[Intro]
It's August now
Summer's soon going to be over
The only thing I get to live with
Is becoming one year older

[Verse 1]
Shoutout to those that are afraid of growing up
And are coping up with the shit life is throwin' 'em
While sewing up the loose stitches carefully
They'll never stop giving heresy
Living life like a history lesson
My days are limited, I must miserably spend 'em
It's crowded in my mind, praying like I'm Ortega
In 06, cirrhosis, saving the scars for later
Society's hypnosis is atrocious like a cicada
It's braids are just roaches crawling as they approach us
You could call me a grasshopper, a bad chopper
Yeah, I'm still learning and yearning for more
Churning out songs, and earning more dough
Cooking up a delightful dinner for the winners
A beginner in life but I ain't no quitter

[Verse 2]
The kicks get louder while life gets harder
Crushing competition and bombing with my mortars
Yet I'm working hard like a farmer, pushing it farther
Not much income from the market, no Pusha T profit
My name is my name, but am I really proud of it?
Can I trust you to tell me that I sound like shit?
If life's a bitch, then I'm kissing her foot
A cypher, scribblen' rhymes, misunderstood
I'm just mediocre, but really focused
They're not reading my ways, I'm not Stephen Niday
Street lights shining, they're blinding me, defining me
The skies are grey, lightning's frightening
Enlighten me on how I should be getting better
Spitting clever rhymes or assemble pleasure?
I don't know man, my flows wack, it's August now

[Outro]
Shoutout to XX/\/\E and E-Qlipse
Steb, Translucent, Chop, Cruz, can you feel this?
ScopeY, Don Sensezi, Bigheadvic, Papillon, uh
Nikova, Stunna, Triple 6, and J Trauma
And to you for listening to my mixtape
I'm sorry if I drove you a little bit insane
I'm still alive and I'm not ready to die
After living through the month of July
Emp
