[Hey, miss! Who's there?] [Famous Amos] I be ballin', and ballin' I can't see the future, but what am I causin'? Affecting the numbers, I don't do no slumber I keep gettin' at it, I eat like a maggot I got some bad habits, I've made some mistakes I'm in a strait-jacket, but my soul they can't take I might not wear glasses, but I see what it takes I'm staking my claim, my claim to fame I still feel the same, running this game into the ground As these bitches surround me, uh No distractin' interactions, that's what I been on Had the feeling that maybe I was slackin' off So I'm backin' off of the chats and blogs, Snapchat and all Un-like Most people I know, living life through the lens of an iPhone Goin' viral, for awhile, in denial And that's just not my style I'm more like Eliot Ness, untouchable with every flex Non-refundable with every check Indestructible, treasury strength Every sentence, and I keep going 'til I'm out of my breath I'm tryna, make the world go away Until it's something better than what it is today But I know I gotta play a part To make some change through art I'm just afraid it's not quite the way we on So I'm going out on my own terms But will I own myself when it's all over? (So I'm going out on my own terms) Give me some padded walls, it don't feel that bad at all The more that you live life, the faster it goes (But will I own myself when it's all over?) What does it all matter for? Wonder what does it all matter for? Walkin' around with my strait-jacket on Heading to my classes, shackled in bonds Money on my mind and a little on my wrist watch All these motherfuckers busy watchin' TikToks, their brains switched off Things have been off, all I hear is chit-chat and shit talk Lately I ain't had the energy to fight my enemies In fact, the other day one befriended me, so maybe it's the end of me Seems my actions have penalties not revealed to me Or said to me until it crumbled down tremendously If Heaven be where I finally find peace Let it be before I'm decreased, that I'm deceased, so they don't feed me to the beast My anger grows like yeast in heat, infecting everyone I meet Take a seat, watch me eat alone Sittin' back, stoned at home Never had me sold on growin' old, I'm tryna own some gold robes Where they can bury my bones A different realism, that ain't so appealing is it? Let me be specific, I'm getting big Practicing nepotism for those who stuck with me, strugglin' through shit and mud We gon' cause a cataclysm of makin' big decisions in the span of seconds and minutes Don't give a damn, they all just follow religion I'm doin' something different, movin' with faith Saved by-, saved by-, saved by grace, but it don't change my rage Or the stage in God's campaign, so I just hope He waits For me to be made, before I die by the blade I just hope I'm saved, and that God waits For me to be made, before I die by the blade So I'm going out on my own terms (Give me some padded walls, it don't feel that bad at all) But will I own myself when it's all over? (The more that you live life, the faster it goes) So I'm going out on my own terms, (What does it all matter for?) But will I own myself when it's all over? (Wonder what does it all matter for?)
