100G - If I Didn't

I remember there's so many times on my journey where my vision was getting blocked
I was in school and I knew I could be doing more
My teachers were telling me no. My dreams were put on hold
I was told to just go get a job. Stop working towards what I want to be working towards. Don't focus on my craft, don't work, and I would bro. I would do those things, I would just stop
Dreaming. I would bro
Yo, ayy
That's if I didn't have this talent and I didn't know I had it
If my visions weren't global, if I still wasn't at it
But look, yo, there's an at it to you and an at it to me
I add and subtract and deny my defeat I'll provide some relief
I'm refined and elite you cannot even see half the guy I can be
Yo you nervous around her she actin' shy around me
Yo, it's all your energy when you supply your own beats
I support the opposition, put the fire on me
And if I find no competition, I'll defy my own feats
They say you won't be, your comments are something I don't see
Forgotten then lonely yet so free.
Yo, evoking since 03, provoking the whole scene
The dope thing, you know that you can never show me
I'm authenticated with the cadence, call my homies
A detriment is discipline, I work only
And I'm trying to work with Jaden, so it's hopefully
Noticed that I ain't playing like I feel like it's supposed to be
So humble and patient, just waitin' 'til they toast to me
For now, I go no phone to see who's really close to me
So the only time you see me is when I'm at the grocery
But I'm reserving my character quite devotedly
You should've heard the way he spoke to me
Yo, he disrespect me openly
Yo, just because I am who he can hope to be
Like he never considers that he ever could take a note from me
I tell him, hit me when you got something dope to see
Hit me on my iPhone 43, he wanted style
He should've recorded me, there's so much more to me
And so I cordially invite you on this journey
Cause there's so much more to see
And It's not that far over
It's not that far over
It's not that far over
Come and see
Yo, but it's not to be fought over
Not to be fought over
It's not to be fought over, let it be
I said it's not that far over
It's not that far over
It's not that far over, come and see
Yo, but it's not to be fought over
Not to be fought over
It's not to be fought over, let it be
Yo, but really bro
But I don't care about the distance, I'm there in all conditions
I share the recognition
It's apparent that they're arrogant but they're about to listen
I stare at them and glare at them but now I only glisten
A Christian, all of these messages being mixed in
I've already popped the pills, I'm just waiting for them to kick in
You do not really want it bro, you do not know discipline
Hit my line happy to dip, you don't know what you're missing
You go wherever you think, you become what you envision
I'm envisioning the top and landing on it with precision
I'm on gigantic stages yet we're kept in mental cages
Government does not enable us, they prefer us all in prison
But listen to my truth and undergo a liberation
There's a way out of all of the problems that you're facing
Stay in the present moment, experience inhalation
Serious dedication meets incredible patience
I MDMA but I think that the homie laced it
If I didn't have his talent, maybe I'd be more complacent
Double not a base hit, income far from basic
CTT with greatness, think it's time that I embrace it
Cheap thrills was steady chasing, while talent's being wasted
Prideful while never listen, mistakes were being maken
Side stepping my creation, give in to my temptations
Now I write bars to alter the minds of a generation
God was like, yo finally where were you I was waiting
Was stuck inside the matrix, to me it didn't make sense
Working so I could pay rent, my heart was hollow vacant
But for me to speak outside of it, I needed to escape it
So look now I had done it, surrounded by abundance
You ask me what's the wrong decision, tell you either one is
Now I'm screaming from the summit that the reason for the plummet is
So you can deconstruct, reassess and then keep on running
Yo it's not that far
Said it's not that far
Yo, ay, said it's not that far
Yo, ay, said it's not that far
That's if I didn't
