A somewhat rebellious outlook on how society tends to push one down. This song deals with frustration of being put down by various factors/obstacles/people out there that would usually tell one “no” whenever attempting to go after a desired dream.
[Verse 1: Anzio]
I shouldn't even hold grudges
But even I sound like a walking contradiction
Even though it budges
Sometimes I can't take a bunch of these addictions
Of a certain leading type of buzzer preaching
Cause even being judged by belief
Tell me what that achieve
Even though the masses seem keen
On the fact that I should be clean
But your sins up to the brim
Say something fucking simpletons
[Chorus]
Even though it seem
Like a nigga have a dream
And I try to get it
And they tell me no
When I'm on the grind
And we ask to get behind
Cause shit happens over time
And they tell me no
They they they tell me no
They they they tell me no
They they they tell me no
[Bridge]
If I was above the high court
Would they always want more
Something would've told me that I front more
Can't I even rest
I've been thinking more than you think dawg
Even though i got sore chest
You don't know half of the shit
Just maybe if you got a pass on that shit
Cause this shit passed an abyss
Level with me if you gonna step
Shit, you gonna regret
[Verse 2:TLP]
With the violence
Corrugated irons
The pain that my mind in
I just couldn't take much more
Supposed to be close to you and to call ya my home
Instead here I'm left all alone
They ask me who I hate:
Guess that's simple
Shit that make my feelings cripple
Who I love; yo that's easy
Both answers are me
A walking paradox
But you see the TLP steeze
Made me hammer plots
Like
(Brrrrrr)
I'm a dam mess
That's what I keep thinking
But then I get real pensive, kill foundations, keep digging
Yet I wanna think good thoughts so I keep living
Cross on my neck yet I keep sinning
Middle finger to those who made me lose faith in this love game
Losing patience, motherfuckas thinking that I'm the dam same
As these other cats, can't you see
We a different breed
Different leagues!
Without a doubt no doubt can get to me!
[Chorus 2:TLP]
Tryna get a dollar to the name
Cure all the pain
Hah, same way
They tell me no
Even in a different lane I'd still try to make y'all change
So nothing'd really stay the same
They tell me no
They they they tell me no
They they they tell me no
They they they tell me no
[Verse 3: Anzio and TLP]
Attentive thinking
With a master
And I finna catch him blinking
Cause he's off guard shrinking
And that's what we do as a breed
With minds of old seeds
Causing ruckus
On these ma'fuckers
Making twenty of 'em bleed
Tend to think twice
Cause the first don't suffice
Jesus Christ
Many of us can't be right
Right?
Might it be the authorities
Can't you see it's all of these
Be ready to pay the fees
That's the fucking proper key
Uh
Firm grip on my fears hoping I release
Nigga going through wars just to get an inch of piece
Pledge allegiance
To my motives
So I could not get emotion
But I cannot just be holding
Deep
Deep thoughts swimming through my mind
Running outta of time
Hoping I make it before a flat line
But I got mine
Sure that I'll just be fine
Finding guidance in my lines
Other people don't get it right
Right
[Chorus 3: Anzio]
Many of us try to get it right
Might I be the one to say
I am right
They tell me no
Never do I say that I'm the best
Keep it real from all the rest
You know that people know these test
They tell me no
They they they tell me no
They they they tell me no
They they they tell me no
