I got to focus and make changes/chasing greatness calls for rearrangements/I had to learn patience/knew I was great but I had to be gracious/I'm thinking spacious no limitations/I'm sick of waiting a closed mouth don't get fed there's no debating so stop hating/the mark I'm making well that's long overdue/I had to leave the many to succeed with the few/ see what y'all do Is just follow the leader/I'd rather follow the beat until it leaves the speaker/walk on my own beat in my size 12 sneaker/ with no trust living without emotions is a must/nowadays about me myself and I cause there's no us/our leaders dying our leader's lying/best friends turn enemies without trying/ y'all thinking about dollars I'm thinking about surviving/I'm thinking hip hop music needs more reviving/labels got y'all acting like monkeys while they reclining/no evidence content they just rhyming/ same materialistic crap that's over hyped and/ I'm more frightened than enlightened/I see a turn for the worse/ not in the music but that's how society works/it's no accountability no responsibility/everybody want tranquillity/ it's just false hope for you and me/it's just false hope how life's supposed to be/
Chorus
Trying to take control/ trying to be bold/ feeling so old aye/ cold outside/ living in a world so cold 2x
The harder you work the more you get deceived/the more I believe the more I can achieve/the more I doubt the more I get deceived/trying to be honest honesty's a rarity/it's the rapping introvert I don't mix and mingle/ I knew the facts of life before Tootie was living single/we need change but not the kind that jingles/I wanna make music and make ear drums tingle/but in this racket I'm chasing wealth/we sometimes lose all since of our self/ pride won't let us ask for help/ it's like we damaging our own mental health/the reaction we choosing profit over passion/thrown rocks hiding our hands don't know what happened/ I'm a soldier and you can't break my armour/ ever realize the one that hurt you don't believe in karma it's cold chorus"
