[al:二缺大大人]
[00:00.00]
[00:07.64]
[00:12.23]
[00:17.82] ……
[00:36.11] Stuck in the same room in the same mood
[00:38.41] Everybody tried to tell me what I can't do
[00:40.46] Everybody tried to tell me that I changed too
[00:42.59] And I changed lanes from you lame dudes
[00:44.34] It's been a minute since I spilled my pain
[00:46.15] Had to take a step back and look at life in a different way
[00:48.38] If you want the change, you gotta be the change
[00:51.20] Now we're all the same
[00:53.20] Nobody wanna take the reins, nobody wanna push their brain
[00:55.92] Nobody will admit that they're fake for the facts they claim
[00:58.34] You see we're all imperfect in a perfect way
[01:00.36] And while we work all day, we're all work no play
[01:02.21] We're slaved to the loans and the bills we pay
[01:04.31] You consume a double cheese when the radio play
[01:06.41] Mainstream, Mickey D's and my shit gourmet
[01:08.33] I've been up for seven days straight
[01:10.73] Trying to figure out my fate
[01:12.30] Trying to figure out any way to put food on my plate
[01:14.37] But I sold a few tee's so I'm eating today
[01:16.55] Okay, I'm doing okay, could probably do better
[01:19.10] Came home to a letter, eviction
[01:20.55] I know I don't fit your description of a rapper
[01:22.53] But me I'm a clearer, they threw all the cheddar
[01:24.82] I know everything that glitter ain't gold
[01:26.73] Life is the clay, you too busy to mold
[01:28.86] Time here is taking it's toll
[01:30.29] We spend all our time without passion and then we get old
[01:32.54] Was told, I should go quit
[01:34.22] But none of you see all the letters I get from these kids
[01:36.31] Who hurt from within and don't wanna live
[01:38.46] And tell me my music is all that can give them hope
[01:42.29] Yeah, all we need it some hope
[01:44.51] And they tell me their family's broken and broke
[01:46.54] They using my music to cope
[01:48.10] I've been on that boat, held down by a rope
[01:50.50] Held down by a string, y'all looking for things
[01:52.14] I'm looking to change the perception of people and all of the beautiful things that it brings
[01:56.16] Yeah, record in my closet, don't make enough profit
[01:58.43] Y'all used to have morals and somehow you lost it
[02:00.50] Don't care about the money I spend on my coffin
[02:02.44] I care bout the people attending
[02:04.43] And often we're lost, lost in this world
[02:06.36] We're selfish to think, I could find happiness in a girl
[02:08.50] We're selfish to think we're elite, we destroy and deplete
[02:10.93] Our whole planet no smarter than squirrels
[02:12.67] So who wants to talk about that? Who wants to talk about facts
[02:15.61] Maybe I'd be in your mag if I added tunechi or bap-bap
[02:18.39] Or I talked about weed when I rap
[02:20.17] But **** all of that, the voice of the youth
[02:22.19] The voice of the people, the real and the truth
[02:24.20] The voice of the one who had nothing to lose
[02:26.80] I speak for a heart that's been broken and beaten and bruised
[02:28.53] I'm tired of holes in my shoes
[02:30.17] Tired of having to move, tired of coming unglued
[02:32.63] Tired of cleaning your table and serving you food
[02:35.70] We are what we choose, if only you knew the shit that I've seen
[02:38.74] I can't tell if I'm lucid or living the dream
[02:40.55] I don't do it for me, do it all for the team
[02:42.50] I remember back living when I was a teen
[02:44.60] And my grandma she said I was worthless
[02:46.41] And my teachers said I had no purpose
[02:48.45] And my mama she said I was perfect
[02:50.22] I'm sitting on Twitter while I should be working on verses
[02:52.15] You're worth it, and when you feel weak
[02:54.23] The deeper the trench, the higher the peak
[02:56.18] See y'all are a piece of my legacy
[02:57.42] Cause you believe we can be anything and I wanna be... me
