Will my rise be meteoric
Or microscopic
I don't rap about ice and watches
Recycled topics
Enslaved to these platforms
That ain't metaphoric
Or hyperbolic
They incentivize unoriginality
And I don't like to copy
Like what's the new trend
Just mimic that
And you'll grow 10x
Now it's cool to sound like someone else
I came to break the syntax
Guess women is the new men
It's crystal clear as Windex
The world flipped inside out
And it's so motherf*cking embarrassing
Damn cuz, you trippin'
Talking bout passion
You been rapping for years, man
Leave that mess alone
That rap don't pay nobody
You know how it is
You got your kids to take care of
You can do that with no rap game, man
You got a nice job
Nice career
You doing things right man
Stick with that
You got retirement ahead of you
And all you talking bout is rapping
Man, leave that shit alone
Will I succeed or will I fail
I guess only time will tell
Feel like I'm cursed although I'm gifted
Will I ever break the spell
Head North down Southern Ave
Pass the station, then you buck a left
The first place I called home
Where my mother left me
Terrible, but to stay with her
Would've been so unhealthy
I had no choice but play the hand He dealt me
They robbed my godbrother naked
My second to oldest sister pregnant
With my first niece
We only two years separate
My whole life been on the back burner
It's amazing I ain't rebel
Like Nat Turner
And turned a menace
Learned the business
Turned them lemons into Sprite
Despite the limits that they set
I'm determined to be a stack earner
Head right pass Mississippi
Bend a left on 22nd
I should've been done left
But me and my cousin stayed
My whole second grade
It was like nine or ten of us
But wasn't enough Raid
Every night they had dinner made
And every morning they had lunch prepared
We had tokens for the bus
My cuz and I, we shared a brush
But not the one for hair
Yeah
I know that's gross
But we was oh so close
You couldn't tell we wasn't siblings
That's my heart
I love her unconditioned
I swear this shit embarrassing
Ay cuz keep pushin'
We came from the dirt
And now we at the top
Keep doing your thing, baby
I love you like my brother
I'm proud of you, baby
Nothing is embarrassing
Embarrassing is a choice
Will I succeed or will I fail
I guess only time will tell
Feel like I'm cursed although I'm gifted
Will I ever break the spell
Yeah
