More or Less Video (MV)

What if I told you this could be over?
I just can't bare to hear you say
Let's take it steady
One day you'll let me
But not till we're ready
But, ready is always too late

Tell me if it's something that you're lacking
Or something you need
I've been putting in all this effort
This is something to me
I can't deny it, I've been looking for more
Putting aside all my feelings
Cause in this life, it's just not worth it no more
I've been focusing my attention on the timing it takes
I think I'm finally catching a break, woah
Surprised cause I'm down for as long as it takes, woah
I was told if you're good with the time, then it's fate
I'm learning that patience is really needed in an industry like this
And like this, development's feared
And people are fake, posing as peers
Cause it's better for them to hear when you making plans
They livin' in fear, and they know that you're near
It's a typical mindset and it's sad
Competing with niggas out of your class
Stay back and witness a great mind
I'm coming into my time, they ask
Do you wanna be the best?
More or less

What if I told you this could be over?
I just can't bare to hear you say
Let's take it steady
One day you'll let me
But not till we're ready
But, ready is always too late

Yeah
Lately I've been thinking of the past
And what is done in the present
Like building a fickle mind
From trials and all our lessons
From our adolescence to our present minds
Learning to appreciate my thoughts
And how it's streaming through time
I was so young, how would I know this
I wouldn't notice
I broke bread with niggas that I didn't notice
Was Judas and I feel ashamed
But give myself grace
Cause even Jesus did and I'm alive
But still I'm breathing at pace
This is different when it hits
But still I'm amused
I was living my life pissed
I was hot like a fuse, I had nothing
My father was gone
My mother and siblings were too distant
I resorted to songs
All I found was jagged pieces of love
A broken kid with a broken heart
It sucked but it was better than none
So I hope you understand
All the pictures I paint
I'm not sitting here posing a saint
This is me

What if I told you this could be over?
I just can't bare to hear you say
Let's take it steady
One day you'll let me
But not till we're ready
But, ready is always too late

Yeah
The hardest thing is not the effort
But what you get in return
Like Booker going for 40 but loses
The feeling burns
And I understand the process and the practice
Building your strength and building your mind
For some moments in time
This shit is timeless man, historical facts
Like Jordan and Pippen in 97
And they running it back
A subtle thing that's called practice
Still some are confused
Others spend their time looking for muse
Without a clue that they just gimmicks
Jealous of the attention
Others mimic their actions
And how they thinking
Not understanding they sinking
This is stupid thinking
And with it you're finished
You gotta change your mind
And change your thoughts
It's harder if you're not taught
And so I empathize
But shit you gotta change
No benefits thinking you're real
Because you stay the same
You gotta change
It's necessary for growth
It's something of higher value
And something to know
For real

What if I told you this could be over?
I just can't bare to hear you say
Let's take it steady
One day you'll let me
But not till we're ready
But, ready is always too late
