Path

[Verse 1]
Give me a moment of time to speak what's on my mind
It's running circles and zigzags, it's never straight lines
Head on the pillow, hard as a brillo pad
I'm picking at scabs, brain seeing visions of past
As I wiped ass off the restroom seats
Vacuumed floors for doctors who would not see me
Invisible, worthless, many times I deserve it
Thoughts I use to have, I felt like I ain't have a purpose
Uh, college student working part time through it
Two jobs stupid ass nigga, what you doing?
Mama stressed to me often, get a degree and yah options
Widen up, do it now, tighten up
I love you mama and you dropped them bands on classes and books
But I been ditching all that shit, I'm writing verses and hooks
Uh, college won't for me, so I dropped out
And I'm speaking for myself, I ain't encouraging the same route

[Refrain]
Uh, but if you love something, do it
(Yeah) But if you love something, do it
Yeah, you gon' go through it
(Yeah) But if you love something, do it

[Verse 2]
Fast forward, a nigga working for himself
A couple plaques up on the shelf and I done did it by myself
It won't easy, bro, checks was looking slim, the rent was always eating easy, though
60/40 with my girl, we made it work
Uh, now I'm making so much money she don't even work
Uh, still I have hard times, many nights I grind
Just to pay the bills and keep her satisfied
She say, "It's not about money", but is that really true?
If I lost it all today, tell me, what would you really do?
Running laps against competitors and if you slip for a second
These niggas is miles ahead of ya'
And it's crazy, 'cause niggas switch up and ditch you in milliseconds
Hope my family different, that's you if you really listen
To me, any niggas commenting, all my fans
I love you to the D-E-A-T-H
Hope I help you down ya' own P-A-T-H, yeah
