I've been broke 22 years of my life Mama had two jobs, one day and at night Double shift, the nursing home, this struggle ain't right Four of us in one apartment just to keep on the lights No mobility in poverty, but I be chasin' this dream Till the end of this dream is gold and I can see what it means Beauty in the struggle, hungry for success Been down at the bottom, I'ma be passing This test How much do you want it, what you willing To sacrifice Been a man no little, nigga, after your prom night You a grown man, at 18, 21 means you too Old For havin' no expectation, shit, my back It be achin' Workin' stock at foot action, and my foot It be achin' But enough of complainin', what you gonna Do to Fix your status in society, win the lottery probably scam, with your entire team for The pot of greed And I'm just lightin' up, feel my passion in my words Sorrow in spoken word, man, I'm just lightin' up My niggas tell me, Mike, it's comin' soon You need to chill, just lightin' up But I won't lighten up Dreams and ambitions I need to fulfill, I Can't lighten up Yo, the flow majestic like some angel wings It's been a dream since my naps was in tangles Cough medicine from playin' in the rain that's that Benadryl, it's Been a drill For these past few years, and I can tell That the sun don't shine no more I can tell my life is one of a kind But I'm drivin' blind, these bitches ain't shit Some homies, ain't either Been lost in my thoughts, been trapped in My mind And I can't find the way out I look in the mirror, I look like my father I hate the qualities I have that I'ma carry Over Slowly progressin', one step at a time I truly hate when it rains, and I can't stand father time Feel like they passin' me by Who I am, who do I wanna be What is this entity that hovers over me Some theories about myself, ideas for the Wealth Sufferin' success, I yet to picture myself Losin' grip of reality, cause I'm raisin' the bar Niggas stay playin' Gs, like the strings of guitars More trapping for the future, less, Kendrick Lamars This world could be yours, but it's truly yours. Man, I'm just lighten up Yeah, I'm just lighten up Yeah, I'm just lighten up Yeah, I'm just lighten up Yeah, I'm just lighten up
