Birth of a Legend (feat. Vonte Picassionte)

Look, I'mma forever be a student Everyday I'm learning lessons You want that bacon cheddar cream, dawg That's a loaded question Tryna wake up everyday, eat breakfast, and cut a record Some say I'm too aggressive, but fuck it, cause they respect it Uh, the world is crazy, a hundred million MCs in it I love the babies, but ain't tryna bring no seed in it You try to raise them, and everybody impedes in it They try to turn up the heat, cause they got degrees in it What's the percentage of success in this field, hmm, a slim chance Been one of the realest, but spent my life as an implant Lotta people walk in the light just to get they skin tanned Seem like when you try to do right, it'll stunt your wingspan I'm tired of waking up early and going to work for someone else Draining all my energy till I'm just left with nothing else Searching for a remedy, big business is something else Making plenty, paying me pennies like, fuck your mental health I should throw my hat in the air and tell them, go fuck yourself Ain't no lying down, it's time to get up and trust yourself Easy to live your life nervous when you never been certain Used to visit churches to worship people speaking in cursive Living with the burden of lacking purpose, tried to be perfect Wonder if it's worth it, shit's sweet till you get deserted Swimming in water that's deep, ain't even scratch the surface Destined to rinse and repeat, money, power, and murder I'm loose again, penmanship crazy, fresh out the loony bin The truth is saying that nigga that Hades, guess he a Judas then I'm feeling righteous it's deadly soon as I write this You could die behind these bars like doing life up on Rikers Look, I had to learn to see the difference in niggas That came with learning that I had to keep a distance from niggas Times was getting dark, I had to flip the switch on these niggas Yeah, and ain't no way they finna block my shine Rollie faces had to ice my time Cause I was aching, how them clocks flew by Complications, but baby, it's coming right on time I had to stand on mines And wait for shit to blow like when you stand on mines Yeah, shout out to niggas raised in broken homes Watch yo mama slave, that bring a different pain Fuck a broken bone, no wonder why we grow up all alone To watch a woman ache, that's just a different day And that's all we know It was teen clubs and guns aiming To hear you made it out alive, that's a love language Could be pictured on a shirt with hearts and doves painted Yeah, now they showing you some love, ain't it I pity fools who cup runneth over because they pitiful Residuals don't come to niggas who sit in living room With attitude about having nothing But they ain't busting moves Getting money, what you supposed to do Hard to rule out the good from the evil So much decension in people You could be looking at death when you meet em' I determined that they lesser than equal That mean I'm greater than Anyone who speak about me hoping they my favorite fan Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Catch a rapper by the toe If they spit a hot 16 I'll probably let them go Chances is they probably choke So I throw them off the boat They better hope them bored ass raps'll keep they ass afloat
