25 lighter on the dresser
It feel like 25,000 pounds of pressure
Days of our lives, unimpressive
The lives of the young and the restless
Promised I would make it 'fore 25
One nation, under God
We ain't won the war yet but I'm still alive
It's a high speed chase, are you down to ride?
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
Why are you afraid?
And I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
I need a new solution, I can't get a different job
I need a bigger slice, and a bigger pie
So I'm tryna turn this verse into a enterprise
Hit the spacebar and they say "it's alive"
Do it the biggest, ain't no way I could be minimized
Better move up out my way when I get energized
They gon try to break the record 'fore it crystallize
Can't run away
Cant lose a day
Cant lose my faith
Can't run away
Cant lose a day
Cant lose my faith
Silent battles, time travel, it feel like light speed
Mind fragile, night terrors from chasing pipe dreams
Momma was my biggest cheerleader, said all the right things
City never echoed that sentiment, they don't fight clean
Wish I could talk to Kipp at 19
F*ck your intellectual property, what's your IP?
Rap game changed so rapidly, almost laughably
And everything feel like a parody, ain't no raps in this
Rappity rappers, sometimes I feel like it's a wrap for me
Actually feel like Chappelle, they laugh at the masterpieces
Record sales reflecting neglect of the written word
The connection from heart to heart when you spill your soul in a verse
The learning curve, what did you cook from that slow burn?
The universe aligned and decided it's your turn
And it didn't waste a minute, I say that shit sarcastically
I just told the ugly truth and that shit paid me handsomely
Could that be why they fancy me? Cynical
Cause I don't respect change unless it's drastically, intervals
In my past I had to break my back and slave for the minimum
Finance may be the only thing to change my synergy
In my craft, if I could run it back I'd do that shit happily
Wouldn't change shit, saying that with a nickel to my name
Now make it make sense
I say all of that to say this
I say all of that to say this
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
What are you afraid of?
Why are you afraid?
Everybody's scared of something
The sooner you find out what it is
The sooner you'll conquer it
