What's good with me? Man you don't know the half
Ive been grinding, doin this and that
Finding time, prepare a rap
You might even look through my posts, and say he's where it's at
But I slowly see things becoming different

I mean, just imagine starting to grasp the meaning of your existence
I'm moving forward, closer to the life I dreamed of living
I'm moving closer but things are becoming distant
I guess that's universal law that I'm kickin not just physics

Shift attention, then I'm switching friendships
The ones that don't get'em get attentive
But their kinship is nothing that has been of interest
Sometimes I move around because I sense a bit of tension
N***as that I dapped up did me like I was on their shitlist

You know the difference between a snake and a rat?
It's how they reveal themselves and you'll know a rat when they get in pinches
To survive they'll eat you alive
And this is someone I befriended
All that I'm saying is that being here has made me more unforgiving

More hesitant, reticent
But I've grown and I weathered it
Repelling the negative, it corrodes if it settles in
But being taken for granted is the curse of benevolence
[I feel like shit shouldn't bother me this much
I feel like caution is the product of distrust(x2)]

All this disarray from naïveté
I've seen my ways
I need some space from people, asylum-seeking
Just my mind and the silence speaking
Time is flying but I'm not the pilot
Toke in totes, in my garage and getting lost in writing
No I don't, say much about this and to be honest
Energy is currency and this ain't worth the deposit

But it still costed
Takes a lot not to accost 'em
Especially when you know they've been tossin your name and talkin
Bringing shame to your rep and been mocking
Nonsense as knowledge
Whatever, where I'm going there's no dodging the gossip

There is a, difference between having character and being one
