You ever felt like you were here for more Yeah that nine to five lick pay the rent But the stress that you get from the shit Make you wonder what you do it for Like what's the goal that you moving towards? I wanna do it for the love like a troubadour Pursuing more than dollars Peace of mind, calm soul, staying true to form Learn the game, now they wanna move the board Chaos the newer Norm, like cheers homie, moving on Clear what we do in song manifest soon When you moving wrong Doing good, probably won't be moving long Praying for our pain, cash stay accruing What they doing won't change, keep it true Joe for you and yours I'm bout as cool as a humidor Atypical, introduced my lyrical chops for what I do and more A new movement, feet up on the desk in your room So rude to your rules and the room decor I'm doing me, never worry bout a critic Writers block, no only writing what I'm living Writing for a village, So I'm raising up the kids when It's all said and done, you can say I really did it Changed the cycle, seen an eyeful Paid the price for, boss living, that some of y'all would die for I thought, my cause of lifting up the hood was cool Until they laughed at my thoughts, like why dog I brought, fam out the trenches to live in conditions That's better than anything that we were ever given Calm in the storm, yeah we made it through the blizzard And rain, with a little bit of faith and better vision Cause dead or prison was the sentence they were giving To kids trying to hustle to meet ends from living In poverty, hate the feeling of hunger pangs the kitchen Was empty, the fridge running up bills, it ain't chilling So how you judging the rappers that really lived it Really spit the facts about their early days getting it Made it out the ditch, trying to give back with wisdom But the shorties think it's cap so they ain't even listening Dumb down the message, maybe don't even give it Homie the minute that I made it to a million I was different Reliving all the ill in these lyrics and still grind on Hoping that this little light of mine can shine on
