2008

Back in the days Minimum wage Sellin' the J's Gotta get paid Findin' a way Smokin' the haze Pen was ablaze Burnin' the page Wasn't a phase Fell in love with the game I fell in love with the game Food & Liquor front to back Dope Boyz in a Cadillac Word of Mouf, I fucked with that Tried to write, I had a knack Big bro put me on to rap I was five, he showed me that Years later, found a bag Name attached, Craig Mac Yeah, I guess he had my dream too Yeah, your life taken too soon Sixteen, he ain't get a chance to bloom I could never quit I'm also doing this for you When I'm at the gates I hope you tell me that you're proud of me Mom and dad are good and I took care of those surrounding me You're the light I see through all the demons that are clouding me Pray for perseverance to ignore the people doubting me Gave up on my drinkin', I can lock in on my meaning All those times I chased a thrill not knowing I don't need it Energy is strong, if I don't see it I delete it Everyday's an elevation, don't believe in peakin' Lately I have been a slave to my anxiety I been feelin' like the whole world always eyein' me Seem like everyday I got somebody tryin' me I close my eyes and let it go I know you're guiding me Too much pressure on myself is really just the pride of me Prove 'em right or prove 'em wrong, the gas that keep on driving me Be the best version of me is who I always strive to be Ten toes on the dirt and staying humble how I try to be Livin' life on borrowed time Nothing's promised except for dyin' Til then I stay on my grind Chest is out, my head is high Open mind, my eyes are wide People talk, don't pay no mind Go get your yours, I'm gettin' mine I'll see you on the other side
