Alright, we feelin' down, now it's time to turn up So crank it to eleven, yeah, we pressin' all up Man, I was so blind, thinkin' it was all love Then I found out half these rappers all just makin' *** up Now, maybe I was gone too long, debate would keep on ragin' on But I'ma be the greatest one when all of it is said and done I'm workin' till the break of dawn, I'm seein' all of it go wrong Don't care about the lyrics, only care about what it's written on But I gotta say, that ain't the path for me Cause I'm the type to always let my past speak See, all my favorite rappers always pass, they peeps The up-and-comers only care about packin' heat So I guess I gotta step up and show you what I offer Memory to the game before I showed up at the altar Carryin' my name has always felt a little awkward Ain't top five, then I'll beat Jamal Crawford, yeah But on the journey there, I gotta keep reminding everybody That my breed is rare, like a sleepin', I've been seethin' At the things I'm seein', it's like everybody fell into the deep And what they deem is cause they shoutin' and they screamin' We all know that life ain't fair And that you won't get far if you act insecure So I'ma open up my mind just to see what's there Cause I'm the type to grind to avoid the stairs And I've been known to get in trouble for the things I didn't know Try to find my lane and wind up on a different road Always made some bad choices back in the day Ain't much I can say But I wasn't tryin' to weaponize hate Merely died just to recognize fate Already paid for my mistakes I'm gonna make it, whatever it takes Never knew what it meant to be sane Don't be ashamed if you feel the same Gotta move forward to win the race You are the controller, life's a game See, I was born in 93 to a teen Never really had a team, only person I could trust was me Had asthma attacks at the age I was three So I rapped till I'm out of breath to remind myself to breathe I find it funny and a bit ironic that my dad abandoned me At the age he was adopted Now I'm feelin' like my wallet cause I'm comin' out of pocket Used to live my life in private, now I'm talkin' cause I walked it out Started ridin' cause my thoughts would keep me up at night And all these hypocrites use politics to say they right You thinkin' moves to be smarter if you just had some more dollars But I see most of you clowns ain't even penny wise Sorry I don't sympathize with those who live a simple life I'm done with all these simple debts, I tend to bend their fickle minds But to kill your image never helps them get into disguise Seen what you saw multiplied by a hundred times Tried to bring an end to my story But I put away the knife and noose in need for some glory Cause I would rather light the booth than be a beacon for worry But if I'm actin' ignorant, you just gotta inform me Because I promise I'm not tryin' to I can only say my truth is based on my experience So tell me what happened to you I'm still learnin' how to change Cause all I felt was pain when I stayed the same I wasn't tryin' to weaponize hate Nearly died just to recognize fate Already paid for my mistakes I'm gonna make it whatever it takes Never knew what I'm meant to be sayin' And don't be ashamed if you feel the same Gotta move forward to win the race You are the controller if life's a game I wasn't tryin' to weaponize hate Nearly died just to recognize fate Already paid for my mistakes I'm gonna make it whatever it takes Never knew what I'm meant to be sayin' And don't be ashamed if you feel the same Gotta move forward to win the race You are the controller if life's a game I'm gonna make it whatever it takes Never knew what I'm meant to be sayin' And don't be ashamed if you feel the same Gotta move forward to win the race You are the controller if life's a game I wasn't tryin' to weaponize hate Nearly died just to recognize fate Already paid for my mistakes I'm gonna make it whatever it takes Never knew what I'm meant to be sayin' And don't be ashamed if you feel the same Copyright © 2021 Mooji Media Ltd.
