What It Seems Video (MV)

It Always takes a certain type of man
To figure out who he wants to be
And although it may not be evident to the path before him
The lefts and rights, the twists and turns
Through introspection, it all contributes to who this man becomes

Okay I'm finding out life ain't always what it seems
Lookin' deep within myself finding shit I never seen
People give up on they dreams just cus they dont have the means
Then they settle for some bullshit and some shitty self esteem
See I gave up on myself but never on my dreams
I be actin like it's perfect but its not all what it seems
See my grandma was a fiend that dont mean she ain't no queen
All these hand me down hobbies made uncles the same thing

Okay we livin' in the fantasy but we all got a dream
For a dream to be reality we all gotta scheme
Makin' life look like paradise but it ain't what it seems
Deep down everybody know exactly what I mean
See players with the paper ballin' like they in the league
Got money for what they need but for the fame do anything
They be greedy for the glory could give a f*ck about they team
They'll switch up on they brother just so they can get a ring
Now loyalty is relative sayin' they got hell of it
You give a f*ck bout loyalty?
Explain why yours celibate
Defined by yo actions not yo words and how you tellin' it
Deceit all in your aura ain't gotta tell me but I'm smellin' it
They say they on my level and I believe 'em
Hardly
I'm the wake up that they need and I'm a give it to 'em harshly
Flow sweeter than Barley makin' bars out of Bacardi
I been grindin'' like Jamaicans at a dance hall party
That's cus

I'm finding out life ain't always what it seems
I'm lookin' deep within myself finding shit I never seen
People give up on they dreams just cus they dont have the means
Then they settle for some bullshit and some shitty self esteem
See my grandma was a fiend
That don't mean she ain't no queen
All these hand me down hobbies made uncles the same thing
We may never know who followin' the legacy we leave
See my mama loved herself and by herself she raised a king

Look word is bond on my balls so every verse I spit is sacred
It's therapy in these rhymes, I give myself the medication
Never met my sperm donor so that peace of me is vacant
F*ckin' hoes and filing voids tryna make my life adjacent
I put it on my soul it's not a day I get complacent
G. OH. D how I'm feelin' my aura won't let me fake it
Let go of all the people who always showin' me hatred
But I love to see they faces once they figure out I made it
Countless days of depression, constantly losin' my hope
See laughter behind my back but to my face can't tell a joke
See family, the loved ones, all my friends I need the most
The ones who always show support
I'm indebted to my folks
In all of my darkest times the times I needed some help
They gave me that reassurance so I could situate my health
But in them times I'm on my own when I had nobody else
I needed something to believe in so I believed in myself

I'm finding out life ain't always what it seems
I looked deep within myself found shit I never seen
People gave up on they dreams just cus they dont have the means
Then they settle for some bullshit and some shitty self esteem
We may never know who followin' the legacy we leave
See my mama loved herself and by herself she raised a king
See I gave up on myself but never gave up on my dreams
I be actin like it's perfect but its not all what it seems
