Since adolescence
My dreams took a backseat to reality
I took a dim view of the light that was inside of me
My uncle took a stab at the streets and got stabbed in the streets
Screw a knife
He'd take a bullet a for me
For as long as I'd take a bead on academic degrees
Taught me the difference between taking a chance and taking a risk
Before he took a hike to heaven, he told me bout luck
Preparation is overrated
Take a shot in the dark
And keep chasing your dreams, take a run at all of them
Try to take a wicket every time you ball on them
Everything's gon take a turn for the better take a seat
Or rather take a stand for everything you believe
Threw me in at the deep end fore I learned to take dip
I took a spin to Nirvana the first time I took his weed
And since then
I've been chasing the high from that first hit
The closest I've come is a rap beat
Rest In Peace

I'mma take a ride somewheres I ain't always at fault
Pedal to the metal
Burning rubber and asphalt
Head to the horizon
We gon crash on the skyline
And fly into a world we ain't sidelined
I'mma take a ride somewheres I ain't always at fault
Pedal to the metal
Burning rubber and asphalt
Head to the horizon we gon crash on the skyline
And fly into a world we ain't sidelined

I'm fighting tooth and nail against the odds I was dealt
Seeking closure from an ex who brushed aside how I felt
She said I'm too delicate for a man, my heart tender
Crashed in self-hate and shock without a fender
Rose-colored glasses
Couldn't see them red flags
But we're all colorblind when there's love in the air
Surprise surprise
Don't mean to tell tales out of school
But what's the booth for if not to spill my heart and my truth
I get a rise outta these rhymes and the feelings they enkindle
So I piece em all together and present them as a riddle
For your eardrums hoping you tag along on this trip
And walk a mile in my shoes endure the hurt that I keep
Wishing my songs could hit paydirt and catch a big break
I'd move heaven and earth to get some mint from these raps
So when I buy the farm
I'll leave something for the fam
Let them know it weren't for nothing what i did for this game

I'mma take a ride somewheres I ain't always at fault
Pedal to the metal burning rubber and asphalt
Head to the horizon we gon crash on the skyline
And fly into a world we ain't sidelined
I'mma take a ride somewheres
I ain't always at fault
Pedal to the metal, burning rubber and asphalt
Head to the horizon we gon crash on the skyline
And fly into a world we ain't sidelined

Were all the secrets of life penned in layman's terms
I would never miss the mark and learn to master my aim
And shoot for the stars fly in the teeth of opposition
Stand watch and protect my mother from all infliction
I would do my homework try to make it all work
Instead of working my tail off for close to no pay
I made a hash of my life
I need an undo option
Not all's skittles and beer
I got a box of bad chocolate
I got a losing ticket
I'm on a losing wicket
I live on a shoestring footslogging through the thick and
Thin with the help of hard drugs and hard drinks
Disregard my liver it's the brain that's hard hit
Just trynna find some willpower but on a dead axle
The world ain't my home but I try to play landlord
Read between the lines then maybe you'll read my mind
And compass my whole life is a lie

I'mma take a ride somewheres I ain't always at fault
Pedal to the metal burning rubber and asphalt
Head to the horizon we gon crash on the skyline
And fly into a world we ain't sidelined
I'mma take a ride somewheres I ain't always at fault
Pedal to the metal burning rubber and asphalt
Head to the horizon we gon crash on the skyline
And fly into a world we ain't sidelined
