1998 Lyrics by Nocturnal

2018

[Chorus]
Do they believe in me ?
What do they see in me?
I guess they don't agree with me
I guess they want me to go
Do they believe in me ?
What do they see in me?
I guess they don't agree with me
I guess they want me to go

[Verse 1]
Hard to make it when you always lookin for support
Think you caught a break, then you come up short
Sitting on the bench, like I'm playin sports
Feel like I'm gonna fail, Sweating through my pores
Father looks him in the face and he ask him why
Can't you enjoy ya life, why you always grind
Listen dad I gotta make it not enough to try
See I gotta leave a legacy before I die
See the hunger and the pain seeping through my eyes?
Know you never seen this side of me oh well surprise
Didn't even write this shit, (huh) memorized
OCD when I'm rehearsing it too many times
Can't even count my bars, I write too many rhymes
I apologize I'm sorry that i must complain
But failure after failure, see I'm fucken drained
But I guess that is the steps to make it in this game

[Chorus]
Do they believe in me ?
What do they see in me?
I guess they don't agree with me
I guess they want me to go
Do they believe in me ?
What do they see in me?
I guess they don't agree with me
I guess they want me to go


[Verse 2]
See I always hold the pen thats my way to cope
Living in this sin, while holding on to hope
While I'm lost at sea, can barely stay a float
Watching every emcee, (huh) taking notes
Shit if I was in their shoes I would probably choke
But I speak it to existence the word is spoke
So sit back, and I stay calm, with the napalm
Say hey mom, I'll ever stop, fuck a brake arm
But I'll break arms, to make it in this shit
Not chasing gettin rich, In this game I'll make a ditch
Way bigger then a dent, like Hova and Clark Kent
From heaven I was sent, through this music I repent (huh)
They got all the answers, but anit got no results
Don't make a bad decision like Peyton cut from the colts
Or republicans regrettin every single vote
Or a nigga in Alaska that forgets his coat

[Chorus]
Do they believe in me ?
What do they see in me?
I guess they don't agree with me
I guess they want me to go
Do they believe in me ?
What do they see in me?
I guess they don't agree with me
I guess they want me to go
