Laying in a puddle full of what I was Looking up had me dissolving in the sludge But I'm good I spent forty days and forty nights Pen and the pad Trying to tell you about my life Full of misdirection and plight Over aggression and over obsession Fear of heights, the glass ceiling cracked on my entrance Shards staining my temple Everybody took what I gave to borrow Sparring with the demons Made me reason with seeing tomorrow Gum-stained soles tied over my laces Stopped falling when I stopped fearing heights Been knew I was going places I done had my hands tied and sawed-off They tried to take my pen Cause when the ink dries, I go off Spent hours chasing mastery These verses write themselves Due to alchemy Done birth a masterpiece They tried to limit me but Thank God for Master P I'm chosen. I told God to use me Speak through me Fumbling words trying to find answers Dropped the ball a time too many I'm clueless I'm just a vessel that he using I'm just bones and skin decomposing On the hour, by the hour Fruit spoiled, mouth sour Had supper with the uppers Had dinners with downers Wash my doubts down with liquor Drunk alone at home base, it's just me and the pitcher Swinging clinched fist at niggas I vomit all of my issues I'm better when I'm with you My stomach ache had to swallow the truth and eat up my food Laying in a puddle full of what I was Looking up had me dissolving in the sludge But I'm good The purest soul taking advantage of the role Who was there when I was down on luck and living on my own My heart aching trying to find love I ain't been held in a minute Trying to heal These cuts deeper than a feeling but I feel 'em And fill em' with each syllable from my pencil and then some I roll some just to feel some and then some I been s-s-s-s stuttering since a little kid I never had a problem with repeating shit Try locking yourself in a room Till you had 16 bars and the right instrumental Was a gap-toothed lil nigga, so I got braces and tried to fix them It's a lot of insecurities in this one Smoking trying to fix my mental The homies told me "why you acting like you on your menstrual? nigga cheer up" "F*ck" On a break from work it's a four-nine Just got the phone with Deuce he told me he did seven-five I let the ink bleed It's not even me talking I let the pen speak Predicting the weather like what the lick read It's enough being said and I don't talk much Senior year smoking blue games and dutch's Now we doing walk-ups Close my eyes cause I'm safest in my mind but honestly I done died a hundred times then came alive I'm a long way from the northside The city missed me when I left I'll be back soon with love and money to pay off all my nigga debts And cut the checks A nigga from the pote done made it out the ropes That they had tied Seen niggas never leave or die in real-time, with my own eyes This from Bama to the go I'm doing what I said before Before the fro locked Before my nigga turned his momma house into a dope spot Shipping shit make sure the load drop And dipping when we hear them folks out Laying in a puddle full of what I was Looking up had me dissolving in the sludge But I'm good
