Jefe Yung E - True To Myself

Out of sight and outta mind only works when your heart ain't in it
Lately feel like master P how my records got no limits
Couple people that I lost when I was losing now I'm winning
Only rolling with a few that was here from the beginning
I remember when I first started rapping
Mom and pops didn't support I could feel them start to maden
But they ain't know that this was more than a dream
From the outside looking in, It's so easy it seems
I got that old school flow, Sum like Ye with soul
Said I ain't selling my soul, don't try to act like you know
Might keep my neck full of gold, but this Jewelry ain't the goal
I reinvent myself so I could never plateau
And don't you play with flat toes, better stay on your feet
Cause I'm coming for it all, like the feds did sweep
And I ain't leave no survivors, pain deep like scuba divers
Said we coming from the cord that's the place that you could find us
Small city kid but I been destined for greatness
Would say I call my shots but I been serving the greatest
He told me bout his plan, but I'm just needin' some patience
God's timing over mine, I'm content with the waiting
I get so caught up in my future, forgetting about the present
The fact I'm on this song means I got the greatest present
The breath of life, got to see another day
We got the same twenty-four, don't you let it waste away
I keep it true to myself, they gone follow
Going up just like apollo, I been sticking to the motto
Had to get it out the mud, we ain't have no one to follow
I keep it true to myself, they gone follow
Going up just like apollo, I been sticking to the motto
Had to get it out the mud, we ain't have no one to follow
Circle went through some subtraction then the money went through addition
I feel my time is coming in my soul premonition
I used to be a sheep but I grew tired of being victim
Went from solider to lieutenant off the strength of lyricism
But it wasn't without a price, my grandfather was bedridden
Reality of this word made my skin start the thicken
I'm tryna feed my people, ima need a couple million
Money ain't the motivation, but without it you ain't living
You just surviving, which is something that I refuse to do
Day I lose my faith, gone prolly be my funeral
Not dwelling on the past that's the thing that I used to do
Ain't no more going round and round like a hula hoop
Said you ain't gotta worry no more
I got the whole family wouldn't say it for show
Might take a Lil time but I'm staying the course
Anything you ever wanted ima tell you of course
Shoutout the mixtape days, you know the name then you're a real one
Stop talking bout that deal, I won't sign one
I ain't gone lose my soul for a million
Verbal Glock, I let it sing, I'm tryna kill sum
Conflicted state of mind of an adolescent
Don't trip up on the past no point in obsessing
You gone try and you gone fail, don't fear the rejection
Turned the loses to a dub I call It progression
Said I wanna be like Ye rapping on the soul beats
If you think I'm finna stop you gone have to kill me
Graduation on the way nobody could hold me
From each and everything God said I'm gone be
Gildan on my tee, slim fit, keep it fitted
Rock the five dollar tee, I ain't tripping about no linen
Promise I won't stop until the whole family winning
Kept it true to myself, thank the lord for what was given
