Joel Matthew - Where Do I Start Lyrics

Awe man, where do I start
It's a lot different topics trynna pull me apart
It's a lot of different people trynna front on my art
But bitch I've been dope what the f*ck did u thought
And yep this shit's produced by me
I waited a long time to tell u who I be
Had to work a 9-5 plus a 7-3
Cuz I needed the overtime making sure I'd eat
Had to earn my pennies the harder way
Feels like the real me started fading away
Cuz I really need to ball in the mall all day
So it's fate that JM is reverse MJ
Now that I said that, watch em cut my wings off
But I'll be god damned if they cut my dreams off
Little motherf*cker too tough won't be soft
And B I can see you on my D, so ease off
Look at how I shine baby
You can see the glare when you looking at me
Gotta stop and stunt just to keep up on a front
To hide how insecure that we all really be
That's why we go to school, and that's why we go to court
That's why we with the ones that we don't really want
Ya'll can settle for less, but I gotta get mine
A goddamn cubicle ain't a place that I can shine
Shine on is what my cousin told me
Right before they shot his ass in the middle of the street
Now he was lucky to live
And I'm lucky he did
Cuz the life I live, wouldn't be the same without the kid

With the world on fire, I don't know where to go
But that's all right cuz I'm on fire and I already know
If I don't bleed
Then I won't grow
My life ain't gonna freeze
Now my dreams alive and I'm alright, cuz that's all I need
