Perspective

[Intro]
I don't wanna be like him
I don't wanna be like them
I just wanna be me
And let you get to know who I am
A lot of people get it mixed up with what I'm tryna push through my music
But at the end of the day
I'm just talkin' about what I know (Ayy)
How feel and what I see

[Verse 1]
I wanna show you my perspective (Uh-huh)
So you know my objective
Is not just to be a trend but to leave with you an incentive
I'm destined to be the best with
The words as if they're a weapon (Bah)
Hopin' that what I'm spittin' might shift your sense of direction
I'm tryna send out a message (Yеp)
To tell you you should never feel nеglected (Nah)
Even when they say that you've been rejected
The hatred, you should deflect it
And blessings, you should protect it
You might think I'm speakin' facts but I'm just speakin' from perspective (True)
'Cause now I'm feelin'
Like I'm smarter, I'm wiser (Ayy)
I'm climbin' up higher (Yeah)
And startin' a fire (Swear)
Leavin' people inspired and startin' my own empire
And givin' back to my parents so I can see them retire
I'm someone they can admire (Yes, sir)
Because I'm all about truth
Speakin' out to the old and the youth
Man, forget about them dudes who act too good to be true
If I'm rappin' on a track, know I'm rappin' just to you (On God)

[Chorus]
Some people love me 'cause I'm open-minded
And others hate me 'cause I'm spittin' my truth
They love it and they hate it
But I ain't ever fakin'
'Cause everythin' I'm sayin' only comes from my perspective
I tell it how I see it, please believe it
I'm just tellin' my perspective, my perspective
I only rap from my perspective
Some people disagree but they can see that
I'm just tellin' my perspective, it's respected

[Verse 2]
See, I was born with the gifts that a lot of people would envy, I got
People I don't know that tell me they wanna end me, all 'cause
What I be sayin', they don't seem to comprehend me, but they
Know that I mean what I say, now they respect me
'Cause I'm killin' it when I be spittin', I come with intelligence
But people just listen to lyrics that only imply belligerence
Like don't you just get sick of it? Listenin' to this ignorance
They rap about beef, but in the streets, they're just chicken shit
I'm always speakin' (Facts)
I rap about what see, how think and how act (True)
The love put into my work, I know I'll make it back (All day)
Double times it, and must you be reminded
When I stepped up in this game, they all complained 'bout what I say up in my raps
I told them to say less, so I can say more
I worked with chillinit, now you know what I stand for
I'm not tryna shed no light on my reflection
I'm just tryna steady win, and let you in on my perspective
Real shit

[Chorus]
Some people love me 'cause I'm open-minded
And others hate me 'cause I'm spittin' my truth
They love it and they hate it
But I ain't ever fakin'
'Cause everythin' I'm sayin' only comes from my perspective
I tell it how I see it, please believe it
I'm just tellin' my perspective, my perspective
I only rap from my perspective
Some people disagree but they can see that
I'm just tellin' my perspective, it's respected
