Woke up this mornin with certain evaluations
the feel of not doin %#@!, heart palpitakin
since the mixtapes I have a full cult followin

so much exposure comes more expectations obviously
still recordin tracks from the space of my small closet
a full discography with no money comin, its awkward

me and the fam rarely talkin
stepdad complainin bout havin too much downtime
"Culture Shock" dropped got everybody amazed at me

battle rapped and lost but people on forums praisin me
old fans ashamed of me (why?)
supposedly I sold out since this rap %#@! like I went mainstream

with a record label in the makin
so I can finally grab my yearbook and take it and torch the pages off
I came a long way so who the hell you tellin?

seems like yesterday that I recorded "Rap Rebellion"

Got a $#&@in job but I rarely get hours

workin VIP for celebrities, how fun
with all that work, not enuff for my insurance
plus my license has expired clearance, bar none

always out the house walkin with my music blastin
everybody guessin always askin all these questions
"is your son schoolin? how much he get paid to work?"

"does he pay rent? how come Jonathan don't go to church?!"
well not to come off as a skeptic grouch
but readin $#&@in stories from a book shouldn't guide my logic

if its suppposed to guide so well by that statement
then you $#&@ers shouldnt judge me nor abuse me from impatience
different outlook on myself caused a %#@!storm

they think as if I'm poisonin my body with some menthols
$#&@ everyone findin reasons to "boo-hoo" about
my time is up here, prepared for 3 years to move out


Seems like every other song I write is gettin personal
ventin everybar is gettin tiresome, first of all

I started rhymin just because I always got %#@! to say
can't type a status without people crying, freakin A
people on my jock cuz of the music I like

random cowards talkin %#@! sayin "I'm not even tight"
I'm "too lyrical" its "boring" and I "don't get the hype"
say a response and suddenly they startin a fight

!@$!ed %#@! right? people sayin stay in my lane
cuz I'm tryin different stlyes "Fletch it aint the same!"
"You've changed!" no I didn't, styles grown for pete sake

you want the old me? download my old beat tapes!
sheesh, some people gotta understand
life changes people in everyway I'm a different man

so what you thought I was, take a second look and guess again
