Sylvan LaCue - At What Cost lyrics

[Verse 1] Balcony overlooking the city of Los Angeles, never felt this lovely Pacing back and forth for hours broke my peace anticipating don't let it budge me I pray they listen before they judge me Straight up I need to go on my own direction Make my own selections Retorted back it back with claims I'm turning my back on the homies who made it possible For you to have a voice who looked out with nobody stopping you Sure Sugar coated protected perception Don't want to break nobodies heart over truthful reflection I shed some guilty tears moments after Thanksgiving dinner with Benavente rolling through Seaside New adventures for this loner Bringing it in 2015 with friends and coronas Newer resolutions to feel this endless persona Meanwhile A couple interesting plots are thickenin' among you Dinos back in the base San Diego was home I guess you got some choices to choose Blankets coming off the bed you made The voice isnt true They get to talkin' like you finished got some points you can prove But lose when you set the record straight Drunkin' nights in Studio City with Chip the Ripper But f** am I really I broke it off with Ca**andra sh** was getting to silly My muse from Oakland's been growing impatient We've been at it for months Too busy acting my rapper fantasies in a bunch I started making rounds to Northern Cal this sh** is wild Oakland International L.I.G attire construction Timberland boots, couldn't tell me I wasn't fashionable Damn Not to long ago when i was on board Snap-backs, Jordan's, and chains became the highest oh lord Hoping Logics fans will like me on tour Searching Sylvan dropped and all I got was theories On how the industry moves and advice I never asked for A couple pointless meetings that fizzled with n***as [?] on the fence C step Talkin sh** that I swore I would never forget Now them shoulders is feeling stretched A couple rappers friends just stopped returning them texts He spoke to Skizzy since I wrote down and asked for a check I just thought it was all respect But you know Shout out to mickey too Thought we was brothers but ego just made this sh** defuse Its funny when your mentors end up getting it misconstrue Was once with the thought of feeling accepted So breakdowns made me face the fear of rejection Some prophecies I projected have manifested I was only trying to mesh wit' Legends who sought the throne but my guess is that these times are changing I should get with the shift Made it back to Miami with grace Just in time to escape Whats Hollywood and [?] trapped inside this Quest persona Too many expectations threatening Yoda Where does it end Sleepless nights [?] with my face in the mirror Mommas words of wisdom helping me seein' it clearer Nothing is destant better learn how to step in your full self Im guessing ive been waitin' too long Dont want to get in Gods way but hes been patient too long Down the Henny when the taste is too strong Asking questions that never mattered, distracting me from taking whats wrong Out of his misery my faith has been torn I reunited with pops Hes still usin' but the hatred is gone n***a family is family They say the key to harmony is to practice new understanding And Ive been working on communication Many broken relationships done with losing patients A new sense of leadership man the crew has been waitin' These wise ones need direction my truth is the pavement Thinking bigger then ever I got to keep it together No time to treat this whatever f** them prior engagements I chose myself and still managed to dodge humiliation The interest in reconciliation Forgiveness That chip on that n***a shoulder still present Dont think that Ive lost my hunger You gatta hear thunder to know a storm is coming For real This is Far from Familiar I came a long way from ignoring blessings Mamma in here interrupting recording sessions I used to think my mountain was to hard to climb But I just stepped up to the starting line [Outro] Well, well, well, you made it this far didn't you? Alone you stood when it was highly advised not too Through the trenches you fought The most if not all will doubt you You remember just in the nick of time God has a way of swooping right before the last finger slips off the cliff Self was found In the most unfamiliar of circumstances You now know who you are You know where your going God is still with you The benefits of your faith your shall reap When everyone question your [?] No longer ifs, nor when These notions have been tossed You are more then ready to attain everything your hear desires The question now Is At what Cost? Far From Familiar
