Told myself I gotta stop playing around
So let's get it
Yeah
Well let me tell you why I started rapping
Had no direction although I called myself the captain
It was time start living it and stop the acting
I really need some money in orderly fashion
My pockets were broke my heart was broke
Felt like no one was listening whenever I spoke
Now I got you tuned in to every line that I wrote
Locked in my mind when I have the keys to be the most
Influential
I know that can you feel it and you hearing my potential
Apologizing to you cause I'm way behind the schedule
I'm hoping I got time to make the f*cking differential
Cause that shit gets consequential
I'm tryna be a symbol for my generation
A star leader with true class
I'm not into chasing ass or smoking grass
I skipped some classes but look at me I'm still a master
Hate being anything that's less than average
Step up to the plate I'm you're favorite batter
Should've ran home when I flunked up out of school
But I stuck to like a fool and let them use me as a tool
Don't get me wrong if that's you then that's you
But why let all this talent go to waste
All that other shit can wait
Knew my life was going down hill when I caught that f*cking case
And if you like me now well shit this is just a taste
Asking if my shit would even resonate
Cause the kids just like what slaps nowadays
Might as well release an EP for my throw aways
Even then that's some shit they couldn't replicate
Give me five years and let's see who's really dedicated
Got people mad cause what I used to do for them is what I'm doing for myself
Imma wrestle all my demons until I get the title belt
And now I'm coming off the top connected to my higher self
Until I'm on a higher shelf nigga
Be the one who did it not the one who said it
I'm just tryna live my life so that I don't regret it
The journeys most important though so don't forget it
If the bar is up too high that's how you know I set it
All my life I was waiting for shit to start
So much time wasted that could've properly been invested
I took my time and wrote this shit from the heart
Cause that's what the people vibe with and that was the most requested
I won't lie that had me feeling compelled
Gotta to stop with the funny shit like Chapelle
If I stuck to reading books I'd probably never excel
Cause why study history if I could f*cking make it myself
