A Poet’s Outlook Lyrics by Cee Major

[Verse 1: Cee Major]
Let me take a second as I proceed
Penny for the funerals eat these rappers from the proceeds
I been on the jungle in the east side mostly
Tryna turn to a mogul from a Mowgli
Oh please, oh Jeez, grew up 'round young crooks and them OG's
Drug-pushers and coke fiends
Still managed to keep my nose clean wit' it
Say if I stick to the grind, I could go clean wit' it
I'm, tryna be bigger than Krit, did it on my J's I'm Cole
Meaning I'm a killer on my own beats
Stand on my own on my own feet
Made my pockets my wallet and then my soul bleed
These man are too nosy
Heading back to uni got a fella moving low-key
Now I'm on the pitch they wanna know me
But I was just a headache when I was up in the nosebleeds
I love my family, I love my people
Though I never love too much, love's deceitful
Though I never love too much, what does that money lead to?
Get it then you spend it then what does that leave you?
I spend my money on clean hearths and good food
And I got a phone full of memories I could look through
Only speak to certain people when there's a funeral
How they say no news is good news?
I was down and had nobody to look to
Then the man in the mirror said 'look where this passion already took you'
'Cause I remember back
The worst situations gave the most inspiration I've ever had
What I've got in this pen and pad
Souvenirs that I took from my journey to hell and back
These scars that I carry are enough of a metal b, I came through the worst as a better man
Uh-uh
[Chorus: Cee Major]
It's like the way that I been writing it's like I hate being happy
It hurts to see me smile, I see them take from me gladly
And I been running through the motions, see that pain and it grabs me
It's like I hate being happy
It's like the way that I been writing it's like I hate being happy
It hurts to see me smile, I see them take from me gladly
And I been running through the motions, see that pain and it grabs me
It's like I hate being happy
[Verse 2: Cee Major]
Yeah I did it on my own
Still catch me zinging through the East with my woes
Bass in my voice as I lower the tone
I write pain, no choices is all that I know, so what you know 'bout it?
My sis born and I couldn't write a verse, the other died and I coulda wrote a whole album
Been through hell and there's no doubting
Probably the reason for the fire that flow out him
Really been in the hood and with no outings
Tryna get it in just to stroll out it
I ain't staying on the block, that's blocking myself, stay posted so they could forget 'bout my death after they post 'bout it
Madness, cameras flash as the fam just pose 'round him
And the enemies gloat 'round him
And they wanna wonder why I stay close 'round 'em
Uh-uh
[Chorus: Cee Major]
It's like the way that I been writing it's like I hate being happy
It hurts to see me smile, I see them take from me gladly
And I been running through the motions, see that pain and it grabs me
It's like I hate being happy
It's like the way that I been writing it's like I hate being happy
It hurts to see me smile, I see them take from me gladly
And I been running through the motions, see that pain and it grabs me
It's like I hate being happy
