I was using both my pockets as a wallet for some cash
Surrounded by this paper makin' comics in the class
I'm a hero, I'm the menace
Young Denis with the pad
I'm a legend, armageddon, tryna tell myself all that
Till' they beat me up, kicked me down
Slapped me in the face
Tell me who are you
All your fears
All the things you hate
You're alone
On your own
With everything you create uh
Seven seven years old already tryna find my way
Now I'm tryna be God level, that's why they don't believe in me, I
Knew I was more than the helpless kid I seemed to be, I
Live in this sparrow court, I didn't need to be fly
Didn't fit in easily, I
Live for a reason, see now
I need all the credit I deserve, I deserve
From the 90s in July till' when I die and I leave earth
Right from birth, write my worth
For my soul I search
Took fear at it's worse, no one had the nerve
Running through the highs and the lows, never stop
Laying low till' I find a road to the top
Never gon' fold, cause I know what I want
And I got it on my wrist, y'all will never break it off
Running through the highs and the lows, never stop
Laying low till' I find a road to the top
Never gon' fold, cause I know what I want
And I got it on my wrist, y'all will never break it off
Now all they say is eat, sleep, eat, sleep
Make it out alive
I don't wanna die, got a bounty on my life
So I eat, sleep, eat, sleep, make it out alive
They say they dedicated but they've been living a lie
So I eat, sleep, eat, sleep, make it out alive
I don't wanna die, got a bounty on my life
So I eat, sleep, eat, sleep, make it out alive
Look me in my eyes, tell me that you killed my pride
No way
(Never break it off)
(Never break it off)
I had a dream it wasn't hard to see
But it gets hard to sleep, dedication is taunting me
Sold my soul to these goals, without knowing what it had costed me
Till' it became apart of me, part of me feels numb
Exhausted, but fear none
Been honest since year one
This heart that can beat drums
This talk in my ear drums singin'
You ain't need to study, you ain't, you ain't need to work
You don't even need this money the minute you leave this earth
The feelin' is getting worse
With every dollar I earn
A little part of me dies, see the size of my urn
See my eyes while they burn at the sight of your success
Little moments of my failure, thinking that I am less
The more jealous that I get, the more my nose grows
I've always been insecure, I lie, it just shows
So I need all the credit I deserve
The life that you've been livin' is different than in your words
While ever since a kid I've been driven for something worth
All my limits till' I finish give my all to this world
While I dive in head first, I might drown in the lake
I hate growing up, that's the sound of my angst
They got a lot up in their cup, I got pounds on my plate
I need a sound I can paint and maybe encounter a saint
I'm lazy and counting on pain to pay me a visit
Cause lately a different state ain't
Been giving the inspiration envisioned
This space is different, days are blending into one in the same
The pace is quick, I stay pretending I got something to say
