[Verse 1]
South Gate's finest, not quite a legend
I wanna do things that you could never imagine
Sitting on my couch having way too many dreams
If I'm gonna play the game, I gotta pick a better team
They always say that I look like I'm pissed off
Your voice is clouding up my head, just piss off
Too much grime in this game, I think I need to rinse off
What you scared for? Take your window tints off
"David, open up more!" Okay, here I go
I'm a disrespectful monster when I let my feelings flow
Oh, you know? Man, who told you?
I just pray to God that their perspective hasn't sold you
I'm still the kid that's always putting others first
You should recognize I could've ended up worse
Funny how it goes though, funny how I changed
Everything I hate is everything that I became
Putting my hands to the constellations
Looking at the facts and ignoring allegations
Whatever they told you has gotta be a lie
Please don't shut me out, I'm still a nice guy
Never getting into trouble, never fighting with the law
Yeah I make mistakes but everybody's got a flaw
Looking through my lens, I know nothing's picture perfect
But the promise of a paradise makes the pain worth it
I'll be the best M-E, not the best MC
But the future's uncertain so I guess we'll see
I got people saying I should have a Plan B
Those are the people that could never understand me
I show love to the ones that ride with me
Those the type of people that I know are gonna die with me
All the others man, you better beware
Gotta watch your back, you better be aware
That's real
[Verse 2]
Let's all admit it, I'm defiant, don't fight it
I'm hot and you're cold, we live in different climates
Ego so large that you gotta climb it
Can you get to the top? Go ahead, I'll time it
I'm the hand that feeds you so you better not bite it
You can't live without Goliath so don't even try it
A timeless, mindless, heartless animal
So many sins I just couldn't count 'em all
Afraid of my shadow, jealous of others
Theirs never cowers under the covers
They aren't ashamed to face their own mother
They aren't an enemy to their own brother
A good kid and the world became good lovers
Found out who he was and it only took two summers
As a result of that, this is what he learned
It's hard to stay humble when the struggle burns
