So much is going through my mind
It's hard to find the time
Thinking 'bout this gift that I've been given, scaling hills they wish to climb
While they praise creative minds. Better fall in line
Told my homie I been waiting, and he said it's almost time
King David 'fore the prime, future may decide
Fingertips get a grip but I seem to always slide
Hit or miss, get the bricks, build a bridge. Can't define
Holding on to a dream that I swear wasn't mine
Too busy reciting rhymes
Rehearse it til it's perfect. Reverse it, it's never perfect 'til u rework it and work it. I
Been feeling pressure, certain I'm guna rise
Write it down, kill a beat, when they on conceal the heat
Never speak. Staying meek
Skipped a cosign
Went straight to the league where they prey on the weak
Displayed what I speak
Don't care bout the green
Must be love why they did it. Keep em guessing
Time's a blessing, guess it's the essence of adolescence
Separate a sea of people cuz I feel I'm next in line
Look around I don't see nobody less than I
This is what its all for, one less than five
Praise a Jesus piece, push the real deal to the side
Same way hate mainstream but block different shots
Decide how you live, leave the sinning up to God
I guess if you seek you will find
Looking for trouble. Young moving subtle
Given all the pieces, stringing the words like a puzzle
Math and science failing class, I would struggle
And if my grades change, my passions the same
Zeroes in my account but I never complain
Price paid. We all gotta pay to play the game
Choosing not to live hurt though I'm living with pain
Give ten chances, I'd do it again
So if its real, can you tell me when I'm not
Every day carry cross. Even death couldn't stop
Man there's no way in hell, heaven won't prevail
Jeez heavens-sake. Fat chance, check the weight
Man you're late. Know that they have begun to be great
You should be ashamed this is what you made
Celebrate wrong time like belate. Don't relate to the nonsense
My conscious is pouring out content
Get cheese like a grate, but you're still poor minded
It all cost time, mine's borrowed
Luxury I can't afford. Still I came for more
Need a fix. When I spit, if it rains, then it pours
They intrigued by the lyrics cutting deep like a sword
I'm sure when I die where I go
Until then, give me time penning quotes that provoke
Need hope. Look to sky to steer the ship the shore. Whoa
I regress. The listeners progress
I don't got time to take a breathe
Didn't come for money, I just came for respect
Even though I promise half of y'all will just laugh and pretend
One for the money, two for the show
First rapper you know penetrating your soul
I ain't come to brag. May arrive last
I just came to set the game straight like a cast
Nothing without one traded throne for a casket
All the fake trash, man im past it
And it's not that I'm better than
Late nights, Letterman
Dudes getting sick, no cough, sipping medicine
Lit, no Edison
Give no credit cuz the subject ain't complete, no predicate
Faith don't need evidence
I came to give em more
Than all the short things thats irrelevant
