Poem and Piano

You know man I been down lately All I’m tryna do is take care of myself and my fam So I grind everyday and I pray I really don’t care what nobody say Because I love this and I know my life gon’ change Can I just be myself in this rap thing? (Yeah) People brung me down but my direction won’t change (nah) When you give yourself a name, it comes with a lot of hate A lot of pain I’m tryna make it out the hood before I go insane Cause sometimes I go off on the things that people say (I do) Wanna lose my confidence but that won’t change Give my mama what she want just because the pain I was rakin’ Leaves just before this rap thing (Rakin’ leaves) We had to sacrifice for them better days (better days) We had to sacrifice for them better days (better days) Cruising round the city, it’s a memory lane First thing in my mind is thanking the lord that I wake Then I go and grind so I can put food on my plate (my plate) They say you can’t do it but you know it’s your way (your way) You the manifestor of the things coming your way (your way) Pull up in a foreign, Skrrrr Hop out one day (one day) Not materialistic but things got taken away (taken away) We kickin’ Ish no Liu Kang Liu Kang! I’m feeling your vibes, chakras elevate Going harder than yesterday (I am) I just wanna brand my name (Brand my name) Performing all day Just remember my name My name! Homie switched up on me like a outfit You fake! Always been real, never was a counterfeit Rocked one pair of shoes now it’s more kicks You can broke but you can still be rich I remain swift, I remain fluent! Power in my hands, so it’s a gift Give and receive, they ain’t gave me ish I remain humble cuz I said I will If you ain’t riding then detach from the wheel Non supporters? Not the deal, working like I’m working on the field Speaking from experience over the past years Lord protect me from the enemies over here May your love be my shield? Shield! Started from the bottom tryna get a house up on the hill On the hill! Run from who? Nah man I don’t fear
