Am I good enough?
Am I built for the big stage?
I can't pretend I ain't been phased
When they overlook me, and claim I'm a rookie
They're putting shackles on a cheap slave
Don't disrespect all my intellect
I've dropped my issues on the internet
And I really wish that I didn't, and honestly I cannot ask them to give it back
Thought I was good enough
Thought I was hood enough
Cause I was raised in the setting
Of drug addiction, f*cking up the vision of a young king
Man my heart was missing
For like 5 years during adolescence
But I got it back
And I slapped depression, through the face
I don't wanna jinx it
So I'll never tell you that I have dismissed it
Cause sometimes it pops up when I am alone
Sometimes it pops up when I'm on the phone
Sometimes it pops up when I'm in my zone
The root of my problems are inside my home
I pick up my crown though, but I carry it
Gripped to my palm though
Got it stuck to my hand
For the moment, I know that you'll find it so sad
I do not deserve to wear that crown on my head
With that being said, my self esteem low
My hate is too high, I struggle to grow
Anxiety comes and it f*cks up my flow
Though I f*cked up the flow
They still f*ck with the flow
Everybody I know, prolly wants me to stay sad
The tape's happy, so the tape's bad
They don't want me to grow, but I get it
They're used to sadness, and I understand that
But... let me grow
Let me know, if I'm doing this shit just for nothing
Cause I've been at it, and there hardly is loving
I swear my demons used to come in a dozen
Then multiply until there's hundreds of dozens
Was - never alone, was always surrounded
Although if the room I was in was just empty
There was a time that I just really would envy
The people who got it together, and blowed up
Cause there was a show nobody had showed up
Except for Yvette and a friend, man it's magic
But where were my homies, you know what? Forget it
I'm tired already
You know that I'm grinding, that's although my mind has been deadly
Bet nobody knows this, but after that show
I swear i went home, to the studio
And sat there and teared up a little, I swear I ain't proud
I'll wait for the day to say "Look At Me Now"
Empty seats, but I got you as my crowd
You'll show up forever, and you will be loud
Enough to show me you love me
That's why if one day I'm roaming the country
And way beyond it, swear I'm taking you with me
You make me feel like I can do this til 50
Way beyond it, telling my truth
Staying honest, educating the youth
Cause I've been as lost as the kids
But I guess it's time to turn the losses to win
So I... thought I'd be begin with a special announcement
I'm dropping my merch with a CD
I'm working hard and although nobody sees me,
The aim was never to end up on the TV
And brag about riches to millions of people
The aim was to send us the message, we're equal
With that being said, I would make it in life
If I spend my days out here changing a life
I'm changing my life, although I've been through it
I do not care if you don't follow the movement
Or if you don't fill up a seat up at my shows
You honestly think this is it and I won't go a little further?
Dawg don't be too certain
"He's gonna die out when his mental state worsens"
You're probably hate when I spill out my guts
I'll admit it, sometimes it's a little too much
But I'm telling my truth, I do not ever sugarcoat
Used to beg for somebody to save me
But hey mama, look what my mind has just made me
Like 1000 streams from my mind, shit is crazy
Don't tell me I'm lazy
Cause I'm working harder than most of these niggas you praise at the altar
But I will admit, that it could play it smarter
The ego ain't big anymore, it just altered
A little bit
Happiness is a prerequisite
If you ain't contributing, you're probably erased
You switched up your ways you thought I ain't phased
I am
I wake up and wish that I was asleep
Hands on my chest, I can hardly breathe
Before I get to start my day, there's a cloud in my way
And the devil would start with me
I got the heart of the legends I grew up to know
But the past would make you drift apart from me
I guess I'm fake, because I choose my artistry over the partying
Shit, this is blasphemy
I guess I'm tired of all the drama, put that on my mama
Put that on my granny, and tell her I love her
The day that you meet her in Hev' too
I'll probably never get the chance to
Tell her I loved the advice, cause I'll never see heaven
I doubt I believe it exists
I used to spend all my nights cleaning my wrists, from blood
Now I got the cleanest of wrists
I've got the cleanest of
