I been tryna walk around free spirited and light hearted
Dearly departed
How they gon' stop me
Should've never started
I do me regardless
As if that wasn't obvious
I'm just so autonomous
Stuck in drive on a long road
Long strides before the lunge though
Pent up with some shaky patience and the cliches drive me nuts so
Living flyer than Dumbo
Far fetched so dumb bro
Skittish city that feeds off vice never hand advice till the sun show
Finger waving like Mutombo
Probably never see the light of day
Been down bad since the day of birth I'm just not meant to see the finer things
Tried to be content and gratified but I was dreaming bigger than imaginations
Being present when nothings pleasant only feels like settling to something complacent
Talking on me they don't know my struggles or the daily problems that I'm f*cking facing
Rocawear and some Ecko shirts and they'll make fun of wherever housing place'em
Parallel to my hopes and dreams I just hope one day we end up adjacent
Lose yourself due to pride and ego that's what could happen when you're far with chasing
Masked up like the nigga Jason
Pray to God while we talk to Satan
Out of favors got none remaining
Out of here is where I'm f*cking aiming
How dare you dream now they shaming
Want you mindless and as lost as them
No time to support a nigga but I could post a bottle and they'll call a friend
Can't see the vision or the further payout so they try convincing to some average living
Punch in punch out while the clock is ticking and you sitting counting every f*cking minute
Payday coming ah some relief
But Uncle Sam need to take a piece
Plus you're overdue on a couple payments and the child support are you kidding me
All of this so I can't live at peace
Car's been sitting for some f*cking weeks
Still they tell me just to go and smile cuz there's someone out there who got it worse than me
Tired of waiting for my just due
Talk to God and we just bumping heads
To lives to suffer so what's the point
Almost feels like we better off as dead
Financial problems always f*cking drain me I just can't help thinking it'd be better rich
Pointing upsides when I'm pessimistic I can't have a moment well ain't that a bitch
No cries just suck it up
Hardships like you stick with us
F*cked over one too many times
Can't even sit and just begin to trust
Been forgotten we the rejects nigga
Can't sit pretty in the projects struggling
Inspired by the trapping niggas cuz they the closes to us with their money doubling
Could care less if this really troubling
We need to eat and have some pocket change
Household with no father figures is it just excuse or the proper blame
Single mothers tryna raise men
Half of them in the state pen
Claw and fight for every single crumb and that's why half of us deal with fake friends
New slaves this the norm now
Trading time for a petty price
I don't know bout you my nigga but I can't subscribe to that my whole life
Sure every week we end up aight
But it's too uncertain living check to check
Plus management stay on your ass and you can't deal with the disrespect
Currency got us changing now and you think these laws gonna make us sit
Dreading everyday we wake to live I can't take no more got me feeling sick
Now it's looking like it's worth the risk
Sitting plotting on a heavy lick
Judge sentencing everyone I wonder what they'd do just to feed their kids
Product of environment
I guess it's easy for the brainy bunch
Few words from the wiser men
That's it they ain't saying much
Work hard and just keep it hush
Analyze and reserve your trust
Walk through life with no bigger purpose cuz young boy got his feelings crushed
Crabs in buckets got me feeling stuck
At the bottom while I'm looking up
Long time since I flipped a pack but he respect the hustle so we keep in touch
Could turn back if I wanted to but I hate revisiting old habits
Few times between life and death and the shit almost ended so tragic
God bless me through tough times so now I'm here for some more magic
Tryna flourish not just get by just get me on it and hold stablish
