[00:04.05] | What do you think people see when they look at you? |
[00:11.54] | Look |
[00:13.15] | You see our gold chains and our flashy cars |
[00:15.97] | I see a lack of self worth and I see battle scars |
[00:19.9] | He has to be with twenty man when he wears jewelry |
[00:22.11] | And you see it as gangster, I see it as insecurity |
[00:25.1] | Where I'm from, everybody wants to make it out |
[00:28.33] | But nobody wants to see somebody make it out |
[00:31.59] | It ain't about who came around but more about who stayed around |
[00:34.57] | Behind the scenes, they said God gave us eyes to see |
[00:37.80] | You see the video vixens and all their pearly whites |
[00:40.98] | But you don't see the dirty nights, long days and early flights |
[00:44.32] | You see the deals and think all these rappers laughing now |
[00:47.33] | But you don't get that if we weren't already, we're a target now |
[00:50.2] | You see, all the groupie girls and think they're heaven sent |
[00:53.49] | I see twenty-five minutes worth of empty *** |
[00:56.52] | To tell a lie, it wasn't my intention to objectify |
[00:59.67] | But I can testify, I've seen some **** you couldn't rectify |
[01:02.84] | You see this industry where everybody came up |
[01:06.27] | I see a bag of weird rappers and some fake love |
[01:09.31] | Fake handshakes and fake spuds with fake comments |
[01:12.53] | Where everybody covers costs but never pays homage |
[01:15.91] | The scene turned on me, people tryna ruin me |
[01:18.68] | Where most would see a problem, I'm seeing an opportunity |
[01:22.1] | To drop a freestyle and kill them ****** that were booing me |
[01:25.16] | I made my haters watch and put the screw inside of scrutiny |
[01:28.25] | Beautifully, also, if I am attending |
[01:31.21] | Security's coming first like I was trying to shop at Duty Free |
[01:34.44] | Where the ****’s the unity? |
[01:36.8] | Where I come from there's no class, forget truancy |
[01:39.10] | We have got nowt in common |
[01:41.17] | Them ****** see a molehill and make a mountain from it |
[01:43.98] | They see a Cuban and a whip, I see a house deposit |
[01:47.9] | How to stop it? |
[01:48.11] | ****** saw keys and went to trial for shottin' |
[01:50.31] | I saw keys, learned to play, and made thousands from it |
[01:53.58] | You see the club poppin' when we do the show |
[01:56.58] | But you don't see the studio, my life is not a movie, bro |
[01:59.89] | Champagne bottles and all the screaming girls |
[02:02.85] | It's ironic how you'll never hear a scream for help |
[02:06.18] | ******' hell, why do you think we're going through the same thing? |
[02:09.9] | Depression when you make it, the pressure and the hatred |
[02:12.29] | Your people talk about you, you can't say **** |
[02:14.99] | The moment that you ain't it |
[02:16.45] | The labels are looking for replacements |
[02:18.64] | Same ****, people start forgetting what you've done for them |
[02:21.70] | Everyone in music's gonna take until there's nothing left |
[02:24.78] | Your fans are switching up on you |
[02:26.58] | And they don't know how tough it gets |
[02:32.75] | Reading through your old comments, trying to feel some love again |
[02:31.7] | I see karma |
[02:32.48] | Go to work but God schemes harder |
[02:34.61] | I heard success can come quickly but it leaves faster |
[02:37.99] | Secrets are what my enemies have been after |
[02:41.14] | Only L's I'm hiding in my closet have a V after |
[02:57.77] | So looking at from another perspective, playing devil's advocate |
[03:02.85] | Considering you know you're obviously becoming famous, so to speak |
[03:07.18] | But you still deal with a lot of issues on a human level |
[03:09.82] | Do you ever just sit and wonder about the stories behind the people you meet day by day? |
[03:15.56] | Does it make you feel grateful, in a weird way, for your life and problems? |
[00:04.05] | What do you think people see when they look at you? |
[00:11.54] | Look |
[00:13.15] | You see our gold chains and our flashy cars |
