Waves

[Verse 1]
I think of lyrics and write them, then other people recite them
Been under pressure like water, inside a fire hydrant
I was dying in this game, until I broke the silence
I'm a stubborn motherfucker, odds know I'm defiant
No-one does what I did, they're not bold enough to try it
I'm the underdog, yeah, rooting for The Fighting Irish
I'm not finished until I'm flying to private islands
I know my enemies see me when they close their eyelids
This ain't the average life, balance out the plus and minus
Tryna get a gold record, so they call me Unkle Midas
Try not to bite this, I'm out here to light the fires
Of creativity within a generation of writers
Who grew up with this rap shit, now I'm getting some traction
Now I'm reaching the masses, when it's mixed and it's mastered
Was inspired by Cube, my records buy em' in twos
Some will never get it, It's like they're forever confused

[Chorus]
Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea
After all that I been through, I still have a dream
Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped
When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch

[Verse 2]
Long as people are listening, to the dude from the QC
Then I'm really and truly fulfilling my duty
As an emcee on a certain level I'm trusted
To make music for people, who are looking for substance
In the records they're bumpin', don't get left in the cold
I've been told I'm a lyricist, like a Kendrick or Cole
Here we go, everybody will be mad at me again
Doesn't matter what I say, doesn't matter what I said
This is my life, so your opinion isn't involved
Getting bigger, people look at me when I am at the mall
Fascinated like they can't believe, they're seeing what they saw
On their smartphones and on their computers at home
You see strategically you probably wouldn't even be seeing me
If I never went balls out, and took on the industry
Yeah I rose to the challenge, my moves, throw to my balance
So many numbers coming in, I need to phone my accountant
And say

[Chorus]
Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea
After all that I been through, I still have a dream
Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped
When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch

[Verse 3]
What's the purpose of 80 verses if nobody heard 'em?
That's what rappers think when they take their careers and desert them
I've seen it time and again, that's why I look up to the Slims
The Shawn Carters, and all the others who just didn't quit
Because defeat is temporary, so I toss a hail mary
People tell me that they pray for me, others want me buried
Either way I'm a savage, with this rap shit, so what's the magic?
While I David Blaine it, levitate your speakers to your attic
Break the fucking shingles off, he's too hard, he's too soft
As a youth I would turn on hip hop and drift off
Now I've got some teens that are looking up to me
And adversaries staring at me through their little screens
Everybodys watching Unk all eyes on me
I grew up on 2Pac I am not afraid to speak
My mind so I do it let the thoughts roll out
I'm sticking to the mission and I'm staying on route

[Chorus]
(Look it!)
Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea
After all that I been through, I still have a dream
Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped
When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch
(Look it!)
Everything is moving, like the waves in the sea
After all that I been through, I still have a dream
Put it all on me, I'm the one, I can not be stopped
When they slow down, I'mma turn it up another notch

[Outro]
Everything is moving
Waves
