[Intro]
(Lighter)
[Chorus]
I remember waking up in the city
Asking the same damn questions about the same damn shit
Figuring out things on the daily but it doesn't make a dent
Man, when am I gonna get this shit?
I understand I got a fam back home
Keeping me in line
I gotta stay in my zone
Man, I know I could be kinda selfish but I gotta hold my own
No one could do it for me anymore
[Verse 1]
I know that
Please don't tell me that
I know I could do this thing without you on my back
Don't tell me I can't
I'll write about it
Hope you have the Genius App
Want you to keep going back
To my lyrics
See exactly why I wrote what I did
See the logic?
I'm tired of explaining my movements because logically to them it doesn't make sense
And I'm not gonna keep going back in on it
My awareness is focused on in
My life perspective
Not fucking up shit
Staying here in college and doing it up
Some days I feel like nothing could stop me
Small town kid but ya'll barely know me
Some rumors, maybe these lyrics
Don't get at me if you thought I was different
I am different, don't laugh at me
I see lyrics but ya'll still doubting me
And I know it could be kinda dangerous knowing I have these powers
But, I know ya'll will wish the best for me
After some mileage, please listen to this whole thing
I know it could get difficult trynna support me but I promise I'm gonna amount to something
And I know that fam back home is always pushing me to do the right things but they say it's up to me
And, I know I could quit and not be good emotionally but I don't wanna be like everyone from the city
[Chorus]
I remember waking up in the city
Asking the same damn questions about the same damn shit
Figuring out things on the daily but it doesn't make a dent
Man, when am I gonna get this shit?
I understand I got a fam back home
Keeping me in line
I gotta stay in my zone
Man, I know I could be kinda selfish but I gotta hold my own
No one could do it for me anymore
[Verse 2]
I know right now I might not see it right, but I might
Go back in time just to see the sights
Maybe go in, change some shit
I'm not happy with how shit is
Like Donald Trump being the president
But that's just the beginning
I go to CNM, normal life
Used to live in tremendous sin
Now I sit back with a weird ass grin
Asking myself, what was your proposition?
Is it going towards any type of education?
Learned more in a year here than at my high school (Ain't that some shit)
Should I sit on this stool?
Keep rapping to you
Let you call me a fool
I don't know dude
It's either that or continue school
College is fun but there's always homework to do
I just wanna write lyrics and not get confused
Get me dude?
I found that my valley doesn't really produce greatness
I don't mean to be the villain but when was the last time you heard of someone makin' a killin' and not automatically thought
It was the heroine
Tell me kids
Come on, tell me kids
(What is that shit?)
Sorry, shouldn't have went that far but don't compare my sin to your sin because at least I'm trynna make other people aware
(Yo fuck it, yeah, yeah, fuck it, ha)
