[Intro]
A little message to all of those who discredit/
I'm the shit at what I do and I don't need you to accept it/
Ticking time bomb flow, once I blow up they'll regret it/
Yo JR, I think we got em on this record
[Hook]
Living young wild and reckless on my road to imperfection
Give em line after line and it's nothing less than impressive
Switch it up to keep em guessin', definition of an artist
Somethin' new and somethin' different's been my motto since I started
With my city on my back, hopin' it don't leave no scaring
If it does guess I'll I chalk it up to remnants of the war
On this battle for success that I'm clearly headed towards
That I'm clearly headed towards (yea)
[Verse 1]
Straight out Tally settin' standards, a real game changer
Got heads noddin' from hippie niggas to gang bangers
And he's far from a stranger when it comes to guns held
Ain't talkin' R&B, but I know a nigga with 1-12
And if we got a problem, then he's quick to let it bang
Notes to get my hands dirty, ain't need to leave a stain
If your shootin' for the stars keep it steady with ya aim
Em said we only get one, shame to let it go in vain
Money can buy it all, but trust it cannot obtain
Couldn't buy love either, but I feel their one in the same
For a man with so much to loose, in the theirs so much to gain
And when your this concrete, ain't a problem paving your lane
Just keep a steady foundation, strong enough to sustain
Some of the impending problems that come with this music game
And I wish you the best of luck, this shit get slow and insane
Tell ya this though, one thing about me that'll never change
I'm living -

If it does guess I'll I chalk it up to remnants of the war

[Verse 2]
Got a bar for every star up in ya solar
I told em stop sleepin', but that only get you so far
They looking for a reason and I plan on providing that
Somethin' to look up to like those big screens at the I-Max, I AM THAT
Flow wrinkle free, so there ain't a need to iron that
In this lab perfecting my craft my nigs' where I am at
Told me to knock em dead, so I hit the booth and lie em flat
That's why you hear a flat line in the back
And they call what I do amazing
Standing behind these bars, so metaphorically I'm caged in, nigga this no façade
Especially since I don't write, it's like my pens on strike
For these lyrics a nigga mentals' the only needed utensil
So fuck a pad and a pencil, I save that for them other guys
And I rap like me, so don't compare to those other guys
Unless it's one of the best then I guess I'll accept otherwise, shit I guess I'll accept otherwise, I'm livin'
[Hook]
Living young wild and reckless on my road to imperfection

If it does guess I'll I chalk it up to remnants of the war
On this battle for success that I'm clearly headed towards
That I'm clearly headed towards (yea)
