They waitin' for that decline pray that I lose my mind They never want me to shine but I observe that trouble I will serve that Ear to the streets never will I give the curve back still movin' at a velocity still sensing the animosity hate mail is what they send me but I separate letters like an apostrophe colossally, didn't come the same must of had two angles he was isosceles but now I'm Socrates with philosophies I'm in my tree house please don't bother me and now it's lookin' like hella-smoke under aid they lettin' me pass the velvet rope and it's like getting reckless feeling like a lone star Texas
(Chorus) Uh-huh I know what's on your mind you don't think were gonna shine I face you to prove you wrong Thought I was week I tell you I am getting strong this time its gonna be different than the last time I swear I'm gonna turn from a hobby and a pastime tomorrow gonna be better than today (yeah) this will wash the pain away
Could you cheer for me when you see me? had to follow my dreams and they cannot believe me but, see I need it for the cake I go like Tunday for the TV and the radio retro 80 flow hood make it crazy though puttin' work with music made me lazy though why cause I couldn't write enough rhymes they say hip-hop is dead we bring the vital signs never trippin' I'm on a different grind bring slaughter to your houses young Nickonine see now tell whatcha get me wrong if I told you in the studio I met Solange if I said I command it like its the Pentagon hatin' on even on the roof I'm upper echelon but still forever we shine turn negative to positive I never decline
(Chorus) Uh-huh I know what's on your mind you don't think were gonna shine I face you to prove you wrong Thought I was week I tell you I am getting strong this time its gonna be different than the last time I swear I'm gonna turn from a hobby and a pastime tomorrow gonna be better than today this will wash the pain away Uh-huh
