[Intro]
Can I take a second?
To speak to you through me
Cause I would love for you
To speak to me through yourself
But that's what we gotta do
Release it
Now
[Verse 1]
Give me a second and let me vent a little
I promise I won't get mushy or sentimental
I know this ride is temporary like I was in a rental
Any resemblence to your life is just coincidental
A real person will I be the true one?
Grey hairs keep coming, everyday I spot and new one
See when I was younger I was bad and wild
Now that I'm older I kinda wish I woulda had a child
I gotta be strong for others when they having trials
So even when I'm feeling low, depressed or sad I smile
And I ain't giving up so cancel that
Used to only talk to myself but now I answer back
Peep the game on how the devil do
He try to get you for all your spiritual revenue
Pushing you to be misguided and misdirected
New problems popping up just like an instant message
[Hook]
Release it, let it go, it ain't good to hold it in [x3]
Confession is medicine for the soul my friend
[Verse 2]
Let's take a journey through my mental maze, I'm the guide
One time I quit rapping and started working nine to five
Satisfied with being broke no longer 'bout my wealth
Started to question who I was began to doubt myself
Reduced the mediocrity so I drew the conclusion
That doing music was a true convoluted illusion
The foolish thought my gift was useless seems stupid but proven
Failure to try to learn the truth is the root of confusion
A voice spoke to me in anger asking, "What you doing?"
You should be moving towards your goal, how come you not pursuing?
You supposed to mash, fight the past, hustle like yo dad
Get off ya a** and do it fast' I said alright my bad
I started mashing hard and turning back was never mentioned
Been self-controlled and independent ever since then
My dream I was wasting it cause I was scared of chasing it
Having fear ain't the problem the problem's never facing it
[Hook x2]
[Verse 3]
My woman curses me deservingly
Which discourages and worries me because we're not communicating verbally
And even though she means the world to me
It now nervously occurs to me that she currently might not be the girl for me
Am I flawed in my actions? Obviously
I know my own philosophy is filled with double standards and hypocrisy
But despite this dichotomy I strive to be
Real with those who real with me, and try to be the best person that I can be
My greatest quality is self-motivation
I'm the product of the wildest streets and that's the side of me I show the nation
I seen it all I've been defenseless, afraid
But at a early age I grew out of my sensitive stage
Now I'm grown and I'm still standing strong nothing's scaring me
If you gotta cry, go ahead and cry tears are therapy
I promise whatever you going through will be done in time
Keeping it in ain't never good, say what's on your mind
[Hook x2]
