EQ - The Interview II lyrics

[Verse] I remember sitting here waiting for dreams to formulate These days, my dreams'll never let me afford a break And then when you think that there's nothing left to give The game calls in, thinking there's something more to take Not the type to ever give myself a morbid fate More just your average teenager exploring fate And every time that a n***a sees a writer's block Write the f** around it, meaning grind until I write it off Sometimes that means writing till your eyelids off Fall asleep and wake up to applications by Microsoft Even though I don't always design my words perfect You can tell by the glow in their eyes they heard purpose Seems the freshman set a precedent for excellence That isn't getting recognized by those making the records Trying to measure up so you be putting yourself second Because they love a certain sound, so you're trying to take the pressure- but About to be played in the game I always dreamt of playin' I never pick a lane, I be in the center playin' However I need to for whatever instrumental playin' Trying to make a track out of what was only a mental painting Cause at one time, it was all a dream Used to joke with E.K. about hittin' the scene We could show em how to spit a little, get me a team Once I reach the one I got, I'mma go get me a dream I'mma do it all again until I get me some cream Then probably head off to the shore so I can set me a scene Cold champagne sitting right below thirty two People saying 'Damn, you're ill - and I ain't heard of you' Handin' out my tapes, I'll always have a stack of em Call my whip the trap because of music that I'm traffickin' Round all the cities that'll soon be in back of him Moving so fast that you couldn't keep track of him, naw But that's a little closer than I am Every day, I'mma get closer to my plan There ain't a freshman in the time I've been allotted That could match up with the rappin' on as many tracks as I've ran I didn't ask for the pace - I was born with it Puttin' rappers back in their place, because I'm more in it I'm talking about invest to the game Primary example of putting your chest into the game I'm not a player cause I be interested with the game And your girl is telling you that I'm incessant with the game, uh Instead, we can use the present as the verdict Done with doing things that these b**hes can misinterpret Onto something different, decisions closer to perfect Cause that's what practice is making, and making this living worth it, uh [Bridged Outro] I'm gettin' closer to my dreams, oh I'm gettin' higher and higher And I can feel it in my sleep
