[refrain]
Yeah, look
What would this life be like, if I didn't find the mic?
When I'm feeling lost I start to shine so they can find the light
I'm waiting patiently for the moment when my time is right
Always trying to play the hero looking for some crime to fight
When it's bad, it's bad. But when it's good, it's great
Got them hooked to the line like they took the bait
And I remember days I couldn't even turn the page
I was pent up with rage, I was stuck in my ways
Writing wasn't a habit, it never stuck with me
But things change I got notebooks to keep me company
I took control of my life, I filed for custody
And now I'm searching for better things yeah than luxury
Luxury's hard to attain, I'm never working in vain
I'm going straight on the road and never switching no lanes
I'm leaving that past behind, I'm ditching the hurt and pain
And I do it for those who need it, my purpose never changed
[refrain]
Do it for my hometown, they raised me so I'm grown
No-one showed me how to think and speak so I made my own style
Back to reality yeah I'm putting the phone down
Forever raising my voice, I refuse to tone down
Like a touchdown in the end zone now
That's my end goal so I'm 'bout to go wild
They be looking at me funny like I'm not the man
I'm precise with every move, you know I got the plan
And I'm executing, it's a revolution
I'm rewriting my life it's ending with a new conclusion
I'm breaking the rules, and I'm playing the game
And I'm never gon' change, yeah I'm staying the same
And I done hung with crooks, but I ain't like the look
Some of them got booked, some their life was took
Others lost their drive, they got their licence took
So I went another way to see another day
[refrain]
