about

what's been on my mind lately.

lyrics

I'm still pushin poppas whip,
still borrowing from mommas scrips,
xans be helping me deal with shit,
especially since I ain't been smoking for a little bit,
been on drugs since I was a little kid,
realized I was depressed when I was around ten,
struggling to fit in, sense of normalcy I never did get,
Always wondering why I was so different,
I had reduced lunch never quite made it to free,
never felt like anyone could identify with me,
never felt like I had anyone that could see, my true identity, this duality,
my brother played ball so he was always perceived as hooder,
I used big words and was looked at like a do gooder,
never a snooker, the beat butcher, living in the pressure cooker,
I was never white or black enough, just other,
never quite at the top always just under,
grew up now I'm striving to be a world wonder,
show you what I been working on all of these summers,
fruit of my labor, you know I been slavin,
these raps gon sound they from nat turner when you play them,
David walkers appeal, this the real somethin to savor,
striving to be more than the new flavor,
not a savior just a disciple, hold the microphone like a rifle,
bear arms on tracks, give life to the stifled,
standing unrivaled, I run unopposed to claim my rightful title,
check my vitals power level over 9000,
to go against me now would be suicidal,
The God has no time for your trifles,
Tried to catch the wave and got caught up in the tidal,
forces, all these dudes is spittin is horseshit,
thoroughbred right here, I'm not aiming for the Forbes list,
I'm just tryna pay off my parents mortgage,
I will never quit, never forfeit, never settle for just a portion,
cause I want it all,
it's been on my mind for too long
