Existential Crisis

Type shit I tried Rolling with the punches man but I can't roll for shit (I can't roll for shit) Knocked down for the count so many times I almost quit (so many times I almost quit) Sleeping and dreaming, but a nigga wasn't slick Looking back on all that shit like man goddamn I need that shit (goddamn I need that shit) I tried rolling with punches, man, but I can't roll for shit I've been knocked down for the count, so many times I almost quit Thinking 'bout how all the times I slept in thinking I was slick Or the times I sat in class thinking I don't need this shit I've been lost inside my thoughts, and kept a slave to all my wants I let past affect my present so it's presence never stops Playing tricks on kids like rabbits, fuel and feed in all their habits Made me think I needed absence, cause I couldn't find no balance I was all alone, No new texts up in my phone shit was cold Disrespectful tongue out like a rolling stone Trolling bro Still Don't fuck with niggas not a homophobe, but leave me 'lone Listen close 'cause this is where your nigga finna let you know I tried rolling with punches, man, but I can't roll for shit I've been knocked down for the count, so many times I almost quit Sleeping and dreaming but a nigga wasn't slick Looking back on all that shit like man goddamn I need that shit (Tell 'em) Fresh out of the pen man I felt so damn free live like adults but I'm still 17 can go to the clubs long as I got the fee and don't got to trip cause i got money trees But all of these people be coming to me and go question for question on what I'ma be when I say I'm rapping they praying for me Like how could I ever forsake from the tree Crying in class cause they bidding on me wiping their ass cause they're shitting on dreams Saying I can't be a celebrity cause no one be rapping with suburban dreams Talking to me what you wanting from me Talking bout wanting some college degree Talking bout what you can offer to me But can't talk if it don't end with -oligy Telling me all of the time I'm gon' waste Chasing a dream that nobody should chase Hungry for something nobody can taste Stacking my plate, stuffing my face They talking to me like they barter with me you ain't never done nothing but bothering me And don't sit and say that you was fathering me You know before rap you ain't nev' rocked with me Talking the shit like you altered this shit You ain't never corrected the altar n shit And you better reflect on the popular shit That was selling your souls to the alter n shit I done made all moves by the heart of the rich and my mind was inside of a bottomless pit I was sunken to something I want to forget and I'll never have nothing to soften that shit I tried rolling with punches, man but I can't roll for shit (I can't roll for shit) I've been knocked down for the count, so many times I almost quit (so many times I almost quit) Sleeping and dreaming, but a nigga wasn't slick Looking back on all that shit like man goddamn I need that shit (goddamn I need that shit) I've been lost inside my thoughts and kept a slave to all my wants I let past affect my present so it's presence never stops (it's presence never stops) Playing tricks on kids like rabbits, fuel and feed in all their habits Made me think I needed absence 'cause I couldn't find no balance I was rolling with punches, man but I can't roll for shit (nah

money Got hella time, get better from it Got hella time, let's get her done it Not spending time on less or nothing I'm mending lines so best is coming These ain't just lines, they meant for something I've created something straight from my mind It's been brought to life just like Frankenstein It's called 23' and it's taken time, but it's now the day that I share my life I been scared to talk but I'm quick to listen seen how the folks feel 'bout my position Felt all the hate from my life decision, but I'm confident in my disposition Cant work no double, fuck overtime, you hate a nigga for keeping quiet You starved my pockets just like a diet Then bashed a nigga when he left goodbye I speak the truth I don't care for clout I won't peep the news 'til the best is out You want leaks for views but I shut my mouth I wont peep the news 'til the best is out Verses heat the booth it be so hot I need a ceiling fan Speaking from the heart my nigga told me y'all be feeling that Could never work a job I only see my self a businessman Worked so many shifts I feel like shifting Robert Dillingham I tried rolling with punches, man but I can't roll for shit (I can't roll for shit) I've been
