[Verse 1]
If I could take the time to make it all make sense
If I could just put this rage inside a chain link fence
And use all this music as a way to vent
Cause right now a wall's what my back's placed against
I'm trapped within these shackles that can't be bent
Surrounded by these jackals that ain't been fed
I f**ed up and slipped up in a rattlesnake's den
But I'm supposed to battle out and f**ing levitate then
But it's back-to-back struggle
In fact, there's no huddle
In this game; it's insane
Abstract and so fuddle
My attack's so subtle
I just cracked both knuckles
Hitting this game in the face, but hey, that's no scuffle
It's just me being me, and I'm having fun with it
They got us blind and trapped, they just want us stuck in it
But I can adapt, so nobody can f** with it
It's kinda like struggling just acts as punishment
[Hook]
Lose Yourself!
You only get one shot
Opportunity
Lifetime
Lose Yourself!
You only get one shot
Opportunity
Lifetime
[Verse 2]
I came to resurrect 2Pac and Biggie
Through this f**ing jukebox that's stocked up in me
If you think you're the greatest then you flops are kidding
It's not you ain't the sh**, you just stopped admitting
I wouldn't spit this sh** if it was not the truest
I put my life in this so it's not just music
And you think you can flow cause you've got some fluid
And you won't stop until the whole spot gets ruined
You get up to a booth then you walk into it
But I recite into a mic like I'm talking to it
Spitting like my life has been lost in sewage
Only because it has and we've all been through it
Writing about our lives till it makes us sick
Spitting the same sh** till our tapes get flipped
Hoping to get a deal and a taste of this
Instead of being broke, swimming in lakes of piss
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Put life inside a capsule; start learning from it
Or this entire rap'll take a f**ing turn and plummet
But I just wanna capture this work and summit
And some of y'all wonder how far Kirk is from it
It ain't no surprise I'll lock eyes with snipers
I'll survive a bite from a feisty viper
I'll face my demise when I die with Cypress
This life of mine, make it f**ing fly with nitrous
And I'll keep on going till my soul drops out of me
Whether I'm at home, I'm alone, or malady
I'm trying to make it out, cause I don't hold a salary
Starving for this sh**, I've grown so low in calories
My only wish now is just to have some patience
The last thing I want is to go back to Clayton's;
Working my a** off for a half a paycheck
But to have a career, you need cash or save it
It don't make no sense
Gang bang for rent
People k**ing each other over eighteen cents
Cause the got no pay rate for a bank to get
But just stay content
Don't ever break or bend
Don't confuse yourself in the latest trends
Cross some f**ing lines no matter the stakes at end
Keep being you no matter how much hate you get
Never take a loss if you can take a win!
[Hook]
