I've been working like a slave
Thinking like a King
Wake up every morning like I'm living in a dream
Split the hand I was dealt
Sacrifice the wealth
So much behind the scenes, could explode. Feel the heat refuse to melt
Keep it stealth
Mom worried, concerned about my health
Give everyone a piece before I take one for myself
Been imprisoned in this cell, Want anything from you but yourself
Only lift you up to put you on a shelf. Dang
Where's the love? Where is it?
Speak to women but afraid of the commitment
Can't afford distraction. I know these things all could be different
I got a purpose I'm trying to fufill it. I get it. I feel it coming
I feel the distance too
Quickly giving em advice, the same type I wouldn't listen to
Its crazy, I been feelin like a different dude
Guess that's what the Spirit do
Spilling truth. Enough about me
Found my roots so I'm tryna plant a seed
Throw shade, I'm growing leaves
Change in seasons, nobody really live what they believe in
If I wanna see change I'm starting with me. So
Should I stay? Should I go?
Will things ever change?
Should I know?
So it's told you can walk on waves
Until then I'ma stay afloat
Jay-Z:
"People look at you strange saying you changed like you worked that hard to stay the same."
Like, you're doing all this for a reason
Kanye West:
I can't afford to stay
Let me know if you feel it man
Jay-Z:
You're doing all this for a reason
Kanye West:
Let me know if you feel it man
I got more, I got more to say
I got more to say
Want music as my profession but it's hard to make progression
Been protecting every lesson. Let failure just be a lesson
They talk less of me
Put my life on lines, this very rhyme contains the rest of me
Family feeling upset they seeing less of me
Don't feel I care enough, unaware I'm showing love through work ethic increase
Father's blood pressure been getting steep
Do you know what this means to me? Can you relate?
Being driven, swear they pray that you break
Perfectionist wanna know if I got what it takes
Success ain't measured by your wage. You die, then what do you gain?
So many mistakes I wish I could collect em
Correcting a line thats been bent out of shape when the ties on the end have been severed
Walking a tight rope, a feeling you might know
Attempting to count all my blessings
What's coming next, I may never know. Take a chance I gotta go
Take a chance, man I gotta know
But I won't ever sell my soul
So many people with intentions I honestly trust none
But can't nothing wake you up like the death of loved one
So I never sleep, pray that we can see another day
Whatever it takes.Chasing like getaway, so I say
Should I stay? Should I go?
Will things ever change?
Should I know?
Do I got what it takes, if I don't
Will you love me the same or should I hope?
Jay-Z:
"They build me up to break me down and build me up again
They like Hov, we need you back so we can kill you again."
You know it's like this thing, this love/hate thing that the world has with success, period
Kanye West:
My style ain't original cuz I stole it from the future
My style ain't original cuz I stole it from the future
Guru:
I'm ready to lose my mind, but instead I use my mind
This may be the last verse you hear from me
Or the first of many
Live fast, swear a day feels like a century
Imperfections man I swear I got plenty
I can see the bigger picture I'm just tryna keep it steady
When we face uncertainty it seems we running for the answers
Is this where we should be? If it's not, Am I lost? Steering wrong?
Insecurity been spreading like a cancer
This trail of regrets you wish to forget
When all along, you run it all. And you know what we don't
A step in the dark's just a test of our heart
You control what we can't
Open doors, close 'em off
Gave your best, I don't deserve it, if it's real I know it's worth it
If I jump and I fall, I'ma land in Your hands. Give my all
Every song, bar, sentence, every decimal is yours
This is all I have left. Dreams, hope, and a breathe
Please let me speak, these words remain when I'm gone so
Should I stay? Should I go?
Will I see a change?
Let me know
Until then I'ma be myself
Lose it all then I still got wealth
