Some verses just capture a personal feeling that you can relate to almost 100%, a true epitome of my life.
[Verse 2]
Now I’m thinkin’ in reality (what you thinking)
Actually, I was thinkin’ ’bout stability
I watched my single mother’s feet hurt for years
Just to barely pay the bills –
I don’t know, that shit’s killin’ me
But I don’t wanna live like that
Mama, I don’t wanna see you live like that
I told my little brothers we can build a new life
For the ones that gave us life, we can give that back
I know we tend to hold grudges
I can’t control it, I’m unfolding the emotion that I’m holdin’
Hope the way I saw it ain’t the way I won’t approach it
I’m just focused on the better me, this rap shit is my pedigree (its all i got)
Lately I’ve been feelin’ life testin’ me
She say she down, and she say she wanna ride
Release the need to please or be validated by eyes
In disguise, I’m just focused on what makes me come alive
I’ve learned not to take nothin’ personal
Bad environments have been my disadvantage
Not tryna be accepted, it stepped me out of my box
And now these niggas watch me like I got all of the answers
But this is what I’ve built for myself
Realistic, always had to keep it real with myself
So when they talk, and it’s negative or it’s false
We channel out the negative thoughts without any help
