Since a youngin
Know I always had to open mind
Can't express the way I'm feeling
It may take some time
If you don't do it
Who gon do it for you
Just to shine
I painted all the walls
To see the bigger picture
I define
I run it up I kept it going
Past tense I was down bad
Losing focus
On defense
Protecting all my spirits
Ain't noticed on me
Mhmmm
Niggas touch a bag they acting brand new
Ok now bought a chop
This shit could rip through
Or you gon try me like I'm basic
I ain't simple
Can't compare with rest
Do shit for others that you can't do
I'm from a place they only love you
When you lit up all your candles
I put my back against the wall
Nobody knowing
I tried to stop this pain
I know it's pouring
I'm tied up in the rain
But never show it
Yea you lied up in my face
I kept it going
All these drugs that I'm rolling
You ain't never been through shit
I went through
Can't say that you feel me
Helped you out that money changed you
Surviving by the day
Aint nothing promised
Cannot phase you
And every breathe I take
I pray to god they can't take you
(Ouu yea yeah)
Since a youngin
Know I always had to open mind

I define
I run it up I kept it going
Past tense I was down bad
Losing focus
On defense
Protecting all my spirits
Ain't noticed on me
Mhmmm
Niggas touch a bag they acting brand new
And I got these choices that I gotta make
Niggas that had doubt in me
Voices in my head kept talking to me
With no boundaries
Look up in the mirror
See myself I know he proud of me
I faced the unpredictable
I know that's how it gotta be
Ain't with the pillow talking
See me in 3D
I feel the pills kicking in
My head spinning
Look at my momma in her eyes
Know it ain't easy
I feel like all I see is all this hatred
Separate myself from the rest
And stay different
I got it on my own
Held it down
Stood on my pivot
Look through it all trusted myself
And stay consistent
Mhmmm
Got to sit back and just listen
Since a youngin
Know I always had to open mind
Can't express the way I'm feeling
It may take some time
If you don't do it
Who gon do it for you
Just to shine
I painted all the walls

Past tense I was down bad
Losing focus
On defense
Protecting all my spirits
Ain't noticed on me

Niggas touch a bag they acting brand new
(I run it up I kept it going)
In 3D
(I was down bad losing focus)
It ain't easy
