Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Alright check me out!
No I don't claim to know the struggle
'Cause I've never lived it but
Life for me hasn't always been photogenic and perfect
Only I can make my own self determined
Not a parent, a preacher, a teacher, Jesus or verdict could overturn
This will power that I got burnin'
So deep inside of me trying unecessary like cursive
And no my parents aren't divorced
My pops never vanished
They act like since I've always had granite tops
That I take this shit for granited, dammit
That isn't further from the truth
Who gives a damn if I was brought up astute?
They say
"You don't have the financial problems all these real rappers do and you ain't even bustin' caps in dudes"
And just because I have a passion for rappin'
The world expects me to?
Now that's the stupidest thing that I've ever heard
I'm just gon' flip em' the bird
I'm wakin' up in the early morning hours
A powerful work etchi's so unheard of in this day
And age I'll make my way regardless of the haters hatin'
Envy is a shameful trait
Sometimes I feel there's no escape from the scrutiny and judgements
And really
Theres not it's gonna keep comin
As long as long as the youngin' is buzzin'
Ah,
So I just accept it and laugh
And as much as I love the cash it's so much deeper than that
Bein' iconics what I'm striving for while sleeping
I snap into a new reality within my dreams
And then I wake up to the exact same thing
'Cause recently my life is flipped 180 degrees
I was never the most confident of my friends
I remember down in my basement
Sammy, Big Mikes and Biggs
They made me rap for em'
Threatening me with shit if I didn't
Lowkey makin fun of me as I spit
You know how it is
Probably thinking to them selves
"You better stick to your day job"
But now the jokes on them
'Cause that's exactly what this is
Yeah
Gettin the types of girls I used to not
Kinda goes to show as an example
How I'm used a lot
But no I'm not complaining
'Cause no I didn't got the moral compass of the gods
Honestly sometimes I fuck up
I'm just a human
Sometimes I'm out until the sun's up
But that's just how it is when you're young buck
Livin' on my own only 18
Don't really like the clubs much
I'd rather chill and puff one
But that's besides the fact
Hip hop head claiming I can't mess with em' 'cause this or that
And they're viners and they have young girls for the fans
But man at least those girls love me just for who I am
I, I guess they'll never understand it's aight
