[Verse 1: Ill-Noize]
Nobody's perfect, but everyone is worthy
As long as you don't stop believin' through the journey
It's no straight line, so many forks in the road
The path twists & turns, & the streets corrode
Watch your step, protect your neck
Keep hustlin', hustlin', homie get that check
You know life is not quite whatever you expect
But don't live in regret, just keep movin' ahead
Gotta keep a head on my shoulders, I'm colder
Than 99% of the mc's you rave over
So when is it my turn? My turn to take over
Burn down the trap house, the game need a makeover
Infinite knowledge at my fingertips
You look like you're missin' a bit, homie you better get a grip
You walk around with your store bought clique
I'm authentic
Did it all on my own
I'm gonna make it

[Hook: Ill-Noize]
So walk with me...
Through these hard times
(×4)

[Verse 2: Ill-Noize]
I'd rather be a wolf than a sheep
The sheep might stay warm, but the wolf eats
The sheep follows the herd, while the wolf leads
But I keep licking the knife while my tongue bleeds
Keep on getting caught up in these situations
These frustrations, two-steps back, I'm impatient, can't feel defeat, gotta get up
Up off my knees, & feel relief
It ain't a virgin just because it bleeds!
Back then we never thought enough, (No!)
Now I lay in bed & think too much
How many lines do I have to write
Before I get this right?
How many scribbles on this line
To find the words to describe
I just wanna get high, vibe, & talk about the future, forget my shortcomings
Sew up the sutures
Embrace the darkness, no hiding under blankets
I see a neon sign that reads I'm gonna make it!

[Hook]
