Infinite

I used to be inspired by the stars
Respect them for the real
Now they celebrate the flaws
I mean, I used to have their pictures pasted to my walls
But these days ,they ain't no inspiration at all
It's like they hate to evolve
Went from an ape to a frog
Went from a great to a fraud
And put no faith into God
Rap changed and they act like they ain't been involved
They forgot about they word and they name, and they balls
But, that's what it takеs to amaze the sheep
It doesn't mattеr who wrote it
And fuck who made the beats
Rest in peace to the rappers that they laid to sleep
They turned rap to religion and they paid the priest
I never prayed for peace
That would force the change
If I don't change it myself, I'm the source to blame
'Cause they adore the gains so they want the Porsche, the chain
They teach kids: treat love snd intercourse the same
But, check it, that's not the way I'm gonna raise my little man
Shooting for the moon, and praying it'll land
It's all gonna work as long as you making a plan
If they saying you won't, son, then I'm saying you can
Just don't be lazy
Convince me, don't persuade me
Get ready for this world, son, 'cause it'll drive you crazy
'92 baby, Seattle raised me
Ain't shit changed, we still on the same [?]
Never been a fan of all that fake shit fame brings
Promise, I'ma stay me
Fuck what the game needs
I don't plan on falling back
I don't need to ponder that
They don't want to listen to me
I can go move on from rap [?]
Told mom I'll make her proud, so, I gotta honor that
I swear, I get them jaws dropping every time I'm on a track
And that's the art of rap
Tell me, how hard is that?
So when I'm spitting, man, you'll hear from where my heart is at
But thinking farther back, when I was barely sane
My father cheated and cheated, I did the very same
I prayed for forgiveness, although, it rarely came
That's when I learned to bury pain with the Mary Jane
That's when I learned to run
That's when I learned to hide
That's when I learned to smile
Even when it hurt inside
And when you can't change shit
That'll hurt your pride
Like watching everything you fucking love burn alive
I wouldn't change it, though, I don't regret a thing
'Cause if it happened in my life then it was meant for me
That means I'm strong enough to deal with it mentally
Just give it time and that'll heal it eventually
But now it's different 'cause now I'm living it
Now, when shit hits me, it's a little more intimate
Just trying to see it happen how I envisioned it
Before the day I die but for now, I'm infinite
