lyrics

it's like I forgot what this shit was for
before the promises of tours and
vinyl in the stores from being a literary whore
I left retail to sell myself with more detail
how silly is that?
my Pops said it was silly to rap
used to find my notebooks in the trash, so you know we had to scrap
I had math notes in the front but, rhymes in the back
I guess I was off track...
been unemployed for a minute
so when niggas like "you doing it!!!"
i'm like my cash flow, mad slow
yeah, I ruin it
cause hype kills....how can I sice myself?
when this little bit of wealth won't suffice for self
wishing sometimes, these rhymes would write themselves
and struggling to find words that'll strike your nerve
and living from mic check to check...
cause all I got is my life....full of memories and retrospect
but uh...

every line we shine
you gotta keep it moving like a step at a time....
these niggas out here pressing rewind?
you must be out ya mind...

...I be going to war with my morals cause I want it in the plurals
never one of them, more like three of those
but too cautious to go all in
so I'm caught in between my self-esteem
and my dreams...
...like we ain't on the same team
sometimes I be chillin in my room
ain't fuckin wit the scene
just ain't feelin the style....
niggas ain't concerned with fabric
its all about how it seams/seems
the art of perception and deception
was born a rap fiend
so I bought into that gangsta shit when I was a teen
Had to buy myself back
Realized that rap was more than a marketing ploy
Its all up in our jeans/genes like cotton
Or cotton money that we made but never seen...
...you see the difference in our schemes
Is you callin em ignorant, I tell em that they kings
tryna show em what's in front of em
that...they never seen nahmean??!

Woke up Saturday morn
Dunno what was on my mind last night, but I had to perform
Blank stares with a stomach full of alcoholic beverage
Tryna lift poverty, my lyrics be my leverage
Hip-hop is like my reverend...that tell me keep stepping
But I pass my own plate for the collection
Saving what I'm earning
Learning what I'm earning
Tryna pen another Dirty Church sermon
This that NIG version
Determined....
Need a better job for a better pay
Bank account catch a comma, shit I gotta celebrate
Real rap, same ole struggle...shit is everyday like a heather grey
These...words are mine
Got a wealth of experience in my lifetime
Hard to break that shit down into a rhyme
That's why it's my job
If ima be right here in the right now
Ain't no damn way I can slow down
