Tell 'em Reflection looking more like a deception, an inception of myself I need redemption and exemption from this hellhole Gotta save this old soul, no goal, cold stroll Down the snowy road I roll, knowing I am all but whole Five minute half-life, when I rap you laugh, right? Know my lyrics rhyme tight, but my voice it don't fit right Set me free from me, I scream until the room is spinning And I look, and now the mirror's screaming back at me Why's it always gotta be you who tells me what the f*ck to do? Pitter patter, streetlight, hit the ground running Hit the ground running, hit the ground running Why's it always gotta be me who tells me who the f*ck to be? Pitter patter, streetlight, hit the ground running Hit the ground running, hit the ground running Ah, tell 'em Benjamin's back Saturate your eardrums with the colors I pack Full spectrum experience when I jump on the track And I spit back, rebuttal every single attack And I unpack the bags and unfold the clothes And I try in vain to change house to home But there's never no rest for the weary And only heaven knows how I've been missing you dearly Severely entangled in this mess I call a brain I wonder if the second best could ever win the game A thousand hours work, watch it spiral down the drain And the proof is in the hurt, I can't wash away the stain of my past life Of the prejudice and hate, they can't relate, they can't equate The feeling of anything to losing your name Losing face for the mistakes of another On the one side the world, on the other your brother 121 plus 2, like its 1-2-3 Let the letters tumble out like the ABCs Cruisin', bump this shit in the LGV Hope the void in my chest don't get too mad at me, look Why's it always gotta be you who tells me what the f*ck to do? Pitter patter, streetlight, hit the ground running Hit the ground running, hit the ground running Why's it always gotta be me who tells me who the f*ck to be? Pitter patter, streetlight, hit the ground running Hit the ground running, hit the ground running Screaming back at me, Jack it be, but it really isn't me I see shadowy figures from my past in front of me Never thought I'd outlast those in my class I've passed them by with time and now I feel I live in grief and grime Such a crime, what a shame, those who've died I hold your names In my heart and in my brain, you'll live on, you've been ingrained Cause in us you still remain I'll remember every second, reckoned I'd get a second chance But then September came and a legend ascended directly to heaven I've lost some of my brethren and started to question If I could handle living without them and their love and affection I see my reflection as it's laughing in my face As I struggle to get over losing friends I can't replace Wish our paths had never severed, wish for steps I can't retrace I'll remember TMS, track with you, winning first place Used to ride in booster seats, now I'm carrying the wheel I said thanks for all you showed me, now I'll tell you how I feel I know how much I still miss you, and I know that this is real So who the f*ck you think you are, tryna tell me when to heal, huh? Who the f*ck are you to talk to me like i don’t know what I’m doin'? Been around the block, I know the ‘Stock, I know you’re only human I know you wanna be the one to make a lot of money But you sure ain't got the dough, so boy you lucky that you funny And you lucky that your honey keeps ya ass in check Cause when you lonely you a horny psychopathic wreck And you dunno just how you kept yourself afloat cause you a wreck You gotta work to earn a check to pay for shit you can't protect You gotta pay protection fee cause freedom doesn’t come for free And safety isn't guarantee, protection isn’t liberty And why you always negative about yourself I mean? I know you feelin' shitty but your record's pretty clean You always actin' like you gotta take the world by the balls But a handshake should do man, just start your shit small Why's it always gotta be you who tells me what the f*ck to do? Pitter patter, streetlight, hit the ground running Hit the ground running, hit the ground running Why's it always gotta be me who tells me who the f*ck to be? Pitter patter, streetlight, hit the ground running Hit the ground running, hit the ground running Pitter patter, streetlight, hit the ground running Hit the ground running, hit...
