Mark Edmond, if you didn't know
I been getting in my own way
Dreams keep me awake, but I'm still in the same place
Fastest turtle in the league, they say step up, and keep the pace
It's not race, but why I'm tripping, cuz I'm, getting in the way
Ay
I been getting in my own way
I
I been getting in my own way
I been getting in my own
I been getting in my own way
Staring at the mirror, I'm talking to my biggest fan
I'm my worst critic, let me help y'all understand
Both got the same plan
In regards, we got the same scars
Gap teeth, and all
Skinny nigga like myself, often in my shell
Put in so much work, somehow, I still trail
Stuck in position, not much progress
It's crazy how my remedy, it causes more stress
Feeling out of place, even forgot how the liquor taste
Completely sober, so how I'm supposed to be a rapper
Got no tattoos, or ice, either
Clearly
Going broke investing, sadly, out here by my lonely
Nobody's tryna listen, 'less you're rich or famous, what's the chances?
Of making it in this business
Since everybody's pursuing careers in entertainment
Is it all about talent, or who's connected?
So, this the shit I fell in love with?
From what I see, can't believe, I might need a plan B
Lying to myself, saying that I'm just getting started
But, the reality, is I been rapping for a minute
The frustrations, writing then erasing, recording, not releasing
Some say those same records probably crush the competition
While I'm thinking, maybe, maybe I ain't good enough
I been getting in my own way
I
I been getting in my own way
I been getting in my own
I been getting in my own way
Not a doubt in my mind, I'm so ahead of my time
Overthinking these rhymes, how I be feeling inside
They're overcharging us artist, or claim we'll never succeed
I respect their grind, but I'm not paying that fee
That's your opinion
Been wrong once, you'll be wrong again
Of course invest, but not too many'll have your best interest
My own competitor, so I be pushing the envelope
I'ma be the greatest, or in the convo, I promise
I took the road less traveled, y'all can tell by my content
All the real ones relating, not one to follow what's trending
I can't tell the difference, they all sound, and look the same
Found my confidence, and went and carved out my own lane
Far from a gimmick, labeled authentic
Self-starter, if it was up to y'all, I'd still be waiting, bitter
Must be a reason, why I'm still here
Need a son to be my heir, while I'm chilling, grays in my hair
I been getting in my own way
I
I been getting in my own way
I been getting in my own
I been getting in my own way
I been getting in my own way
Dreams keep me awake, but I'm still in the same place
Fastest turtle in the league, they say step up, and keep the pace
It's not race, but why I'm tripping, cuz I'm, getting in the way
Ay
I been getting in my own way
I
I been getting in my own way
I been getting in my own
I been getting in my own way
