[Intro]
Preach, Preacher
I'm just gon' live in my own universe because the only way- That's the only way I'll be the best, in my own world. This is my world. If I'm the main character, I gotta do main character shit. And the main character is gonna get stronger- the main character is gon' get stronger. And the main character is gonna make some iller music then what he already created. He's gonna go Super Saiyan making that iller music that he's 'bout to create. You know what I mean? So I would say, Kendrick's not better than me-- Nobody's better than me, I don't give a fuck who you are
[Verse 1]
Rapping and I wonder can I make it
Tryna get some money, fame will come but can I take it?
Expectations on me, I do better, so I break it
Feeling like a winner, where's the victory to taste it
Put on a persona how much longer can I fake it
People I don't like will leak my life and I'ma hate it
Been through controversies, this the most so can I face it
Will I still live my life in private on a daily basis?
Outlining my future, will I be able to trace it
Seen the same success before, can I copy paste it?
Wanna make an impact for the world, but can they brace it?
Intentions never clear so this time I'ma try to state it
Gonna try to live my dreams, I'm tired of just chasing
Been behind in life, I was slow when I was pacing
Competing 'gainst myself 'cause I moves past who I was racing
They taking new steps but I got new shoes that I'm lacing
[Chorus]
It's graduation and I'm standing at the top now
I'm taking over so why the fuck I'm gon' stop now?
My mind's ascended, put my city into lockdown
I moved up, used to be beside me now you've dropped down
It's graduation and my haters better watch out
Hate my success when I'm on stage, it make 'em walk out
They used to think that I'm a bitch that they could talk down
Fakes chill with my enemies, I guess they are my opps now
It's graduation, I'm the king just like LeBron now
I'm saying anything I want, my filter gone now
My homies and my ego telling me to calm down
'CauseI keep spazzing spitting heat on every song now (Yeah)
[Verse 2]
They don't know how long I've been frustrated
I been through so much shit I can't explain, it's complicated
You only got a hint through the exchanges that we've traded
Old memories and friends I used to fuck with then have faded
I was just the weird kid that they rated
They didn't give an F about my life unless it's graded
Now I'm wearing medals, they don't have some, leave 'em naked
Never felt accomplished, different now, I'm graduated
Says they seen my message but I know they didn't read it
Showing I'm the best, 'cause just before I used to tease it
Loaded with some work, don't wanna do, so then I leave it
It's changed 'cause I'm determined and my life's no longer cheated
Randoms ask for money, has their memory depleted?
They didn't try to lift me up when I felt so defeated
Saying you support me but that's not how I was treated
You ain't even bow down to the king when I was greeted
Sending shots but those aren't the bullets that you shoot
Still motivates me, gets me pumped up, tearing up the booth
I'm passing all my limits, so I fly over my roof
Never had no options, then it changed, I pick and choose
[Chorus]
It's graduation and I'm standing at the top now
I'm taking over so why the fuck I'm gon' stop now?
My mind's ascended, put my city into lockdown
I moved up, used to be beside me now you've dropped down
It's graduation and my haters better watch out
Hate my success when I'm on stage, it make 'em walk out
They used to think that I'm a bitch that they could talk down
Fakes chill with my enemies, I guess they are my opps now
It's graduation, I'm the king just like LeBron now
I'm saying anything I want, my filter gone now
My homies and my ego telling me to calm down
'CauseI keep spazzing spitting heat on every song now (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
People hate the change, they acting extra
Couldn't even stand the switch from quads into semesters
Never learnt a lesson, how they gon' deal with the lectures
I've already adapted, I can't fold under the pressure
I just learned to be myself so I can always clutch up
Put in extra work so I can even get my bucks up
Never a mistake if you learned from all yo' fuck ups
I done stop complaining, either lose life or you shut up
Thank my homies now, my homies can thank me later
They show me loyalty, when I'm rich, I'll share the paper
Classmates say we friends but they treat me like a stranger
The ones that wanna use me will turn to my biggest haters
My mind was going mental and my life was so in danger
Evil to my morals, joined the dark side like I'm Vader
I buried all those thoughts, I feel like the Undertaker
I handle all this bread so well, they think that I'm a baker
My future's on the road, 'cause my college has accepted
I guess shorty made me fear that I was gon' get rejected
Went through all that pain, now there's knowledge I've collected
If you saw me 2 years ago, you'll know my life's projected
I know my life's protected, 'cause heaven's right above it
I grinded, made some progress in a year, my close ones love it
I let go of the snakes and kept the real ones that I trusted
I killed the competition, all my rivals have been dusted
I seen money and my life go 0 to 100
If I can keep this up then I can finally say I've done it
To be on certain levels in this game, you gotta jump it
You gassed and got a distance left to go, you gotta run it
Hopes will be reality, I granted my own wishes
Promoting ain't my thing but I'ma still sell out them tickets
Fans will blast my albums, singles, tapes, and even snippets
Haters gonna scream so loud, to me It'll sound like crickets
I love proving people wrong by breaking all my limits
Happiness, family, and friends, the real riches
Only thing I'm missing is some money and a misses
Money coming soon, I'll wait for college for the bitches
This is it, M.O.E, yeah, I'm living out my life
I'm the bad guy doing good things, everything I do is nice
I was hidden in the shadows now I'm shining like a light
You live once inside this world but with an impact I live twice
And I used to be the short kid, now I'm reaching all these heights
I was at my lowest point and I looked up to see it bright
Shoutout to my homie Johnny, he said do not quit tonight
It's a mindset, not a game, so you gotta think it right
So you gotta think it right, sometimes you just gotta fight
I was done with living life until I saw my nephew's eyes
That's when I realized that life has got a bigger prize
I say money over everything but family's got no price
If I had a different mindset in the past that was precise
Maybe I could pull like every fucking shorty that I liked
But the past is the past and it's no longer in sight
I'm the captain of my ship and I'm breaking out the ice
And I'm breaking out the ice, so my ship can keep on flowing
I don't feel like fucking garbage, I'm not trash that you are throwing
I got everything I need, so my life can keep on growing
This is M.O.E, it's Syktape and the show must keep on going
[Outro]
I knew who I am, I know what world I stay in. And comparing my art- you can't. Any of these other people that's around me. 'Cause I know who the main character is in my world. I'm living as the main character in my vision, 'cause this is what I see every day
