Everybody around me been tellin' me it's too late to go places
If you complicit then we muthaf*ckin' racin'
Get a kick in the mouth you gone need braces
Come at me with that shit, I really f*ckin hate it, uh
Cuz you just hatin', down on yoself cuz I'm pro-rated
Tryina stay up when I'm elated, but it come crashin' down like an elevator
Then I'm Darth Vader, findin' myself in the darkest layers
At the dinner table chowin' down with my demons
Chef special been all of my worst feelings
Yeah, uh
I got a Michelin star for that
But you still hollerin' cuz I ain't black
So whatchu sayin' I can't rap?
It's lookin' to me like you just in yo own trap
Because you already know
Authenticity has gone out the door
As ideology grows, said
F*ck these dumb Identity hoes
I can't keep watchin' all of these people
Be talking they lookin' feeble when lockin' up all they egos
And I, I can't keep holding all of these feelin's
They croppin' up underneath it won't stop until I release into the motion
It's croppin' up underneath and it ain't gone stop until I release
An ocean of loss, hunger, and grief
I'm watching the clock, carvin' my dream
But you still a rock, drownin' in fear
Don't dirty yo smock, keep that shit clean
Now we in the mud, and we sinkin' deep
You grab for the rope but it's just out of reach
Is it what's above, that we still seek?
Or is it just love, no rest for the meek
I know it's a lot, to live this life free but ready or not, you been blessed to live
I'm goin' to the top, you best believe, how can I love you, you can't accept me?
Everybody know you gonna get it, you gonna get it
You motivated, on the ready
You gotta let it overtake you so it's automatic
Regenerating, keep it steady, unapologetic
Deliberating, gettin' heady, with the brain static
You goin' crazy, mental fodder so erratic
Elevated but agitated a little manic
Commiseratin' witcho demons in a dark attic, and you f*ckin' had it
Everybody know you gonna get it, you gonna get it
You motivated, on the ready
You gotta let it overtake you so it's automatic
Regenerating, keep it steady, unapologetic
Deliberating, gettin' heady, with the brain static
You goin' crazy, mental fodder so erratic
Elevated but agitated a little manic
Commiseratin' witcho demons in a dark attic, and you f*ckin' had it
Because you already know
