What's the matter Kid thought that rap would make you famous
The times are changing sounds evolving all your beats are basic
Your boring blather bout what matters doesn't carry favor
Nobody's listenin flip the script and make some major changes
You want your payment right?
Women that will stay the night?
Focus more on image less on all those rhymes
This is the industry speaking follow these guidelines
That's how you
Make it be famous you gotta sacrifice switch up your style
Told myself this was for me to build my confidence
Told myself I'd never give in to the politics
Told myself it didn't matter what they'd think
Because if you stay true to you it always draws a following
Told myself that sellin my soul would be a foolish bargain
It has more value than diamonds or anything on the market
Won't be a carbon copy backed by corporate sponsor
Taking orders
Pushing products
Just to look the hottest constant
No
Told myself that isn't worth it worthy purpose trumps a wealthy person
Gotta stay aware and motivated with honest courage common logic
And the wit to look through those who wish halt your progress
Follow those only who put you solely over gain of pockets

Told myself I'd never see this as a competition
Treat my friends like enemies especially when they brought me in
But lately my lack of progress has me feelin opposite
Thinking I'll be scrutinized if I don't drop this project quick
Thinking of perfection only
If I fail I guess that's it
But what is it?
Just another beginning to what I thought was end?
What if failures what I need to spark the courage in my chest
Maybe all I need is heart
Gotta learn to love myself again
