How many times I gotta drop a track
People gonna stop and ask
Why u talk about addiction
You ain't gonna pop wit that
You got so much talent
But B you wasitin it
They don't wanna hear it
(Nah) They wanna basic hit
Nuffin to say to this
Wonderin when the payment hits
I hear em mumblin under they breath
Could they Relate with this
I know they can
Cuz they story is the same as mine
Reach out my hand
Success is only a state of mind
They hate it when I say it's time
Bet I change ya mind
Show you what life could be
But they don't pay no mind
Been here for a decade, through the sweat and the tears
So that in 30 years I can Look at myself in the mirror
Know I did somethin to benefit Society I stole from
Using my penmanship supplying on the homefront
I question every action... every decision
Will I ever reach the addict, or Will he just come up missin
That's why I been on a mission, for anybody who listen
Yea I gotta make a livin
This ain't all about makin a million
This is all about the children
Orphans to an overdose
Somebody gotta reach em
Cuz they momma not gon hold em close
Been in the system... since I was a snot nose
Neva been a victim... said my poppa was a John Doe
And they wonder why, said it bout a hunnid Times
I gotta purpose and I'm workin on it double time
Go ahead... doubt what I'm doin
I see the mountains we movin
It's like the fountain of youth and
When I see em comin back to life
They mamma say they actin right
And she ain't worried bout if Johnny comin back tonight
You ain't gotta lie to kick it... be the real you
And u know that time is tickin... be the real you
You ain't gotta lie to kick it... be the real you
And u know that time is tickin... be the... yo
1, 8 to the 07
Sunbathin at Cochella
I was down and out, they wanna put me down like old yeller
They wanna euthanize me
Now I got the youth behind me
It's useless mommy imma tell em what the truth is finally
You ain't gotta go to school, butchu prolly should
So many that gotta degree pretendin they got it good
But they locked inna cycle, psycho like Jason and micheal
Say that they made it
But deep down they wanna say they they spiteful
You atta desk daily
I'm on a jet, pay me
I'm pushin all in, why u wanna bet 80
You in debt... but see I'm bout to detonate it
I Setta cadence, show u how long I been dedicated
Who said I made it? Hold up
Thinkin I'm famous, Show nuff
How long till pigs fly and all my haters blow up
And u can't make it if the hate it is ur heart
It's Canadian bacon if u Fakin it from the start
