Chorus: Why's this always happen, ay yo, looking in the future still feeling smothered Rappers always acting, day after day, one time after another Life has got me trapped in, I can't jump these hurdles I'm stuck in the circle, but I'm a be the last one laughing It kind of makes me wonder, like damn, what happened to my people What happened to commitment dropping sequel after sequel Was I the only one that wanted to finish what we started Was I the only one that had the guts to work the hardest I guess so, cause you ain't nowhere to be found Hey yo, my left blow could make an mc hit the ground I'm in erect mode, whenever rhyming must occur You prefer to take the path, do the math it won't add up Won't take the ladder, combining data, mind over matter Ain't really caring what ya do my gla** will never shatter My pockets ain't no fatter from yesterday But at least I got paid dues all over my resume What, you don't pay dues you don't move And ah, What, don't wanna lose you conclude, but ah I ain't the one to point my fingers at the man If the man can't hold his own, drop the microphone Now what you think Chorus So why is life a trip, taking turns sharp like a razor blade Avoiding people holding back like it was laser tag Feeling trapped like I'm stuck in this obstacle People saying think straight but kid I can't think logical Now what, what I'm supposed to do to switch this Used to be about the money not the business But times change so I modify the tactics Update the flow but still commit lyrical backflips The gymnastic, master of the ceremony While others coming phony I'll be off can't control me So get a hold of me, let me know what's on your mind I'm calling from your ladies house, star sixty-nine I ain't lying ask her what was her response Did she say anything about activity on the lawn Probably not cause your girl don't kiss and tell Missing action, should have kept the mic, now who's laughing, me Chorus Ah yo, my third verse, last topic of discussion No introduction, but got you focused with no interruptions Up to nothing, the way I won't commit this Admit it, you did it, acquitted, forget it, yo I'm like the conscience that watches the steps you take I'm like the teacher in this game that makes it levitate Now I can hold my weight, so name another Never once dropped my head and ran for cover Or shelter, I melt ya, with flows I connect with Respected, injected, mc's be infected With disease, so I breeze by without a doubt The illest coming out, what you think I talk about, what Chorus
