Preface

I have some, deep reservations on how people make money these days
I count all the numbers around me and sometimes feel a way
Been earning minimum wages, hope you make it someday
But look at all your efforts, steady building a case
Yeah, And ask the universe why it happened
Or why what hasn’t happened is the thing that keeps you rapping
Steady living of the hope that you will have it all
The principles of the universe start to take its toll
Yeah, Past relationships like death and taxes
You pay the price you payed but no ones asking how you manage
Like 8 mile you run rat race but you’re born a rabbit
You see the flashing lights with gold, and you just gotta have it
Yeah, please do forgive me my demeanor’s changed
I’ve started seeing patterns in the things I thought were strange
People acting different around me I won’t mention names
I thought you said you’d always love me, what a wicked game
It’s a cruel world we live in, if that’s what you see
I change the way I look at things and now they look at me
A little differently but inside I’m the same
I swear nothing has changed, I even kept my name
The same name they used back when I was texting on MXit
Those were some good times, and honestly say I can miss it
I guess we gotta grow, attempt to rule the world
Travel to Europe and some how we need to get the girl
I mean who has the time, I mean who has that life
When even on the worst days Beyoncé’s still your wife
How unattainable are some of these things that we dream
When you’re at home thinking
Damn I wish I wasn’t me
But you are, and you gaze upon star
And you wish with all you have, all the things that in your heart
Could come to a fruition, hope god is actually listening
Cause there’s a couple things I prayed for you might of missed them
Been sleeping on the job, I don’t say that with spite
I’ve really had a good life I guess we’re still alright
We could be living better, I guess we kinda are
So relative to time I guess my wishing on the star
Actually kinda payed off, although it was lost
Upon me during moments realized there was cost
I had to put the work, amongst alotta things
I’ve sacrificed some Queens just so I could be king
And what a heavy price, for we have everything
But we lost everything and that’s the scary thing
Yeah, i thank god for what I have
But I’m living for the future, reminisce on what has passed

I’ve always had a tough time proving that anything besides myself is real
So it’s like everything is in your head, everything you experience you somehow create, you’re responsible for it
But you can’t have it all, you have to choose certain paths and when you choose that path every other path falls away
So yeah I’ve had to sacrifice some things in order to get have the time to do this one thing
And it sucks buts it’s also the most amazing thing
To put it into better words or something relatable, you have a finite amount of time and energy, if you go to the kitchen and pour yourself a glass of champagne every other reality in that time frame cannot be experienced. You can’t have a soda, you can’t go have a cup of coffee or experience anything else except that glass of champagne. I guess this is my attempt to have a glass of champagne
