Music Makes Me

[Verse 1: Zi]
March 24th I just turned 25
A little tired but I'm feeling blessed to be alive
I put my heart in this music mother fuckers don't realize
See one time I sang a song in the studio and almost cried
Didn't have the balls to release it but I swear to God
I'm not the type of rapper who sing it but don't live it
And maybe you don't like it but you can't tell me that you don't feel it
This got me thinking 'bout all the pain and anger microphones witness
With all the dust biting and the fucking with the wrong bitches
So I may not be that prolific
But every one of my songs are a stories with pictures feelings and everything that goes with it
And everybody claims to be so different
But all I hear is empty words on a hot beat no purpose no mission

[Chorus: Zi]
The passion is deep and these words are real see
I take my time wanna make sure that you feel me
And if I can't do this anymore just kill me
I just hope that by then I'll have a lil' me
The passion is deep and these words are real see
I take my time wanna make sure that you feel me
And if I can't do this anymore just kill me
I just hope that by then I'll have a lil' me

[Verse 2: Zi]
It sucks feeling fucked when you're stuck in traffic on a highway
See all I do is peddle I'm a rebel wanna make it my way
But Lord knows it's not an easy thing
We spend so much time trying to make it through the day
How can we build a better future
Feeling like gorillas in a Mini Cooper
And frustration is a feeling that you never get used to
Everyday's a battle better be a good trooper
If ambition was a drug I'd be a drug addict
Too much in my system fall get up and I'm back at it
I can't accept defeat call it a bad habit
But still I won't cheat too afraid of backlashes
Unable to provide do you know how this feels
'Cause see nobody wants to be the fifth wheel
Try to stop me you'll join the dead bugs on my windshield

[Chorus: Zi]
The passion is deep and these words are real see
I take my time wanna make sure that you feel me
And if I can't do this anymore just kill me
I just hope that by then I'll have a lil' me
The passion is deep and these words are real see
I take my time wanna make sure that you feel me
And if I can't do this anymore just kill me
I just hope that by then I'll have a lil' me

[Verse 3: Zi]
We use to record on cassettes in the basement
And talk about how we gon' blow up and make a statement
A head full of dreams you should've seen our faces
See music made me more than I will ever make it
Almost dropped out of school over that shit
Thank God I wasn't a fool even back then
'Cause if you got the skills but not the tools man you ain't shit
You gotta know how to move plus you're only good as your last hit
Fast forward to today a lot of people gave up
Lost along the way and dropped the pen and paper
Some blamed it on the game and became haters
For you I will pray and hope to see you later
Others got older settled down and had kids
Telling me
I gotta a family to feed I got no time for this rap shit

[Chorus: Zi]
The passion is deep and these words are real see
I take my time wanna make sure that you feel me
And if I can't do this anymore just kill me
I just hope that by then I'll have a lil' me
The passion is deep and these words are real see
I take my time wanna make sure that you feel me
And if I can't do this anymore just kill me
I just hope that by then I'll have a lil' me
