[Intro]
This sh**'s not a movie
[Verse 1]
I've been doing this since birth, since I was a fetus
Mind-f**ing the Earth with the purpose of a genius
Visions I'm believing, so dreams ain't never leaving
I need a Jesus piece just for something to believe in
The preachers keep on preaching, the teachers keep on teaching
Too deep in the deep end, I'll probably never reach it
So I watch from the bleachers at beaches when the night is decent
Contemplate my life, the time is right to see my reasons
Letting life pa** fast like the last seasons
Drowning in sins cause I'm weighed down by demons
Strap on my Js, these dreams is getting chased
Reaching for stars with shades, the sun in my face
Steel chains on my waist weigh the boulders of the Earth
The weight on these shoulders is what makes the wait worth
But wait, is it worth my soul body and mind? Fine
If it's gold you hope to find, then go to the blind
And ask the deaf about the voice of the kind
And they say hate is where the home is
Go tell that to the homeless
[Verse 2]
I used to pray my life would move a little faster
Used to daydream about girls chasing after Asian rapper
If i could be heard, just to get the words out
My life was on focus but now that sh** is blurred out
Shallow cause I swam in the deep
Writing on beats, fly cause of the sides of my sneaks
Chi-City, eyes on the tracks and the beats
Chi-City, eyes on my back when I sleep
Keep a piece when I head home
Cause they jumped my man for some f**ing headphones
Ironic that he blasting that street sh**
That rob steal and cheat sh**
Got his feet halfway in the mud like some cleats, sh**
They exterminate, let this sh** permeate
So I can stay in a permanent place
f** what these other cats say
I'm running treadmills in this rat race
And my punchlines are cheap shots
So don't get it twisted, cause I keep knots
The Jeep got deep knocks, pumping like Reeboks
She nods when I show her the golly gee gosh
I put the gold in the gun
For every soul I front
Emcees crawling out every hole in the slums
And you gotta shine bright to be a star
So I'm sitting lonely nights at the bar
People hate cause they see who they really are
This rap sh** been pretty decent pretty far
Helps me see who decent and who just reaching from afar
So until the day that we on
f** everything and f** everyone
[Outro]

Wrapping up OXTAPE
You know, when I came here I had nothing
My mom had nothing
My dad had nothing
My brother had nothing
We were sleeping head to feet, head to feet, head to feet
But I'm about to go from fresh off the boat to fresh off the jet
I got this sh** figured
