Blueprint

[Intro: Gibby Stites]
Yeah, yeah, mic check, one two, one two! Mic check, mic check, mic check!
I'm not the one
And that's why I cannot run
I know I've been on
My own for so goddamn long

[Verse 1: Gibby Stites]
Check it! I'm the first arriving and the last out
I got a thirst for grinding, let the cash count
They say they don't condone the shit I rap 'bout
I say why you throwing stones within a glass house? (Glass house)
Okay, let's talk about perseverance
Talk about flowin' whether or not a single person hear it
They've been known to fear it, same time, so reverent
I got flow and spirit, no soul though, so apparent
Overzealous, what I hear from older fellas
I still got my spark, be happy for me, don't be jealous
Let me live, let me live, let me live, ya'll
I got a million songs left I want to give ya'll
I used to hate life, now I live a great life
I ain't talkin' limousines or hundred dollar steaks, right
My life is great, why? 'Cause every single day I write
I get to do the thing I love every day and night

[Chorus: Gibby Stites]
I know I'm the one (Number one, yo)
And that's why I cannot run (Never run no)
I know I can show (Get the blueprints)
Everybody how to do it on your own (On your own, though)
I know I've been on (Yeah I know)
My own for so goddamn long (So alone)
But I know my worth (Yeah yeah)
And refuse to be treated like dirt (Like dirt)

[Verse 2: Gibby Stites]
What am I? A rose from the cement
Left to wither through the winter but I've grown, best believe it
The things I rap about, I know 'cause I've seen it
The things you yap about are false and facetious
I just breeze in and do my thing, they used to boo my name
What comes around goes around, something like a boomerang
You front like you the man and you way too cool to hang
I couldn't get a light but now I'm bringing you the flame
They see me speak up for myself and say I'm too insane
At least I'm smart enough to run and dodge a moving train
You ever got invited on a ship that's sinking slow?
You row as hard as you can and nobody let you know
And then they act as if you're the one who let the water in
When you're the only one who's trying to patch the problems and
I can talk forever, yada yada yada, man
Just bring the chorus in as Gibby bring the dollars in

[Chorus: Gibby Stites]
I know I'm the one (Number one, yo)
And that's why I cannot run (Never run no)
I know I can show (Get the blueprints)
Everybody how to do it on your own (On your own, though)
I know I've been on (Yeah I know)
My own for so goddamn long (So alone)
But I know my worth (Yeah yeah)
And refuse to be treated like dirt (Like dirt)

[Interlude: Gibby Stites]
I know one man, a lot of people get down and out. They get depressed. They give up on they dreams. They feel like they ain't got no-no support system, nobody believe in them. Even at my lowest moments, somebody always believed in me. You know why? 'Cause I believe in my motherfucking self

[Chorus: Gibby Stites]
I know I'm the one (Number one, yo)
And that's why I cannot run (Never run no)
I know I can show (Get the blueprints)
Everybody how to do it on your own (On your own, though)
I know I've been on (Yeah I know)
My own for so goddamn long (So alone)
But I know my worth (Yeah yeah)
And refuse to be treated like dirt (Like dirt)
