It's been a long road
But shit, I made it
And that's all that matters
Gone for a minute
But I wasn't sittin' idle
Goin' through a time
Where I was my own rival
But we'll skip past that
Yeah, it's just a vicious cycle
Okay, I'm back in the game
But no, I never left
Bout to put my old rhymes to shame
When I catch 'em with my writin' left hand
If you hear the ding ding
I'll take you straight to Dreamland
But no, I don't mean fighting
I really meant to say writing
Cause I'm paintin' pictures for the listener
And I know
I could probably make it simpler
But if I did that, I'd
Make myself a prisoner
All I ask is
You look a little deeper
Cause, if I'm being earnest
I'm a nervous person
It's a burden
When I'm standing there wordless
And my heart is hurtin'
I said
If I'm being earnest
I'm a nervous person
F*ck yeah, it's a burden
But then I hit 'em with a dap
And I catch 'em with a smile
We're on the same frequency now
Then we get to vibin'
And we pull the strings out, of the game
But no one's walkin' on the same path these days
Everyone's on a different track
Wearin' a mask
Racin' against themselves
Trying to get some sales
Or maybe some great new shoes
Or a fancy new grill
And yeah, I'm talking bout cars
That they quote, unquote bought
But it's really just a lease
Which is all okay
Unless you flaunt it on your page
But you're barely makin minimum wage
And your parents help you pay
Which is, also okay
But I guess
What I'm trying to say is
No one's really humble these days
Everyone has to show off
To increase the amount of likes
They're receiving on their posts
And they see it clout
But you can go ahead, and keep your crown
I don't want that shit
I'm already renown in the World of Warcraft
So I'm not really here to play around
I just wanna lay it down
Get down, to the nitty-gritty
Chill with someone who's not so fuddy-duddy
Starin' at their phone
And they can't crack a smile when I crack a joke
They just say, "Huh?"
And then I just laugh
And go back to my task
Yeah I'm in my zone
But, I don't wanna drone on
I'm tired of dealin' with these pawns
I just wanna move on
Swing my sword like I'm Aragorn
I gotta sharp tongue
I'll show you the weapon
Grew up in Dallas
But H-Town, I'm reppin
Raised down south
And I see it as a blessing
You're gonna hate on me
But I guess
That's freedom of expression
I'll be fine
I reckon
Yeah, I said
I'll be fine, I reckon
Bring it on, I beckon
I love to hear the hate when I'm doin something right
Or at least
When it feels right to me
I'm not really sure
Where my next step will be
But as I get closer the path will become clear to me
But if there is one thing I am sure of
It's that I'm never putting down this pen
