No I don't claim to know The struggle cuz I've never lived it But life for me hasn't always been photogenic and perfect Only I can make my own self determined Not a parent, a preacher, a teacher, jesus or verdict Could overturn this will power that i got burnin So deep inside of me, Tryins unnecessary like cursive And no my parents aren't divorced, My pops never vanished They act like since i've always had granite tops That I take this shit for granted Damnit That isn't further from the truth, Who gives a damn if i was brought up astute They said "You don't have the financial problems All these real rappers do, And you ain't even bustin caps in dudes" And just becaude I have a passion for rapping' The world expects me to? Now that's the stupides thing that i've ever heard I'm just gon' flip 'em the bird I'm waking' up in the early mornin' hours A powerful work ethic's So unheard of in this day and age I'll make my way, regardless of the haters hatin Envy is a shameful trait, sometimes i feel there's no escape From, the scrutiny and judgements And really there's not it's gonna keep comin' as long As long as the youngin' is buzzin' Ah So i just accept it and laugh And as much as i love the cash It's so much deeper than that Bein' iconocs what i'm striving for while sleeping, I snap into a new reality within my dreams And then i wake up to the exact same thing, Cuz recently my life is flipped 180 degrees I was never the ,ost confident of my friends I remember down in my basemend Sammy, Big Mikes and Biggs The made me rap for 'em threatening me with shit if i didn't Lowkey makin' fun of me as i spit you know how it is Probably thinking to themselces, "You better stick to your day job" But now the jokes on them cause that's exactly what this is Getting the types of girls i used to not Kinda goes to show as an example how i'm used to lot But no i'm not complaining cuz no i don't go the moral compass of the gods, honestly Sometimes i fuck up i'm just a human, Sometimes i'm out until the sun's up But that's just how it is when you're young buck Livin' on my own only 18 Don't really like the clubs much I'd rather chill and puff one But that's besides the fact Hip hop head claiming i can't mess whit 'em cus this or that And they're viners and they have young girls for the fans But man at least those girls love me just for who i am I guess they'll never inderstand, it's aight
