I get nervous when I hear this sh**.. Cuz it's like..how you all gon relate to it If this is everything I wished for Why didn't I fall in the hype? Despite all the things I been through The first thing I live for is holding a mic Now, what you think that life is like? I'm wondering the wasteland I'm strolling hand in hand with an oversized can of Krylon Bygones seem to pile on Friends turn enemies They drowning in the sea of my memory I paid toll to the ferryman Told him..don't let them cross my path again Or they'll be dead men Lifeless as words ease the breath out they chest I hope that “S” stays for Super, Clark Kent These n***as is grindin' for quality time and bu*ton up that shirt and tie Get that 9 to 5 then Punch the clock But before you say goodbye to the office Think about your purpose and if you did your portion They take sh** for granted, but not you We learn the present is the present Every day's a gift Catch my drift like a surfboard If I can dream I can wish..these waves is nothing It's just a set back 2x Who's to say you won't change When you sacrifice everything for what you want Seeing how it's crunchtime When push comes to shove My real n***as show me love And then some/what... My second verse is worse My worth, predetermined since birth Candles lite at birthdays was the worst days Pretended not to be broke Exterminate roach before church.. That's far from a Biggie verse I fantasized about rhyming with diamonds and folk They couldn't see what I was writing Under my notes. Concealed dreams When the goal was to raise my self-esteem Ever since I been focused like laser beams Help me concentrate..can't relate I sat back and watched you base an attack on yourself from the inside-out Cuz only camels can a drought my n***a No diggity, no doubt Black Bach, get your keys This is symphony of survival The revival of the true MC Queens born. Needless to say more Homage that's a promise Imma manage that torch 2x Who's to say you won't change When you sacrifice everything for what you want Seeing how it's crunchtime When push comes to shove My real n***as show me love And then some/what... You can't manipulate an aging book Just cuz the backbone exposed And the pages look worn The ink began to fade The warning says, ‘don't restore' But you try anyway Of course it's a waste but who's to blame On a date with destiny to change my fate When I retire, I'll inspire spires to count my prior Endeavors.. Where's the Ledger? Grab me a Heath and Baby Ruth Take a seat homie All they feed is dirt on planet earth These jerks is turf for my cleats While they watching for the bleachers… Nosebleeds. Gushing like Euphrates Phase me? I'll advance a couple paces baby Hidden demons..what's the meaning? When everything's on the table Whats the point in keeping secrets? Or obeying trends look how this begins I guess where we left off That's it The End 2x Who's to say you won't change When you sacrifice everything for what you want Seeing how it's crunchtime When push comes to shove My real n***as show me love And then some/what...
