Never seen so many cloudy days
Used to live a mile high closer to the rays
I'm ways out of my comfort zone
So here's another song
Wondering if something's wrong with me as I gaze
At the grays outside while the blues inside
Got me nodding to a song of Billie Holiday's
God Bless the Child that got his own and prays
'Cause depending on a loan never pays
Hard to understand if you've never been amazed
By an invisible man but you still give him praise
That's faith in a plan that I really can't control
So I just do what I can, giving it my heart and soul
Working so hard, feeling kinda weary
Talking to God, hoping he can hear me
I'm feeling so stagnant, my mind's been a magnet to fears
And the year's full of too many tears to see clearly
Dear me, you'll get back what you've given it
Relax, Love yourself, Signed, Sealed, Delivered
And I'm yours, no Wonder they're tryna pull you under
Hoping that you stop climbing
Telling you to stop rhyming
And though you're not Common
You've been at it since the year 1-9-9-9
When a security guard at your high school told you to pursue it
If you put your mind to it, you could do it
But you knew it'd be hard
To make it in the game
Coming from a city everybody thought was lame
Because it isn't gritty
But all a sudden once the Mile High went legal
Everybody wanna visit now and fly like an eagle
We can smoke then poof, now we treated equal
I'm telling you The Truth and I'm no Beanie Sigel
But a Philly from my spot
Will get you more faded than a Fresh Prince high top
So get your breath mints, eye drops, a big bag of chips
And all the haters shut your big Mick Jagger lips
Acting like you write for the Rolling Stone
Unless you're J Dilla's ghost, don't throw a stone
I know it sounds arrogant to say this
But your criticism on my latest
Isn't weighted if you ain't one of the greatest
You're afraid to be a rebel
So why should I settle for so little
While you're still tryna make it to the level I was on in '07
On YouTube I was that dude, no Devin
I've been steady go-gettin'
And I can't find another way to win
'Cause Plan B was to try Plan A again
And again
And again
And again
Until I win
Until I win
