[Intro - Paul Lopez]
It's not supposed to be this hard
[J.R.]
Man i'm a renegade
Don't conform to rules
I just elevate
All the system 'tryna do is separate
People based on differences
We just gotta levitate
f** all of the delegates
I just gotta get away
Any day
They try to tie us with these bills and loans
Some people free they minds with some pills and 'tron
But i'm above it
Gotta work for everything that I own
In the studio
I write it then I vent and I moan
Up on a beat gotta rise gotta do this
Muscle up and pursue it
Roadblock i'mma move it
Gotta earn a name and prove it
Overcoming all these haters and cowards
Had to put some work in by the day and the hour
From the Howard
John in Tuscon
I'm feeling like i'm still strong
And though these days have seemed long
My legacy will live on
For generations
I'm trying to change a nation
Know i'm not the best
But I really 'gotta keep my patience
I'mma master with masterminds
To capture
The shattered minds
Of consumers consuming
All of this music
That's k**in' creative
Writers
I'm pushin' to be a fighter
For lyricism
Criticism
To open a vision of livin'
See man i'm destined to win
And plant this seed of prosperity
A legend's what my mama once conceived
Back in February '94
Yeah sometime way before
Drama and the haters
Was just steady knockin' at my door
Step in my mind
Look around
sh** is scary and all
A million things up in my head
Ain't nobody to call
Like a brawl in my brain
'tryna keep myself tamed
Somedays I find it hard
Just to keep myself sane
[Hook]
I got a million damn things on my mind
And I think about a better life all the time
Venting my frustrations man I need somewhere to go
And this music is my haven when I need some steam to blow
Got a million damn things here on my mind
And I think about a better life all the time
Venting my frustrations man I need somewhere to go
And this music is my haven when I need some steam to blow
[Tru-Barz]
Already know you feeling this
TB I be k**in' this
Never really thought about
How the f** I'm beginning this
n***as wanna end me
While I'm 'tryna make ends meet
f** it though cause I'm bout to blow
n***as know that I'm bout the dough
n***a wit the red hat where ya bread at
You ain't even ready i'm
Really bout to deady em
10 steps ahead of em
Lyrical over potency
Like a rotent wrote it hold it for the moment
Roll it smoke it
Gotta be the greatest like a lotus
Hold it
I bake bread
Shake feds, 'lotta n***as hatin'
But I gotta over come it that over bumness
Yall bestowin' upon me
Gettin' money make it big I wish I
Could magnify the world like a fish eye
sh** I, wanna best man
Always there like a best man
'tryna come up with the best plan
Damn yall n***as irradical
Did what I had to do
Show you what the better do
I'm Rollin' wit the better crew
Whoa, you ain't f**in' wit me n***a I know
I'm a lyrical n***a wherever I go
Why these n***as actin like they really don't know
[Hook]
