[VERSE] They love to taste the blood, and I know what that means But to you that don't mean sh** Maybe I ain't as hungry as it seems Thinking like maybe I could live it if I dream it Yo Nino finally made a good record Yeah right, that sh** don't even sound convincing The last time I felt as sick, contradictive and weak Was the last time I wrote a rhyme to a beat Get real they tell me If only they knew that I'm as real as it gets So you could stop acting like a silly b**h And either admire what I do or not, it doesn't matter whether I'm hated or I'm rated next, listen when I say this I'm a major threat, its funny those that's getting more is saying less But hold up wait a sec that sh**'s about to change I used to Aced the test and wished somebody gave a F I used to pray to d**h, my buzz was the hottest Used to rap for just dollars, now I do it for that plus solace Now, you don't have to acknowledge, my music's for pa**ive guidance It's no fad, if I say "gat" you a**ume I'm FOR acting violent Don't, no, don't jump the gun, or rather jump when I say gun I been poisoned by these traps laid in the slums I been snaked, many occasions, tuned to Satan's subtle hum Belly aching while I'm shaking steady scraping for some crumbs So, who am I? Ummm… Just a nobody, tryna find myself, while my minds still confined some Stuck in a place where I'm maligned by these critic pricks That make it they business tryna define what my image is Tryna see me impuissant So why entertain'em? It f**ing k**s them that I'm in a state of impudence
So listen quick, I'm conquering my weaknesses And like snitches watching lebron, you are all witnesses I admit it, I couldn't confront the wickedness Steered fate, tried it all, figured out some differences Used to hear Drake, and part of me, with hate, some part appalled But he was more connected with his artistry, and I was lost See I'm admitting, my highest flaw No matter who reaches the highest floor, if they true to themselves, now I Applaud Used to be where you at now dog, then I evolved You ain't happy where you are in life, start grinding more I know all the excuses, being dope is useless The rap game's whack, money promotes music The young kids is twisted, my sh** they don't catch it I don't f** with hipsters, or make songs for b**hes The real, you dismiss it, you submissive to ya subconscious I ain't with them tid bits or warped into others f**in gossip From the bottom, (so I) provide for these streets Reality, I am the Chomsky of ebonical speech It's clarity, mixed with insanity, is that the balance? I practice channeling both sides it's a life long task, and that's apparent Whoa, surviving this famine, how nice Uncle Sam handing me these infested with parasites salmon I'm learning how to eat right, was alive but couldn't breathe right See you think that it's dark, but truth is you don't wanna see light YOU got it wrong from jump if you asking who you should be like Just live it, and don't repeat the cycle let it gooo now
