[Verse 1]
It's a select few that's affecting the ma**
All they do is act cool but their message is whack
And now, its concluded the genre is trash
Meanwhile good tunes getting drowned from the pack
And well, cause its true that there's more to this rap
Its tool that I use to express where I'm at
And get infused with the courage I lacked
Admire my hue on the spectrum of gra**
For me greens no longer the priority
I'm depressed from the thought of chasing currency
Besides lifes to short to afford to be
That's why I'm grateful for the ones that encouraged me
To realize that my self-worth is valuable
I mean may make bank but perhaps I won't
And if true happiness in an asymptote
I'll find solace the knowledge that I'm rather close
[Verse 2]
The day I'm in it for the fame is the day you should discredit me
I'm not in it for the throne or the legacy
I do this selfishly, I do it just for me
To find higher purpose and I'm not talking about a deity
You see, I do it for my mental being
I do it for the uplifting feeling
That's why cherish this generous discipline
Yield the results from the effort I'm putting in
Never thought that this would be a pa**ion, but
I'm part black so I must love rappin, right?
Albeit I'm being a bit facetious
But Jesus i never dreamed of the day I'd need this
To sit down and salvage my psyche
And work on becoming the person I might be
Cause potential is a sketch of the future
And it it'll fade away if you draw it too lightly
So write hard, life goes on regardless
Like the beat of the drum in the marches
I learned not to succumb to the darkness
Despite all the anguish and the hardships
Instead use it as fueling to prosper
I feel I still have so much to offer
And even though it feels good to be heard
Well, That's not the reason that I wrote these words
