Put my heart and soul in this game and got nothing
Yeah
Life is the game and it's rigged like the oil
Listen
I put my heart and soul in this game and got nothing
Chasing after karats but my stomach still rumbling
Life is the game and it's rigged like the oil
It's always get the money but the money ain't loyal
Saw my parents pinch pennies to lose it all regardless
Taught me live today cause tomorrow ain't promised
Saw my neighbors get robbed by people we know
It's hard to tell the difference from a friend and a foe
Saw Pali burn out soul gone to the next
Wondering how fast can I push it before death?
Saw success for myself lot of wealth I amass
Hope I've got a bright future cause I've got a dark past
Dedicated to my craft, overly so
I been warming up everybody says I'll blow
In my heart know I got room for improvement
I'mma go prove it till The Rose booming
Keep my bags packed I ain't staying forever
Catching up to stars I'ma keep getting better
I'm going way up, way up
Way up way up
Keep my bags packed I ain't staying forever
Catching up to stars I'ma keep getting better
I'm going way up, way up
Way up way up
What happened to prospering and substance
Now it's substance abuse
We drown in over abundance
And feed poison to youth
Rather be like Future than Kendrick
Twist messages misuse the metric
It's like we like chasing what we're never catching
Forbidden fruit I squeeze two and sip the juice
The end is loose it's meaning is up to you
I take cues from the legends and leverage myself
Put the worth on my essence with the cards I been dealt
Funny how the brightest smiles hide the darkest feelings
People dying over money corporations make a killing
Spilling blood over gangs turn gang signs commercial
This life's one pernicious circle
Dedicated to my craft, overly so
I been warming up everybody says I'll blow
In my heart know I got room for improvement
I'mma go prove it till The Rose booming
Keep my bags packed I ain't staying forever
Catching up to stars I'ma keep getting better
I'm going way up, way up
Way up way up
Picture walking in on Craig hanging from the rafters
That stings to this day he used to fill the room with laughter
Who knew under candid banter lies a monstrous cancer
Not physical but still consumes the man that it is after
It's madness mental state turn a great to grave
When I see the phrase Just Do It think should I do the same?
...Damn
Everybody felt the struggle everybody felt the pain
I know it's all pointless you can put the point in anything
Like let's see what kinda night 4 blunts and Henny bring
It's 8 billion ways to live choose one
Nothing is forever so for now let's have fun
Depression stems from losing sight of what's ahead
Your life is in the present and not what's in your head
We make up the future but live in the now
Got all the time in the world to be
Dedicated to my craft, overly so
I been warming up everybody says I'll blow
In my heart know I got room for improvement
I'mma go prove it till The Rose booming
Keep my bags packed I ain't staying forever
Catching up to stars I'ma keep getting better
I'm going way up, way up
Way up way up
Keep my bags packed I ain't staying forever
Catching up to stars I'ma keep getting better
I'm going way up, way up
Way up way up
