[Verse 1 - Maza] I done probably heard it all They say you go too hard you bound to run into some walls Guess I was one of those who ran too far Cause I pushed beyond the limits, they looked infinitely small Closing in, you see that finish line, do anything to cross it I was, down to do whatever it would take Every turn you lose yourself and that just starts another race Now I’m off, running from the flashing lights I used to chase Couldn’t satisfy the appetite, I starved the more I ate Heard Maza you done changed, I don’t know what to tell ‘em cause The me from just a year ago is a stranger Looking in the mirror seeing traces of that kid I used to be And the new me aint even tryna claim ya Used to splitting laps and do what I started at I was caught up in the trap and now I don’t want no part of that Had to wave that life goodbye, aint even take a second to decide And you can do the same, you’ll never know unless you try So come on, lets go
[Chorus] Cause for now you’ll be targeted more til its gone In the end can’t escape, you’re all alone Guess it’s you versus them I know the truth hurts but then you got to choose where it ends And just let it go
Cause even now you’ll be targeted more til its gone In the end can’t escape, you’re far from home You’ll never know who’s a friend, no-one to go to depend on You’re alone in the end Just let it go
[Verse 2 - J. Cole] Welcome to the thoughts of a new nigga in the game I write this on the plane, my destination fame By the time I land, wonder how much shit’ll change Wonder what the weather like, will it be a better life Couldn’t have picked a better flight though, cuz ain’t nobody barely on it I guess them other niggas didn’t want it like I want it And if they did man I guess they scared to fly Nobody told them they could do it so they scared to try A couple people sit in first class, I can’t hate When you make it I make it we going to the same place I fighting back urges to hijack niggas I play the game and see who gotta fly back quicker Will it be you, or will it be me It’s kinda funny, you don’t look like no killer to me My girl dealing with me, and asked me how long I’ll be gone, shit Told her baby girl I’m packing for a long trip It’s Cole
[Chorus]
[Verse 3] Trust me baby, there’s a better way Cause if we make it out, they’ll never let us get away Won’t let us go, I let it go Because they never know the truth of what they doing Cause the most of us been lead astray I guess they aim let us spray stray bullets So, even if they aint aim, in a way it still kills us We all connected, only difference is perspective Killin me’s to kill the next man, tell me is that your objective If it is, then go ahead and pull the trigger I guess your quick to draw but don’t get the bigger picture Cause in the end, the karma’s all that you take with ya So why would you condemn me, self it seems you only end yourself There’s not a shred of wealth thats better than your mental health You might deny it, but I bet that these are things you said yourself. I’m just reminding you, society is blinding you The child you were, knew today decid to lie to you Goodbye to you!
