Promonant - Roadblocks (feat. Empre$$) Lyrics

I guess it's just me and issues homie
Looking for different ways to get into the game, nothing was the same
Used to dream of being a millionaire all my stories untold
I spent some time to develop a brand new book of my own
I'm still young and I'm learning new stuff as I go along
I wanna get a royalty whenever I perform a song
Wasn't easy for me, guess I'm the right man to do it
If I don't step outside this box I swear for Christ imma lose it
When I moved into the hood it nearly broke my mother's heart
But she knew I was a man and that We'll never break apart
And I really don't give a f*ck either
You can drop harder than ya body once it stops breathing
My grandma thinks I need medication
These niggas think they f*cking with me, I be getting aggravated
Growing up, I got four lil sisters
And I will hurt you motherf*ckers if I catch you playing with her
I grew up as an only child without no father figure
I think he said we can't afford to pose a family picture
This shit got me bouncing in circles look how my life turned around
Nobody heard me before, so are you hearing me now?
I walk around with my head in the clouds these roadblocks out here chasing me down
These roadblocks out here chasing me down
Roadblocks out here chasing me down

I used to think that this was never gonna be reality
Til I saw the newest rappers on the television screen
After that I knew my vision was way more just than a dream
Fascinated by the luxuries of getting cream
And now I gotta team of artists with the same vision
We chase paper make music on the same mission
They told me once that I could never be the top ten
But imma prove em wrong as I did again and again
Nowadays I sit and write the shit that's on my mind
To all my people in the struggle its about that time
Stay on ya grind and be humble cuz the world is bout to end
I need love more than I need a friend
Let's not pretend that I ain't brought my city back on the map
And rep my squad to the fullest now how crazy is that
To all the ones that dont believe me finna teach y'all a lesson
The power lies beneath my pen and imma keep on expressing
My inner animal is hungry for some verbal assassins
I run with niggas with figures that do this shit with a passion
Done laughing at these mother f*ckers steady relaxing
You sounded sick for thirty minutes then you started relapsing
I'm backtracking you class actors get turned to a dead rapper
This pain I feel keeps me immortalized til I'm dead after
Roadblocks

Chained up to the bed I can't find my way
Man I look in the mirror just don't feel the same
I'm fighting demons, my life ain't even, I think I'm evil
With a golden smile, I think this happiness could take a while
Can't eat, can't sleep, man i miss my family
Contemplating my life, they don't understand me
I'm wearing clothes I don't like, getting told what to do
And I'm surrounded by bitches that ain't got nothing to lose
That's why I write all these rhymes cause I got something to prove
I hear talk behind my back I guess it's funny to you
Take heed of these words, nightmares are the worst
While you downgrading bitches, I just left with your mistress
But it's cool though, I ain't stressing the bullshit
Cause I'm coming back home, been gone for too long
These roadblocks in my life, but I'm still going strong
It's cause I'm dedicated
