I'm from a little place, where n***as stuck up in a race
Catch more than a civil case, tryna fill they dinner plates
My homie facin ten in state, stood tall, didn't break
Stay 100 on the track, crazy what the penn relays
It's hard to listen to these rapper's that I'm better than
Never diss, I'm aimin' at the doorman who let 'em in
Throw-away society where greats become irrelevant
I stood for the art-form, grew with it's appendages
Sacrificing for the chances that we never get
Built this from the inside, later, the embellishment
I hope my n***as get them a pickup to put the presidents
Solid, gon be stuck at the bottom, if we start settlin
And that's a place, that I pray that'll never go
I know n***as these days that age but they never grow
I knew then, that I'd rather stack money, than e-lope
I ain't scared to be alone, I'm afraid of bein' broke..
Lotta people that dream, little leave on a whim
Yea they rap but they scared, I'm not competing with them
We know all about sudden d**h, so we go for it
And we ain't hoes, don't expect them open doors for us
I didn't need that, only count on a keypad
It's kinda sad seein blacks front for greenbacks
Young cats pushin that gla** until the screen cracks
See the good in saving the world, but can I mean that?
A homie lose sight of what he 'posed do...
Can't help a muhfka, who don't appreciate they own two
Be vocal, you control the life that you in
Must be inked in they skin, they love the pain that they go through
When I get a bad hand, i'm back to dealing with it
I treat life as a gamble, and I'm still addicted
And the game gettin soft, so un-real it sickens
n***as walking on pins and needles cause the feelings missin'
Oh you scared to be ya muhf**in self right?
You can't hate me if you don't know what you yaself likes
Bandwagon fans, following the tailpipes
Livin through these movies musta, Misconstrued the reel life
I laugh at rappers who think highly of they weak dribbles
Cause co*kiness doesn't mean that you believe in you
n***as rather hold themselves back to seem official
Learned, it ain't worth to share a word on every single issue
That's why I mentally, ignore the sh** that's tempting me
When everything is adding up, we don't think negativity
Smarten up bruh, I pray you get your epiphany
And learn that every gem that's dropped isn't at tiffany's
Yea my life ain't perfect, but it's more together
Every morning's better as long as I put forth the effort
I don't know how many pages in this book
But from the front to the back will lie the greatest story ever
I'll make sure of it
Vainglorious
