The Train Ride

On this train ride
Thinking and writing all at the same time
See this talent I have, it really ain’t mine
It’s a gift from the man above
So I don’t do it for the fame yo, it’s all love
Hit ‘em with that Kanye shrug
If they don’t like it
See I could care less about your thoughts, I ain’t psychic
Look, you don’t know me, you lookin’ from the outside in
You must be inside-out, thinkin’ you gettin’ under my skin
You not, I do this for my people in the struggle
Dreamin’ for a better life so they gotta hustle
Kids gotta feed and a family to care for
Light through the darkness, that’s the reason I’m there for
And these other locals, give ‘em bifocals
They can’t see me, better study some of my vocals
Got these voices in my head with suggestions
In other words, pointing out my imperfections
Being nonchalant with my emotions like I’m careless
But at this point in my life, I can care less
I made some promises I couldn’t keep
Even lost friends, to this day we don’t speak
But I wish you the best, I ain’t holdin’ a grudge
We all done some things only God can judge
So please have mercy on my soul, put my whole on these beats
While most of these other rappers is sold to the beast
And you quotin’ all they lyrics, gettin’ demons in your spirit
Threw my radio away ‘cause I wasn’t tryna hear it
Consider that unplugged, ya MCV[?]
My current thoughts making waves over your MP3
I MPC, I’m sampling life, for the record I try
Wasn’t doing it right, so I looped it and turned my life around, now I’m fine
You can’t tell me how to live a life that’s mine, ya know
And I ain’t the biggest Christian
But I do speak for the right so they listen
Hurts when the people you love will turn missing
But my train of thought makes the pain feel distant, for now
I know it’s coming back and I can’t run forever
I hurt a lot of people so there’s no together
All I got is me, this book-bag of dreams
And clouds for my memories even though it seem
You know this life? Nah, you just looking from the outside
If you knew the truth, homie, it would leave your mouth wide open
I see the whole world from this window seat
And honestly, I don’t like what I see
