I'm trying to focus on what's real in my life,
In my moments of perception, you can see it in my eyes,
It's a battle that rages, that tears me from the seams,

I don't remember what I've even sacrificed for these dreams,
I never get to sleep cuz the game plays for keeps,
I've never been one to wait or to just sit in my seat,

I gotta keep that fire alive, keep my spirit here from dyin'
And what's up God? Why ain't you helpin' when I'm tryin'
I'm cursed with a gift that I can't seem to function without,

But this lack of paper has me living with so much doubt,
Music has been my life & I should be so $#&@in high,
But most of the time, I feel like I just wanna die,

No ones believed in me, so how do I believe in myself?
Dat's why sometimes I want to put this %#@! right on a shelf,
Wanna finish this race, put an end to the chase,

Never look back, but in my soul all I hear is bass (wit dat)




I try to live by my hustle with the gifts I was given,
Many think in this %#@!, its a rockstar livin',

Many of you know me and some just think you do,
Many are inspired by the words and many are fools,
My philosophy, I got nothing for this industry,

If you want to be free, thats how it should always be,
Never ever let these crooked cats take a dime,
You need to get yours, like I'm out here getting mine,

A legend is the finished product of the under rated,
But be careful cuz in this %#@!, it'll leave ya jaded,
Todays' next big thing is just yesterday's news,

That's why I don't want to stand in no ones shoes,
$#&@ with these beats to manifest destiny,
Individuality, $#&@ mediocrity,

Be my own man with my own identity,
With my own style, yea, that's how it should be (ya heard me?)




This is how it is with the hands I was dealt

And I know I shouldn't be so hard on my $#&@in' self,
But dat %#@!s hard when all you've ever known is pain,
And almost every person in your life has been about games,

I may be enlightened, but that doesn't mean I'm a fool,
Some sucka that knows no better or is used as a tool,
Dont ever think I'm a (*##$ cuz I wont play your game,

You just mad cuz you cant make me say your name,
Life aint eazy, got get it how ya live,
Gotta know when to take, yea, gotta know when to give,

Don't ever let your ego take what's comin' to you,
Don't expect others to always be about truth,
You're the only one who will watch your back man,

And you're the only one ya gotta keep on track man,
So keep yo %#@! pumpin' pimp, keep it on the move,
This is how I rock dirty, so what you wanna do? (wit dat)
