Being Honest Lyrics by IZeke

Being Honest

2019

If I’m being honest
I won’t make it with this music
Swear I’ll keep this promise
Won’t take for granted or abuse it
I’m a drop this knowledge
That they won’t teach you up in college
Cuz honestly, the truth can be the cause of your all problems

And honestly I hate this
Not rapping, but fakeness
Get back in line, I’m a show y’all the definition of greatness
All this hard work, ain’t paying off
But I’m still here with no applause
I’m a dig deep like a good massage
Pen and paper paste in one collage
Oh wait, I got more life in a 16, than your whole team
I’m on stage, your nose bleeds
I reap what I sow, there is no need
For fake fans, for fake love
I do what I can and sure enough
I see fruit come from my labor
I just live for now and later
Y’all are crazy stupid thinking you can hit the mic and test me
I just step up to the plate, eat all my food cuz that’s a blessing
I just give it to my father, thinking far enough ahead
Cuz I know when I die I won’t regret a single word I’ve said
Bless up, won’t test love, I get right, still mess up
I choose things and do things, when I know I’ll have to fess up
I’ve done right and I did wrong
An odd one, don’t belong
Times get hard, when I see that I’ve been in this game for so long
These cards that I’ve been dealt, make me wish I was someone else
But if you think about it clearly, you’re better being yourself
Than being people out of touch, who craving only to be felt
When honestly the truth be told, you’re just afraid that we could tell

If I’m being honest
I won’t make it with this music
Swear I’ll keep this promise
Won’t take for granted or abuse it
I’m a drop this knowledge
That they won’t teach you up in college
Cuz honestly, the truth can be the cause of your all problems

I’m gonna retire, I hate all this crap
It ain’t a career, but I’m flat on my back
As I look at my life, and it ain’t looking back
I just feel so alone as a matter of fact
I just spit all these bars and complain about rap
I guess I never gave a thought about that
But it’s hard to say nothing, cuz all of this mumblings whack
And y’all are just feeding the pack
But I gotta get back to business
When you look at my life it ain’t rags to riches
I ain’t coming up from nothing, but I gotta fix it
Bank account small, but I’m adding digits
I just gotta go solo
Do it independent, never signing on the low though
Won’t say the name, you can read it on my logo
One day you’ll even ask if I can sign it on your photo

If I'm being honest
