a stage and spotlight I call my home 

Home is a place in my mind that I call my destiny/
Destiny’s got people there, yeah, they bring out the best in me

could make it that way that would be great
Happy New years every one
Lets all get together during this night and have fun
We can all watch in Times Square

beers

And some people got a little too wound up
You might say they overfilled their cups
They excused themselves to go do the deed
They took substances

to hold all the pain in
cnd by time that we let it out, we're already so jaded
Forgive my misery, still feel like a kid to me
Though my imagination ain't

that you can climb
I can see it all the time when people open their mind
By design you will find your truth when you’re no longer blind

Chorus x2:
I

many times I done already lost hope
Ain't no justice in the system, especially when you living broke
It's people still in prison over a couple grams

Engulfed in the pit
Motherfuckers say I'm quick with the zip
She said get on your knees and pray while KC loading the
'Cause all these people acting like

every breathe

Their lies kill clearly
Now Iets strike them down
People pray while leaders say that
They won't hear you out

Flames burning out my window

Guided by intuition
Anybody in the way don't say hello
I glow just to show the people that it's possible
Mental isolation you the only one that's stopping

(That's simply my slang for big flexing)
(Let's make the world a better place)
(Show love to one another)

even let them say a word
See the Mic and I take it
Straight from their grips
Then I spit enough clips to get the place shaking
My pen and papers enough

He got to see if we gonmake it through them tests right
Cuz some people try to play it to the left right
Even when I'm not at my best right
He by my

and the jig is up
Put a halt to this cuz it's enough
Go ahead, do what you want
Some people compromise their minds because they grew it enough
But intellect is

Say their names

repeating but I wanna do it
For real, I wanna go big
I want to take over control so I can run this shit
It's my life, I mean who do I let control my life

How the hell am I
Supposed to think
All this shit right in front of me
Say boy have some self control
I do just at times
Man that answer's no
I'm not

I tried to give it a chance but now I'm fucked
Cause I let people in and that's my mistake
Cause I care too much to watch them walk away
And I care

Dudes be looking at me pitiful
Like it's in their ritual
Surrounded by these demons so I guess I'm getting biblical
Looking at me sideways so I

Say she likes'em dudes--not me cause I never flex
Inzen on the beat, when I'm putting up my best
I'm perplexed, I can never rest, people broke

I'll have you know I've
Been playing this game
For days and my brain's a-wasting

People always say, what they want

They can't believe the kid ain't got no stylist
I won't let nun of that shit get by us
I know a lot of y'all get real bias
Fuck w my bitch and I'm out

It might be the last time I let my dreams run wild
I cut them into pieces, gave them to other people
My blood, sweat, and tears into making theirs

imagine a world where every single thing is controlled by gold
Diamonds and pearls and all material is more a concern than all the people
