[Verse]
All the niggaz I started with are apparently missing, playing the victim
Still in position admitting while I'm swaying the system
Devoted time you're demoted when I rhyme and
You prolly wouldn't be around if you knew what I was climbing
I'm finding, who you love don't ever feel the same
Get the feeling of giving up and then I wheel again
It's been a long time coming, wrong time running
Late how they relate when we ain't cousins
Audio, video, soul through Vimeo
Still they want to cut a light short like Arsenio
Tryna move a diamond when physical going digital
Love the underground but I'm feeling hypocritical
The minute I touch it, any season I'm known to cuff it
I rap a circle around'em and hit a target in public
Shit I fall in a subject, got a problem escaping
The people I'm looking up to are looking down from a haven
Rooting and waving, know that violence ain't the answer
But credit ain't ever given I raise the ceiling I'm shaving
I give the feeling amazing, live to give'em adjacent
Unbreakable native minerals while in interval pacing
Readily waiting, before the shot I'm bound to jump
I was looking out the crib had it going out the trunk
Everybody want to live, nobody in the front?!
This my function imma give'em what they want
Mama told me don't trust'em and everybody ain't a friend
I don't even got a hand that I could lend
Niggaz gravitate to what they know is fitting in
For that and that alone I guarantee that imma win
This my story everybody getting stuck
Hol' Up, I'm tryn chill 'fore they slow my bucks
I was looking at the top, in disgust
Take it off the block then it's just us
Proper Movement my attire, mic I Michael a Myer
That designer attire ain't showing nothing but a liar
Black Glovez when the lights go
Welcome to the light show
