You're a monster
I'm not the monster here you are
They tried to paint me a monster
So a monster I'll be
They telling me to calm down
Tell them get the f*ck off of me
They try to paint me a monster
So I monster I'll be
They just looking for a bad guy
And the bad guy is me
So a monster I'll be
The streets made me a monster
Made me a monster
Feel like I'm drowning
Underwater
Out in the ocean
Feeling my lungs fill and I'm choking
One Step I'm exploding
So think twice who you provoking
Yeah
I've seen more Dark Nights than I've seen sunny days
Rest in peace T.A
I'm still here to bless your name
I'm blessed to say
I did some crazy things in my past that I won't ever say
PMG
I rock with those who rock with me
I'll never sway
Even through the mistakes I've made
I'm still better than I was yesterday
Coulda been DOA on the back of that bus
But I'm no featherweight
My scars have made me wise
I've learned is was just a test of faith
I used to give a hundred passes away
But you test me now it's going to escalate
I've been battered and bruised
Striving to win but too often I lose
The world had a different plan
For the Swishaman
With no one to lace up my shoes
So I learned by living my life in the fast lane on cruise
That's why I'm a gentleman and a G with a lot to lose
They tried to paint me a monster
So a monster I'll be
They telling me to calm down
Tell them get the f*ck off of me
They try to paint me a monster
So I monster I'll be
They just looking for a bad guy
And the bad guy is me
So a monster I'll be
Mama always told me I was different
And it look inside her eyes when she said that told me she meant it
All those fragile times growing up
When I ain't understand
How my life unfolded differently than it did from all my friends
Still I've been all up on my journey
Hand scarred
Face dirty
Hated in my teens
Twenties
Tryna navigate my 30's
Still I Rise
And still I live
Cuz when you at the top they hate to see you win
They see my IG and my Facebook
And start plagiarizing my PlayBook
I did everything these rappers ain't done
They should thank me now for all I gave to them
Took my city back
And shared it with the planet
Never Dirty Macked
And I was never jealous
Because I'm a beast in every way you tell it
I don't know what's got them all up in they feelings
They've been making post and saving screenshots
They be pocket watchin when my team's out
Want to see me fail, but I don't see how
I already live in my dream house
So f*ck you in yo' canvases
If you gone paint me
Make sure you get that label right
Because a monster Ill be
They tried to paint me a monster
So a monster I'll be
They telling me to calm down
Tell them get the f*ck off of me
They try to paint me a monster
So I monster I'll be
They just looking for a bad guy
And the bad guy is me
So a monster I'll be
