The Wake Up Call (feat. APEXRŌZ) Video (MV)

My mindset on another level, I'll never settle
Songs dropping like rose petals
Records show that I'm undermined by other guys, it's no surprise
When the moon rises I come alive
Stepping out of line with my n****s is something that I do not advise
That whole's the same result as suicide
You never wonder if I choose a side
'Cause I'm riding with my brothers til the end, this shit is do or die
On the mission to leave every rapper neckless
Nothing but they shoulders, can't even put on a necklace
Restless on debates of who the best is
I put a noose around they neck and tie til they breathless
Yeah, I've grown tired of the scrutiny
Facing judgment and prejudice for just doing me
Now it's f*ck you ain't no fooling me
I feel like everybody hating on me 'cause I ain't the man I used to be (Yeah)
The man I used to be
Giving second chances to those undeserving
Really y'all just did me a service
Every time I kill a rapper now feels like tossing babies in a furnace (What?)
This shit is way too easy for me
Claudio apologies for taking so long to make this song
I just had to get my shit together, didn't know it take so long (Yeah)
But I'm tired of being tired (Tired of being tired)
And I don't plan to retire
I got way too many demons that be playing with fire
But instead of fighting back, I sit back and admire like goddamn
Goddamn
This is all a part of the plan
But if push comes to shove and I gotta sell my soul to stay afloat
I'm just praying that you understand, yeah (Praying that you understand)
I used to think I had to sell drugs to be a rapper
Hungry and homeless was an important factor
Who I was, where I'm from didn't really matter
Long as I talked about my struggle I'd be famous after
I wasn't the only one with that train of thought
Others tried to mimic fake life, fame result
Temporary persona with permanent problems
Then cower to a corner knowing they couldn't solve them
Not built for this, the shoe doesn't fit in
Do whatever it takes just to keep up the gimmick
Do whatever to make it past the 15 minutes
This life's too fast for them to keep up with it
Only gangsta reference was Scorsese flicks
Binge listening to Eminem would let me spit
Closest thing to the rapper requirement
Was losing my family in a gun firing
And scraping two pennies just to make a dollar
Growing up angry and without a father
But none of those situations tough enough
To push me on the streets and start moving drugs
But my idols talked about it in they remedies
Difference is they did it for necessity
I stay true to myself keep my integrity
Never compromise to corrupt my identity
But these rappers only want some clout
Shoot to fame so they run they mouth
Oblivious of what they talking 'bout
End up looking like a big f*cking mouse
Drugs aren't an obstacle on my path to fame
Biggest struggle on my plate is I procrastinate
'Cause when you ain't between a rock and a hard place
You can find yourself on your phone all day
With complacency, where fame looks like make-believe
Only a fairytale
I keep on saying they can doubt all they want
But once my feet hit the ground running then they will see
Everybody has a dream, yeah
But they trade it for fast money, yeah
Now it seems like a fantasy, yeah
Then they fast to call it blasphemy, yeah (Come on)
Tone of misery when talking about they current state
Countless birthdays inside of their workplace
Judging on dream chasers for wanting more
When being in their 9 to 5 wasn't the plan in the first place
Imma break through the plateau
Keeping these dreamers in the system blinded so they can't grow
But my vision is too clear, imma blast though
Through my rap flows, I keep my pants low
Judging on the f*cking way that I am though
Till they watch me fly international
Watch a tree from the seed that I plant though
I will draw the last blood like Rambo
