I was only six years old when I said f*ck the system (Ayo f*ck the system) Only I didn't say f*ck still you get the picture By second grade domestication was their main intention And by second grade I'd seen the grain and I just went against it By middle school If I ain't fall in line they'd reprimand me (Bitch) Basically brand me with the idea that I need a Plan B F*ck it Set my sights upon the Grammies Prove who I can be Sleeping on me pop an ambi- Intentionally different And the plan was fully scripted And they'd slowly realize Oh shit he's gifted Sorry that's my inner indigo child that's speaking Turn me to a sinner that's finna go wild he could In high school all I cared about was music and the weekends Bitches and the reefer or liquor I guess it depends On the vibe and how everybody was feeling After I graduated that lifestyle started revealing The darker side of me The darker side of me If I don't try to be Better than I was yesterday I should just die and leave The darker side of me The darker side of me If I don't try to be Better than I was yesterday I should just die and leave Victim mindset They ask me nick you signed yet And shit I'm dying to say yes But I'd be lying I guess Momma need the money Mental health is slipping And at the bottom of the bottle All you doing's sipping Bad omens in my daily tryna scew the mission Bad thoughts in my psyche just carbon emissions In my ecosystem F*ck Landlord tryna seize the house They gon' repo this shit They tryna bring the darkness out of me It never phase me cuz I'm meditating hourly Dedicated now to be the greatest later in this game They can't teach you how to be iconic but it's in the name (Icon Nick) Slow it down Used to think I'd know it now Oh shit it's going down Said slow it down Showing up and we showing out Lucifer in my sub conscience focusing on bringing out The darker side of me The darker side of me If I don't try to be Better than I was yesterday I should just die and leave The darker side of me The darker side of me If I don't try to be Better than I was yesterday I should just die and leave When I was just a senior I felt like a fucking failure You couldn't tell by my demeanor I had my sights set high But the life I lived didn't follow that narrative I was at the bottom of the barrel But not excepting the peril Was motherfucking imperative I was already a truant but I was eighteen So the system couldn't do shit But I was just screaming out f*ck it Cuz I knew the school system wasn't conducive To success in the way that I wanted it Like bigger than this fucking continent I was only 13 when I decided this world was mine for the conquering But half a decade later and I was still sitting up late in the basement My parents almost fucking kicked me out Guess they didn't know what this was about F*ck it I put all my problems aside On the top shelf sitting next to my pride Stuck with the circle I knew was down for the ride Down to for the ride (Down for the motherfucking ride) And I never took a fucking day off So when I hopped on the plane to L.A And heard Katy perry say I flow like a god I knew that all this work would pay off So when the voices inside of my head Start telling me I'm better off dead I ain't never gonna let em win They just begging me to give in to the The darker side of me The darker side of me If I don't try to be Better than I was yesterday I should just die and leave The darker side of me The darker side of me If I don't try to be Better than I was yesterday I should just die and leave
