Working hard every day, but you got to work harder to survive
Striving to keep alive, hip-hop's got to be kept alive
Same old story, you have something, then someone will try to deprive


Writing a lot, doing my best, and you can start to see progression, I thrive
Need to buy a microphone just so the mix tape can arrive

You've heard what I can do, be it away or when I'm live
Trying to stay badly, because if you fall, it'll be deep, similar to a dive


I've moved further away from the knife; now I'm tryna keep me alive
Wish we were united, but out opinions keeps us away, yeah it makes us divide


Isn't it weird, everything anyone ever does, people would criticize and complain
Do something for the people, they they'd take it and say, you just want attention, yeah you wanna entertain
People going hard on you like a bag of cocaine


But you're confidence, you're tryna maintain
Anything you do, no one acknowledges, but you're trying to do everything to stay and remain


You're going boom, like a plant in Ukraine
Losing everthing, tryna hold on and retain

Like spain in football, they manage to keep the title's, again and again

When you wanna do something, you better be careful,

You got to keep someone beside,
Need to know who to trust, or you'd just be a back up, at a side
Sometimes, you'd be forced to face your former best friends, and collide


Can you be loyal, can you be honest to em, can you tell em everything, and nothing you'll hide
You've kept your pride all the time, so when you look em in the eyes, you say I loved you


But inside, what you did to me, it burned and I cried
That's not even the worst you've done for me, this just everything complied

Are you up to forgiving them, it's up to you, fate is on your hands, you get to decide

When we met, I felt, we were similar, and with me you could relate

We'd tell stories to each other, each taking a turn to narrate
Thought, you'd be forever, but that crushed, a end to the fate


Why'd it come to me so late? Now we're erupting with hate
I remember, when it was me, who got the messages, the phone would vibrate
Now when you see em, you'd take a turn, like a car on rotate

They talk about you, behind your back, set things against you

Reason for your downfall is the opposition, they manipulate and dictate

You got to start all over again, you have to create
I've learned from the old me, I mutate
This freight train, I'm tryna keep it straight


I got to keep it up, this an attempt that I can't leave with a vain
Now y'all know more about me,

Sounds like everytime, I f'ck'd up, it goes around, like a music in refrain
But I'm tryna learn, so next time, it'll be happier, and stay there abstained.
