But still it feels like... I'm always Catching up with myself The things we lost in the fire That I left on the shelf But still Much is required So that pressure is felt But self care is imperative When you pressing for wealth Man, stop your comparisons Y'all be stressing for help But trying to compare with him Just gon' mess with yourself I've seen it all More than I care to reveal I'm always sure to clear air for the real That's why I'm aiming at they grill Man, 'cuz this how I feel Nobody being sincere We need some changes for real We in that same old place Still hating in them same old ways Like it's '07 MySpace days Like we still rocking tall tees with the stickers Like we ain't make plays Or glo'd up in some major ways They'd rather sit on social media With things to say That never lead to pay Mama still say We need to pray, hey You know I am, Mama Yeah. you know that I am, Mama I'm still your little boy But to them, I'm da man, Mama I love my fans, but I do this for the fam I got angels all around me Just give the rapper a chance Now the only thing left to do Is stretch these bands They can either Bless these hands Or catch these hands Suicidal Thoughts Almost made me X my plans But I ain't Ready To Die Give me One More Chance Life after death It was all a dream for the revenue Here's a free gem A diamond you may have never knew You can take a few losses And still never lose Cuz when you put two L's together That's a W It's all perspective in the end, though I'm learning to be selective with my friends, though 'Cuz they direction just might be a dead end Once you choose to end that chapter That's where your story begins My glory is far from over Life is better when I'm sober Was dropping 4's in the soda And wishing on 4 leaf clovers And living all of my moments Through reactions and reposting Of emotions I was spilling When off the pills and potions My swimming pools turn to oceans I just had to get refocused Sorry, I ain't self destruct like you was hoping This music is like magic So I'm flowing hocus pocus Life is like an Open Mic So this is Mike being open Y'all be joking With ya cold Henny drinking And parole violations Got 'you thinkin' you some gangstas I ain't even got the patience To patronize all you wastemen I'm getting back to the basics I'm looking at all your faces I can tell the you complacent You hiding behind a mask Every thing that you been faced with You Jim Carrey and Jason We can always tell who faking Take the mask off See what the future holds When I was young I trying to be the Future Hov That was past me Now my present showing me All my future goals Here's some last words you should know I'm not perfect, but I'm worth it And my soul cannot be purchased And I'm much more than you see upon the surface Still searching for the better me
