When I was 26 my company's CEO Told me I shouldn't focus on improving the things I know Are weaknesses He just said To maximize my strengths instead Took those words to heart and one year later I heeded them Left to do just what he told me 7 months later I've got half an ounce of boldness Improving slowly As I address these bad habits Kill them like Lavitz When they attack me with passion I'm Hooded man with reactions I'm only trying to jab back and Throw a right hook for the market I was feigning my safety when I set foot in the office Phone calls and gray carpets Rolling chairs and 5 coffees Hoped the data I charted Would help me hit all my targets I loved that job and I dug how it paid But between the office and all the show time I played I spent well over a year working 20 hour days Totally worth it but i started making dumb mistakes I ain't got time to be going broke to chase a dream I'd rather stay awake and be living what I see Thinking about my right to vote And the stakes with this regime Cause lately on my feed People taken with the tweets Makes me hit the congress site to scope They day's new bills and deeds Seems like it's always something that they're sneaking through We never notice. We think tweets and memes are evening news Can't pay attention cause we're way too busy feeding feuds Keyboard generation we really need a clue Airing all your business and your issues so that we can view Lighting up on line so that the peeps can get a Pikachu Catch all the drama algorithms let them feed to you Ashes to ashes now the day has passed ya Any chance of productivity rendered disastrous Said this was your year but now you're looking for a backup Clickbait on your feed producing laughter Guess that's what matters I just want to be Better on this day than I was on the last Consistent. Don't want to touch the sky just to crash I was wasting too much time it left my heart in chains If I'm to grow of course it's up to me to start the change You can't threaten a bite when your bark is tame So many people I know who could be sparking flames It seems my peers are more dedicated to calling names These rap communities are all the same Quote unquote real emcees who wear their hearts on their sleeves But not really sleeves Cause thoughts all get imparted with keys Talk to OGs And ask them what the difference is Between you and success When drive and keyboard passion are not equivalent Spats over nothing get in feuds and threaten violence Folks who making moves simply view the threads in silence Told y'all 5 years ago to take less salt Your blood pressure' might drop if the keyboard halts Put that time into your grind and you might see some results Instead of lurking awkwardly in pics with peeps you exalt Beef and you talk But I look and don't see any walk Grind some more and maybe give turn ups on weekends a halt Talking hard like nothing can mess with you Toxic masculinity Got you threatening Imaginary enemies When you're more sensitive Than a recently kicked pair testicles Instead of letting pride get the best of you Why don't you set your eyes on what's next for you Give your best so I can give my best with you Succeed so I can celebrate your success with you I understand it seems impossible and stresses you Every leap I take freaks me out and has me fretting too Understand that these are things everyone doesn't get to do There is so much work that I must yet pursue I am just...whomever I believe I am It sounds cliche until you say it 'Til you internalize it and then affect behavior Suddenly everything you touch you're expecting greatness Now when I think to make excuses I reject my fakeness I grew up playing pool. I'll call my shots before I take them In '14, said I'd live a life of constant elevation Told everyone close to me I would stop for no occasion My generation Takes in lots of motivation "Rise and grind", "It's my time", hot and potent sayings I'm guilty of being stagnant while I would post the same things But I refuse to believe that I'm not supposed to make it Too many people who inspired me lost the spark Got ahead of themselves til they were taking shots in the dark Failed resolutions just ripped them apart I took note. I was awe struck and wished for their art They were full speed ahead, took a few hits and they parked Engine fully functional, just a few dents in the car You never expect them to do this when they start Progress at a goal til that first failure strips them of heart Gym is packed in January, but who's lifting in March Look I'm sick of hearing your resolutions Won't you get it moving
