play my part 'til one foot is in
|
| Look at him tryna smile with a crooked grin
|
| Standing there on the outside looking in
|
| Oh my god I’m the one and they shouldn’t win
|
| Tryna play my part 'til one foot is in
|
| Look at him tryna smile with a crooked grin
