[verse] My tears have written happy melodies I've got good and bad memories I know bad happens to good people too And everybody got good in them too I got crimson eyes, like I drank St. Ides Looking into my eyes, realize how time flies Life was never planned out this way It was hard but where there's will there's a way I've died a thousand times I'm a ghost But the Rolls Royce truck finna be a Ghost No Casper, I don't cap Niggas ain't even rap But quick to take credit anyday The rapper cars is purchased on credit anyway And them brands is replicas I learned wordplay from Lil Wayne I ever get pulled over with a gun I call Jonny Cochran Gotta beat the case like I did my depression And I did that with no medication I don't blame nobody who's on meds I just want people to wake up from their beds I lost a lot niggas to drugs But even I'm addicted to hugs Something gotta hold on to me Got a feeling I'm never letting go, she loves me And her actions back it up And I just hope we both never give up The love's old fashioned enough to last forever And modern enough to survive the times til forever And I just hope we get it right this time Kids turned out fine even after last time Time don't heal, just keeping it real But in time you get used to what you feel Acceptance a better drug than a Xan' But Expectation gets you higher man And while I was off deez I came to a realization Nothing is worth it without passion I oppressed my feelings for way too long Just to end up with all of it in a song Rocky days I even started listening to Rakeem January 28, I grew up on Kiernan Forbes I still have dreams of being on the cover of Forbes Everybody claiming king but nobody wearing robes Life's a trip hold on to the rope These niggas is my sons I can show you the ropes Niggas fell off due to high hopes Expectations, people got high off of those In public Dripped down to my toes And paparazzi want a pose So used to it, life's full of posers And me, I could never be your entertainment I could never rap for entertainment I got the gram just for the memes My life, I hardly show you how I'm living My circle small but the Pi is still 3.14 So I still divide it by my niggas but know who it's going to I know who's taking more than they need to I don't mind being a clutch to my people I was slept on cause I wasn't always confident Messed around and got too confident Now they feeling a nigga When I was short they never thought I'd get bigger I'm 6 feet tall, blood type O, I'm special Niggas just act like they are, sounding like so and so I don't like most of these rappers I'm more inspired by these young trappers Whether they got the gift or not Because they just tryna get their bread while it's still hot And they just honest, maybe a little too much I know niggas who talk too much Can't tell the difference between them and these girls You gotta put a skirt on, you gossip And you only tell the truth when you sip sumn All my favorite rappers acknowledge their greatness Life's way too short to be modest I'm still the same boy who wrote a rhyme every night since 8 Overtime it became more demanding of me I write down all my wrongs and stay unapologetic for being me I know that's the reason niggas hate me Same reason my girl loves me Cause I can't tell a lie even when my life's on the line I'mma die on my feet before I live on my knees They said I dream too big I said, "oh please" I'mma holler at them when I'm driving the Lamb' Getting oil money like the Lamb' halaal And love me now when I'm still like this You think I'm not humble you ain't seen nothing Expectations wear off and rappers fall off Hype dies out and niggas back to looking for a day job I got talent for infinity dawg Put me on a stage with your top 5 I swear I'mma out rap at least 3 of them If I'm top 2 in sumn I do best believe I'm not number 2 That's why I could never be a rapper Imagine coming second to a nigga who don't have a better album than you They say it's sales this, when niggas buying their own albums They check the trophies given by those who don't rap I wouldn't be here if I cared about opinions dawg I wouldn't be king if I ever believed anybody better than me dawg I wouldn't be who I am if I waited for validation Cause you get to a point where if you know you know And I just think I'm in love with who I'm becoming Always stayed solid even when niggas gassed me up Kept it 10 times my birthday since I was 10 And it all pays off Couldn't picture this me when I was tripping over girls that I wasn't cool enough for But it feels good to say they not the one for me nigga And to all those that looked down to me nigga It feels good to say I can see above their heads now And I'd like to end it by saying Amen God is good and he stays blessing me I've lost a lot cause I wasn't mature enough to value them And everything happened for a reason Even when people changed with the seasons Look how far I done came now Got the only girl I'll ever need Friends that I call my brothers and sisters Its a family thing when we get too close I called you fake and you froze Drake prayed and the fakes got exposed And I'd just like to thank the Lord
