Prod. Mr. Kooman

lyrics

I hear everything that’s said about me
But all this pain helped me spark the flame
I’ma make you all regret you doubt me
An artist paints through his darkest days
Part of shame is in the thought of reaction
From your friends or the response of the masses
You feel it in you, chemicals are calling for action
But to blow would mean regardless there’s a constant reaction, right?
These songs are therapy, lyrics are physical descriptions
Of the feeling that I’m falling carelessly
If I reach inside my pocket, get my phone
And tried to call my friends I only wonder who would say they’re always there for me?
No sense in dwelling on it, I’m setting sail tomorrow
This life I’m living isn’t quite the shit I felt was promised
If I told you I was leaving would you follow me?
Or fall asleep and pretend this was all a dream?


They said he’s dumb he’s never gonna (make it in this game)
He’s young he’s just gonna take a chance and (waste it all away)
Keep up, dreams come I gotta take it (I’m setting sail today)
Dreams go, please know I gotta chase it (I’m setting sail today)

These aren’t words, nah, it’s an art form
Part hell drawn towards where my faults dwell
Thoughts blend when I start working
Part surgeon operating all morning till hip hop’s well
This is war fare waging inside of me
You couldn’t comprehend how degrading this rhyming seems
I tell them I’m a rapper and they laugh at the sight of me
But they never fucking followed any chance to define their dreams
So take your potshots, hot shot you’re not fooling me
This will not stop all my opportunities
I’m done sitting in self-doubt and pity
I’m hell-bound, embracing what dwells down within me
Sail out the city, farewell now I’m busy
To help out, forget what I said bout this industry
More or less I know I’m destined to sell more
Or better yet, I let em think I’m selling myself short

They said he’s dumb he’s never gonna (make it in this game)
He’s young he’s just gonna take a chance and (waste it all away)
Keep up, dreams come I gotta take it (I’m setting sail today)
Dreams go, please know I gotta chase it (I’m setting sail today)




Every verse is a version of what I live
These aren’t words, it’s as personal as it gets
So you when you disagree when I’m spitting bars
It hits my heart, cause it feels like you were indirectly dissing me
Dramatically jealous but never imagined
They’d say I’m passive aggressive, I’m just aggressively passive
So telling me rapping isn’t a realistic choice
Would elicit an earful, this has given me voice
Funny; that same voice people always neglect
Is gonna serve as a reminder for my constant respect
I’ve given all of my time; I’m working harder for less
So pardon my grind, I know it’s just a part of the quest
