They like you could do much better
I said I already know
And I said once this shit get it out right
I just might lose control
You know my thoughts are so conflicted
It's a sickness that I hold
But I'm committed to depicting that I'm better on my own
She said I'm greedy for that paper
I said baby girl that's facts
That's the trouble coming up with nothing
Struggle is a trap
I stay winning for my people
No one ever plans to lose
But I got lots to do and lots to prove
And I got no excuse
I feel this passion it burns
Thinking I might just take flight and leave earth
Clean up my life but I came from the dirt
Heavy my thoughts 'cause they filled up with hurt
I just keep seeking the truth
I chase that green to escape from my blues
I elevate I'm like drake with these views
Trading my soul for bankroll I refuse
I got people in my ear they try to tell me how to live
Like they can look right through my eyes
And see all my mistakes real clear
But I been kicking since a youngin' playing soccer on the field
I set my goals above the rest and always question what is real
Don't talk if you ain't bout it
But I respect it if it's wisdom
I get lost up in my thoughts sometimes
I'm sorry if I'm distant
You know truth can be so cold
Some try to throw it under covers
Thinking lies won't do you dirty
Till the day you clean yo gutters
I never knew my dad
Found out that I have other brothers
I ain't mad no more I spose
Still that's time we wont recover
Man I'm hoping as a man
I will do better than I've seen
Tryna live my dream and in between just find out what I mean
I feel this passion it burns
Thinking I might just take flight and leave earth
Clean up my life but I came from the dirt
Heavy my thoughts 'cause they filled up with hurt
I just keep seeking the truth
I chase that green to escape from my blues
I elevate I'm like drake with these views
Trading my soul for bankroll I refuse
Life is what it is
Throw a fit you won't change that
Value you in my words if you heard you can save that
I ain't tryna live for revenge just the pay back
Tired of the running smoke a blunt and get faded
Too many times I let my own self down
Too many times I had to fight with self doubt
I realized that I can't be no sell out
I said that imma give em hell
Until the system meltdown
I feel this passion it burns
Thinking I might just take flight and leave earth
Clean up my life but I came from the dirt
Heavy my thoughts 'cause they filled up with hurt
I just keep seeking the truth
I chase that green to escape from my blues
I elevate I'm like drake with these views
Trading my soul for bankroll I refuse
