Back when I was a young boy
I didn't know that I could be bringing joy
So I just sat and I hid away
Far away and I hid my face
Then I started turning to music
Playing the drums was therapeutic
I wanted to be in a rock band
I wanted to be in one so bad
Me and my homies made a few bands but they fell through
But they fell through
But then I met ka$h and then I made beats and then I knew
Then I knew
Hip hop was the life for me
It came in at my lowest see
I heard "rock bottom"
And related so much it made me see
That if I started rapping and captivating an audience
Then maybe fabricating some money so I don't starve and s**t
Wouldn't be so hard to achieve
And I could move right on past my old past
So I could make people believe in me
And see what I see
Now people coming to me
Asking for a feature for free
I wish I could do it and best believe me
I love all the fans but some of you crazy
I never thought that I would've had
A platform like this to pave my own path
Yeah everyone saw me but they just look past
But now they all come back cause I'm making cash
If you wanna get high just say so
If you wanna get high just say so
I got some people relying on me
So I cannot fail
I cannot fail
I carry they weight of the load
And it's breaking the scale
Breaking the scale
I'm not wanting to die so lay low
I'm not wanting to die so lay low
I got some people that feel the need
To come up to me
Bring me up to speed
But they will never get my attention
I will not listen I will not listen
I don't wanna
Know what it's like
To live my whole life
As one giant lie
So then I back up
And soon I let off
But right as I do
I have a new thought
People don't want to mess with me
Because they will see my enemies
Fried like some burnt rice krispies
When I first entered into high school
I knew that I was not a cool kid
I never got invited to parties that had the liquid
I wasn't in that scene cause on the outside I was rigid
But these twisted thoughts made me write some lines so vivid
But now people are coming to me
Cause they want the bread and I have the cheese
But I would just squeeze their head
With a three plus three plus three that is a nine
This is a sign that there is a line
You better not cross it or there goes your life
You better not cross it or there goes your life
Reach under the seat cause he has a knife
As soon as he spoke on my family
He should have known that there goes his life
He should have known that there goes his life
But now it's too late and he's gonna die
Everyone look away lord forgive me please I pray
Today is the day he's in my scope
He shouldn't have spoke
S**t
I don't wanna
Know what it's like
To live my whole life
As one giant lie
So then I back up
And soon I let off
But right as I do
I have a new thought
People don't want to mess with me
Because they will see my enemies
Fried like some burnt rice krispies
One thing that I noticed about
All these people was a common theme
It was their mindset
They're problem solvers
They're optimistic thinkers
Where your mind is helps fuel your career
And it helps you change the world
We can't control our circumstances
But we can control how we handle our circumstances
Part 2：thank you
We were in a band now I miss the times we jammed
Crammed in the back of car with all the cheap guitars
"Here to mars" playing on the truck's s**tty radio
Here we go now it's off to college to obtain knowledge
The carnage ensued upon my mind
Luckily I wasn't blind and you weren't either
We didn't need a teacher
And we don't need a preacher
Neither you or I knew we'd end up here but f**k it I love it
So you talked to michael and began the path you walked
Still we talked I'd watch you like a hawk
Finally I gained the courage to talk
On a beat called life of a king
Still I sing about my wine stained teeth
Now isn't that neat
It's you who inspired me to rise to my feet
And put words to a beat
So I just wanna say thank you
You've changed my view
And for that I didn't think twice about that 2x feature
To teach the woman beater a lesson no question
We killed him no smith and wesson
I'm guessing I'm gonna to have to spell it out for everyone
So I have his back 'till the day that I drop dead
So watch where the f**k you tread
So I have his back 'till the day that I drop dead
So watch where the f**k you tread
If you wanna get high just say so
If you wanna get high just say so
I got some people relying on me
So I cannot fail
I cannot fail
I carry they weight of the load
And it's breaking the scale
Breaking the scale
I'm not wanting to die so lay low
I'm not wanting to die so lay low
I got some people that feel the need
To come up to me
Bring me up to speed
But they will never get my attention
I will not listen I will not listen
I'm back again and my wicked pen is here to condemn
Any motherf**ker who wanna get it
For my family is what's important to me
Don't you get it twisted
I told you I'm about it to get up out it
And still you doubt it
Seth has done it he's already
Won it this rap s**ts done had it
He's carried me at my lowest
For that he is my closest friend
I'll never forget to extend a hand
To the man who's the reason I can stand and say this today
Convey thank you letters in this lyrical way
He's the reason I had s**t to say
And to this day he remains a friend
And together we're going to set the trends
As soon as this year ends we'll have millions to spend
And don't you dare come to me saying that we were close
That just goes to show you don't know as much as you think you do
D**n that sounds like deja vu
Stay the f**k away I'll watch you decay as I fill my ashtray
We're paving pathways with thoughts
That outweigh you're pathetic mind
If you wanna get high just say so
If you wanna get high just say so
I got some people relying on me
So I cannot fail
I cannot fail
I carry they weight of the load
And it's breaking the scale
Breaking the scale
I'm not wanting to die so lay low
I'm not wanting to die so lay low
I got some people that feel the need
To come up to me
Bring me up to speed
But they will never get my attention
I will not listen I will not listen
And I was now able to put ideas to this paper
That I had been jotting around ideas with
And now
And it made me realize that this was something special
This was a lot bigger than I had anticipated
