lyrics

Now it ain't never been that hard to tell the truth /
but honestly the truth ain't always easy to pursue /
I mean to me today I swear to you Im feeling pretty cool /
but a week from now might find a needle in my arm and fatass holes up in my shoe bc I know that I been there before /
so how I know that cool just ain't the start a slippy slope /
like Im on my tippy toe, peaking reaching for some hope /
but the walls are falling faster and I'm sinking and my boat can't even float /
I mean I'm thinking that the point in trying to make /
that I got a different kinda truth from day to day /
like a different shade of gray turn my brain a different way /
instead of staring at the sky I put one foot up in the grave and start to wave at all the people and the places got me thinking that the way is knowing each and every face and planning every conversation and it's truly complicating shit that ain't that hard,
lay awake n stomach achin takin hate that far/
some days I wake up feeling great /
write a verse bout being grateful for the food up on my plate /
some days I wake up in the dumps/
write a verse bout murder suicide and razor blade cuts/
some days I wake up feelin pissed/
write a verse but how ima killa leave em bleeding in a ditch /
most days I wake up feelin cocky, talking hella shit like they ain't neva gonna stop me /
whats your mind like?

Now tell me how I'm sposed to reconcile that? I refuse to cultivate an image even though in rap, without an image you ain't relatable enough and for the fans, you either in a pigeon hole end up body bag, I mean ok it ain't that serious, don't mean to dramatize, but the truth is I refuse to tell em lies, and if my music never blows the compromise is at least that I was honest with myself, I mean I tried / Lord I tried, fourth mixtape, of course I shyed from MakinG music that I couldn't stand behind / still poured my mind, whether it was twisted up inside, by a sickening addiction or my ego or my pride or even when my momma died, i still had music to make. It just looked a little different than my mood is today / but that don't mean that tracks but snorting smack off a plate is any less real than conscious shit bout truth in the game/ so who am I today? my clothes are clean and I cuss/ I'm 25 years old still write graffiti on the bus / I love my girl I love my dog / I hate the fuckin mayor but I love the city and the fog / and I love to rap and write even if no one listen I don't see no end in sight/ and if you Playin this and really can't vibe with that, I'm really doin it for me so yo I'm fine with that . whats your mind like?
