Lavish Apogee - Excel lyrics

[Verse 1] The hell I'm gone to be Moms stay telling me I got to succeed say she see the potential in me What good is potential when nobody else respects it? Night after night, writing down my f**ing message Trying to write the pain away, I bleed through the pen Regrets, empathy, and perseverance I speak it the way I feel nobody else do I tell you about the life I live, and the life I want to I'm 14, but my sh** ain't for teens Doing d**, living reckless, writing about the wrong things I speak for people overall following their dreams Never letting anything, absurd intervene so [Bridge x2] You tell me you trying to prosper or fail Truthfully I got goals, I ain't trying to be in jail [Verse 2] Uh, ain't trying to be in jail Man, I'd rather excel Lost soul, but I never lost hope Hanging off a ledge, conscience urging me to let go But I know that I can cope, till I'm no longer broke And moms no longer independent, hustling on her own, yo! A n***a got to make it Spit this hot sh** if you know just what I'm saying Seem like everybody got something to say Why can't they respect a kid trying to enlighten his fate? I guess they just won't dig me till I make it To freeload and then tell people they know someone who's famous But I got a list of people full of sh** Then be the people I'll certainly be cutting ties with Doing me ain't trying to work for the man Check my rhyme book, n***a it specifies who I am They laughed when I said I had the world's antidote But I'll never stop, something like a repeating decimal [Bridge x2] [Outro] I ain't trying to be in jail Man I'd rather excel
