If there was one message that you wanted to get across with this album the law of diminishing returns what would it be
I've got to think exactly how I word it
I'd say the message would be stay true to your self
Stay confident in your craft you know
Don't let outside noise sway you in what ever you're doing
Started as a youngin tryna make a name
Possessed with a passion ain't no saving Cain
Niggas flipped and played it gangsta when the danger came
Only cuz the life that we living be dealing major pain
Haunted by my demons that had kept me under
If I never seen em coming shit I really wonder
Woke up with a dream of my heights to be
Looking for that inner child who steady playing hide n seek
But that child's tryna act like a man
Never caring for a mother f*ckin slap on the hand
In the alleys late fighting tryna cash him a gram
Marqui speeding off then he went and crashed ina van
Realizing all that growing makes him half of a man
I was a writing and forgetting throwing trash in the can
Only focused on the image that these people would see
Hadda dream of living rapping how to master the plan
Uh
Tell me how long till I'm satisfied
Will these dreams take flight
Will the air above be sweeter
Will I wish on the path But it's now when it's last
Every scar on me is part of the design
It's all perspective
I was down up on my luck and really fell doom
Kdot when he was screaming in hotel rooms
The world folding as I knew it lemme tell you
People close to me had lost it all ina fell swoop
And my mind inside was burning up like hell do
I was looking asking god for a blues clue
But all that I could find was a blue noose
The best be going through the most that shit is set in stone
And all this isn't gonna matter when I'm dead and gone
Figured
Ima write long as my head is on
But I ain't releasing nothing but the perfect song
Spending hours making verses that Id soon destroy
Depreciation make it worse and I was losing joy
First to serve up on this earth and I would soon avoid
Becoming just another statistic being consumed by noise
Tell me how long till I'm satisfied
Will these dreams take flight
Will the air above be sweeter
Will I wish on the path But it's now when it's last
Every scar on me is part of the design
Me n abu sat down he was making a beat
I was dreaming that these studios would save me a seat
Him producing and me rapping but it never could work
Tryna make the perfect song put it right in the dirt
We was working with a purpose then the shit would get burnt
Years spent mind infested with diminished returns
Call it writers block for me and feared mind
Or another for my brother he was ear blind
We both f*ckin had it seen the years fly
Once we got it moving it had everybody teary eyed
Wanna be a star like I'm jay up in jamiroquai
Jigga be a peer of mine
I Hear em in the ear of mine
But dreams never come if you don't set it into action
Was it time I wasted that I dedicate to rapping
Mastering the craft had me on a track I'm snapping
We ain't reach the destination so bout we bout to see what happens
Tell me how long till I'm satisfied
If these dreams take flight
Will the air above be sweeter
Cause I'm above then below
Let these blessings flow beyond what I know
Into our revival
Perspective
(Find your inner child)
The child within you lives he's playing a constant game of hide and seek
But he's waiting on you
He's waiting on you to discover him once again
