Chorus: Why's this always happen, ay yo, looking in the future still feeling smothered Rappers always acting, day after day, one time after another Life has got me trapped in, I can't jump these hurdles I'm stuck in the circle, but I'm a be the last one laughing
It kind of makes me wonder, like damn, what happened to my people What happened to commitment dropping sequel after sequel Was I the only one that wanted to finish what we started Was I the only one that had the guts to work the hardest I guess so, cause you ain't nowhere to be found Hey yo, my left blow could make an mc hit the ground I'm in erect mode, whenever rhyming must occur You prefer to take the path, do the math it won't add up Won't take the ladder, combining data, mind over matter Ain't really caring what ya do my glass will never shatter My pockets ain't no fatter from yesterday But at least I got paid dues all over my resume What, you don't pay dues you don't move And ah, What, don't wanna lose you conclude, but ah I ain't the one to point my fingers at the man If the man can't hold his own, drop the microphone Now what you think

Chorus
Ah yo, my third verse, last topic of discussion No introduction, but got you focused with no interruptions Up to nothing, the way I won't commit this Admit it, you did it, acquitted, forget it, yo I'm like the conscience that watches the steps you take I'm like the teacher in this game that makes it levitate Now I can hold my weight, so name another Never once dropped my head and ran for cover Or shelter, I melt ya, with flows I connect with Respected, injected, mc's be infected With disease, so I breeze by without a doubt The illest coming out, what you think I talk about, what
