Wishful thinking as an adolescent Though I was stressing Granny always taught me count my blessings I remember sitting quietly In the pews of the church Wondering if they lying to me I was hurt Lil Lyssa always questioned authority Raised my eyebrows at the white kids They was always ignoring me Never paid me no attention Unless it was to mention How I didn't fit in Had me second guessing My worth my placement on this planet Why they never accepted me I tried to understand it They reprimanded me 'Cause I was different I became silent on my solo coalition Ambitious to set the trends They was busy making friends I was ducked off in the cut Hungry for them ends Made amends joined the misfits A perfect match Raise my glass to the underdogs Look where we at Never could they picture me Picture me With the beauty of a nine piece band or a symphony Still I keep them heads ringing Prepare for Dre day Chilling with my darker shades on Shout out to Mayday Hoping it's payday nothing in life is free Gotta be compensated If you live your life through insecurities Everything's complicated Moral of the story Keep it humble walk in truth Heal from the past before it choke you like a noose Only bite the fruit if it's ripened Remember that And never trust a wheel unless the bolts have been tightened You set the bar you was doing alright Now it's been heightened I'm a beast in my craft Remember me like the Titans They wanna break me They don't know what I'm built from All they know I plot and scheme on beats and then I slay em All they know I plot and scheme on beats and then I slay em Pay no mind to empty souls Mute that conversation
