[Hook]
In the studio with my eyes closed
Feeling the beat, but feel exposed
Everything i say on this track is real
You finally get an insight on how i feel
[Verse:1]
You spent so long trying to figure me out
But you never seen the picture in my doubt
Me and you together would of been great
Better late than never
I finally feel like ive made it
When ive got hennessy in my cup
And the lights flash when im faded
But when you get close up
Stare straight into my eyes
I never let anything slip
So when did i become so wise?
So i take another sip
Start making love to the night
You best start treating her right
I can see her looking across the room
And my bedsheets still smell of her perfume
She said nobody does is better
I didn't have to show no affection
Or send her a love letter
Shes so close to perfection
Even though she goes from rapper to rapper
But never lets anyone trap her
But thats what i admire
She got me so inspired
So let me take you back
To what i desired
Initiative is what you lack
So you gave me time, to rewind and take control
You even asked me how much for my soul
Listen to my laughter
We are pretty much the same
I see what i need, then chase after
I thought this was art, but its just a game
But its just the start to my pain
Thats why im telling you the truth straight up
Im zoned out in the booth, so dont wait up
Ill always put the music first
Even though it should be reversed
I guess i need to get my priorities sorted
Cause i can't climb if im unsupported
Now i feel like im on a life support machine
Eyes shut, struggling to take a breath
Did it come from the bottle or the green
Am i this close to d**h?
sh**, i shouldn't really be thinking this at such a young age
But for now im
[Hook]
[Verse:2]
Back to where i started
Back under the surface
Back to being so fainthearted
And back to being so nervous
Nothing ever works the way it should
I would live without plans, if i knew i could
If i dont stay prepared, ill never be compared
I got karma on my side
Sharing all these positive vibes
Always fighting against the tide
Turning a blind eye to these bribes
Youll never get me, where you want me
Ill never turn how you want me to be
Why do you want me to be like the others?
Im trying to set an example to my brothers
Not the blood type
The type that have been here since day one
The type that had faith when i begun
Man i got so much respect
And im glad i kept my word
And never listened to anything i ever heard
Im glad i stayed faithful
If i didn't, it probably would of been fatal
If it wasn't for them, i wouldn't of made this progress
I would be stuck in check mate
Like i just lost at chess
But i guess, its luck, fate and destiny
Now i feel complete
You found me breathlessly
When you told me i just got beat
When that day comes
Ill hang up my boots
And hush my gums
There won't be no excuse
Im aiming to be a legend
Hoping he opens the gates
When im on my way to heaven
sh**, i shouldn't really be thinking this at such a young age
But for now im
[Hook]
[Verse:3]
Let me share my dying thoughts
I wish i stayed by your side and fought
I shouldn't of let go that easily
But youve been creeping on my mind recently
Why we trying to hide?
Choosing to ignore all the signs
Be yourself, wheres your pride?
I hate to see you in those struggling times
You never ask for any a**istance
I admire your consistence
But if you carry on, youll end up six foot under
Im already there in my mind
Searching deep to find whats hiding inside
I swear im a different person on the outside
Not a single one of you, try getting your sub conscious involved
Thats why hip hop will never evolve
Thats why, im sitting alone
Getting into that zone
Where noone else can impose
This darkness keeps me enclosed
Ive never tried to escape
Is that a signal im going insane?
Talking to myself in the mirror
Trying to make the world a little more clearer
My instincts tell me, my times getting nearer
Seriously, reality check
I could hang you by your f**ing neck
Cause ive shown your the ropes
Now its downward slopes
Not sharing my knowledge anymore
Honestly, your nothing anymore
So tell your girl to get out of my head
f** it, accually i like it when shes f**ing with my head instead
I love when shes playing those games
Not mentioning names
But if you can relate
Then you gotta discuss your trust
Trust, its not my fault
Im just tryin to exalt
But now ive done with trying
Im done with the lying
If you can't be true
Then f** off with the rest that came through
Then left shortly after, i didn't give them a clue
Its my life, you don't need to know what I'm doing
All you need to know is I'm forever moving
Since those days, I've been forever improving
Now I've got those pains in my brain
I got that feeling again
Ill never lose
But whatever path you choose
Leads to the same place eventually
I wonder what song will be sung at my funeral
I wonder who will turn up to my burial
sh**, i shouldn't really be thinking this at such a young age
But for now im
[Hook]
[Verse:4]
Dont believe everything youve been told
Dont believe everything you hear
Dont even believe everything i say
Cause i stay cold, cause tears, and those games i play
Cause thats just how our minds work
Even when i cause the pain
I start to smirk
We all have those days, where we can't control ourselves
Everyone has those days, where they feel alone
You can use it to your advantage
Even when were alone we can manage
Express your hurt into an artistic creation
Then there won't be no need for any narration
Feeling the beat, but feel exposed
Feeling the beat, but feel exposed
Feeling the beat, but feel exposed
