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
