[Verse 1]
I'm just tryna stay afloat, on all these rhymes that I wrote
On my mind, then they go on a beat in a flow
And I know that its cold that I would sell my soul
Just to get a deal, gold, or a house. I was told
That this --- wasn't easy, I never did believe, see?
Look at me, struggling to sell a f**in' CD
Believe me, I've only been here for a minute
But every second pa**ing, I can feel my chance slippin
I ain't -- trying to be, f**in' 23, running these
Spelling bees on a beat. As of late, it just seems
Like my f**in' shot is now and I gotta take it
But my clip is empty-- theres not a shot to make. Its
Discouraging seeing evil people start to blow up
Hold up, they just started, guess what, sure nuff
They're making crowds scream, with their hands in the air
Then they get all types of praise and they don't even care
[Hook]
I just can't believe all this braggidocious rap sh**
I'm not trying to preach, but what the f** happened?
I'm just tryna' get my own, get my mom a better home
Get myself a studio and get myself up on the throne
[Verse 2]
Now I'm climbing up the ladder, but I start to get madder
When I see im gaining fans but I'm losing them faster
And the truth of the matter, is that I start to rap sadder
Cause I feel like thats the only thing I offer as a rapper
People getting props, while I'm pulling all the stops
But I feel undercutted 'cause I'm workin at this lots
And it feels like I'm lost, but that is only because
I can't write normal bars or crate a normal song
I'm being called a gimmick, cause theres no one that I mimic
And the people on my friendlist are my biggest f**in' critics
If I WAS realistic, I'd realize its a lost cause
But I'm not, so I'm f**in' here for the long haul
If you ever doubted me, behind a keyboard, cowardly
I'm happily doing me and some enjoy me rapping these
Actually, my doubt is the reason i get worked up
At first I thought a curse, but this sh** is just some dumb luck
[Hook]
I just can't believe all this braggidocious rap sh**
I'm not trying to preach, but what the f** happened?
I'm just tryna' get my own, get my mom a better home
Get myself a studio and get myself up on the throne
