Mando - Come to life lyrics

Losing sleep cause I'm working all spring the clock Guess that's what happens when you focused gettin to the top The Flow is elevated so I'm risin like the stock Before cla** all my problems I down them with ciroc Sharing pots when I was livin in abrego road Do whatever it takes to get me in creative mode At a party late night, white girls sniffin coke Cops circle the block, but they never do patrol I Saw em from Distance, rap I been persistent See plays in advance im the coach and the a**istant Trying to get a deal from the bars not a plea To get to this point, then you gotta pay a fee I mean, that overtime, that hard labor Trying to do it better than good, I'm far greater You rhyme later, I do now while they cool out Never give into it tho instead choose a new route Hate going to sleep just knowing that I'm being slept on That's why I k** any instrumental that I get on Reading stories from Malcom x and don Quixote Expanding my mind tho at times I find it hard to focus One time for the one time Two times blowin your mind Make dreams come to life It ain't happen overnight It's the Poet laureate, here's an image of what it's like Surrounded by my own peers, when I pic up the mic First to go to college, I'm adjusting to Campus life Weed, pills, broken bottles, and the flashing lights We pa**ing time, drinking forties, smoking Swishers Plotting on ways that we can make this money quicker Mind trippin am I livin? the poison in my veins Take a shot, take a second, now let it k** the pain Around here it's so different can forget where I came Visualizing much greater, I know I can attain Youngins pushing foreign cars, they livin Lavish Staring out at the waves, like man we gotta have it Remembering back when I thought it was Automatic Recording my first rhyme so crazy thought I had it Studying the game, giving it everything i have Just a pen and a pad, writing bars, in back of cla** Then we go outside, playing ball till the night came Soon before my homie had a daughter and her life came No more going out, you can find me in my room Writing inside my notebook, im looking at the moon It's the m a n to the d o I'm just doing me not worried bout enemigos He's dope yea we know, is what they really saying Mac eleven with the bars how I'm really spraying Never delaying the work ethic, they gonna try and hate it Do it for my folks who never graduated yes they made it Happen, and somehow I stuck to rappin Shooting feature films with the bars I was never actin And every scene they playing, I probably already seen it Learn to rise above the hate and no get caught in between it This is what they been feenin, My city what I'm reppin On the come up trying to be first when they accept second So restless, haven't slept in days listen as I lay a verse Resurrecting the real ever since my date of birth
