Don't Be Like Me

Yeah Let's talk about this shit I've been holding it back I've been standing on the tip Like a balancing act I've been learning what this is I've been building a map One day all of the kids Will be learning to trap But that's not what I want That's not what the vision is I'm a son of a bitch Who was never quite fitting in All of the cliques My room I was sitting in Was a trap in itself With a clap and a bell Hating my voice I think you know you could tell Using other beats Yeah the quality fell Now I'm mumbling cuz I know it will sell I don't know any better I wish someone would tell How to be keeping myself In this world Full of drugs With an absence of love The hole that I'm digging Once again being dug The bowl being lit Being cranked like a lug I'm constantly screaming That I don't give a fuck But I know that should I would stop if I could And I know that you would If you thought it was hood But don't be like me kids I'm really no good I won't have the life My momma thought that I should Don't do it for someone else though Do it for yourself Don't put the opportunities Up on a shelf They won't last forever It's time for me to tell My life might be over I might really go to hell Damn I might really go to hell Let me tell you why I do this shit I never had any friends who were telling me to stop Getting out of the parties St st Stopping the op I'm selling myself like I'm up open for shop And any friends who didn't like I opened up on the crop Function of the photo editor Thinking that I'm better-er But I wish that I didn't Because I fell to the predator That is the rap game I'm checking my cellular As if the rap fame Comes in to the messenger Telling me I made it Telling me get faded Telling me my worries Will all soon be out dated Perfect picture it painted On the ice I'll be skating As if someone like me could ever say that I made it False hope in abundance Everybody in the running Don't ever stop the fun Man victory is coming Just get your shit buzzing Just get the people humming Everything that you want At the push of a button False hope in abundance Everybody in the running Don't ever stop the fun Man victory is coming Just get your shit buzzing Just get the people humming Everything that you want At the push of a button Now let's not get it twisted I ain't telling you stop Because maybe one day You'll end up at the top You'll be the one with the fame They'll be respecting your name End up changing the game They'll be like "that flow is insane" Opportunity comes And opportunity goes I'm thinking that it's better If you go with the flow I'm thinking that it's better If it's down on the low But I'm just a silly rapper What the hell do I know I'm just speaking from my past And I know it didn't last I've been thinking of the failure I've been Putting it on blast And from loser to potential I'm giving you this task Do 100 times better And you better do it fast Cuz fame doesn't wait And fame isn't patient I hear that Fame is a monster And your life it will be taken But fame is a goal And in the end it sounds amazing So what I want you to do Is make that song that your making Make it make it make it Better than you ever did Focus on your highs man Focus on your mids Break it break it break it Down to the letter man Varsity spit Take it take it take it To the next level Earn yourself a medal You're going uphill man You're gonna need to pedal
