The ILLZ - Melfi lyrics

[Verse 1] Somebody tell me what's the meaning The hunt for dough, I'm fiending I feel it like I been dreaming The hunger that I be feeding Is similar to my demons Consuming Beware of the all dooming Need for the greed, I see it, it's all looming Around the perimeter, tempers is just fuming Wishing they could give it up, I need a shot Working with what I got And believe me it's not a lot Promise to never stop Though I'm feeling just like a prop Empty and so square Feels like I'm not there I'm standing in the background, no one really cares Throughout these sad years I swear that it ain't fair I'm gone [Verse 2] And maybe I'm not there My vision in the mirror, I met with a deep stare Who am I? He that never dies Born to touch the sky With a cry I exclaimed, get me lames let em try! But they're lifeless A choice that you make could bring you a crisis They say you'll pay for it But never mention the prices A wise man told me, just listen because its like this Grow old without living if you remain indecisive So take a chance Turn your life around, change ya plans The hardest choices are the ones that really make the man And don't be hesitant to motivate and make demands Don't waste your time trying to make em understand If they never did, they never will Talking plans on the phone with Ill Lets give them something they could feel Grind harder When life is full of problems then you starve her Instead of being saddened and blaming it on your karma A chink on the armor Still remain a beast Can I please say my piece? Can somebody let me speak? Been a month since I actually enjoyed myself I'm trying to take it to the point where I enjoy my wealth Well, you know you gotta have it to enjoy it And beef it comes around no matter trying to avoid it Whenever I feel that I could win It begins Thoughts of second guessing is coming up from within Regurgitated You ever felt unappreciated? Unmotivated? So underrated? A few seconds from feeling like you made it But everyday it's harder not to hate it Back when I was younger I felt all the pressure that I was under Looking for acceptance One day it just made me wonder Forget this drama, I'm leaving it for them young ones I distanced from the haters And vowed to never become one I'm tainted I'm filled with the hunger of being famous While staring at the world, I decided I wanna change it Nobody could feel me, nobody could smell the fragrance Of greatness Like I was speaking another language It deepens All of these haters, they only praying that I weaken I hope my state of mind one day could reach them Inspire Something inside em and spark a fire I hope one day you welcome whatever your heart desires No bad wishes Recollections of my dad, listen He's telling me to take a risk, saying that's living That's giving With all you got to it My mind, it ran through it Seen it all in past visions I look up to him with this admiration He's saying live life, forget the hesitation And make decisions with little deliberation I married money and art, and made it my inspiration They told me, son when u get older You might have the world up on your shoulders But we built you to get over Just be a soldier
