YoungGT - I Don't Wanna Be Another Number

My-
Ly-ri-cal-
De-ve-lop-ment-
Is spiritual-
Poetry,

Pouring out my soul-
Until the brothers is-
No-ti-cing-
And my-
Me-di-cal-
Endeavor-
Is a way of upsetting-
The dirty devil-
Tryna medal-
In a way-
Thats embezzled,

Hoping I can-
Pray to God,

Im praying-
For my squad,
I'm praying to my God-
In avoidance-
Of all-
The fraud,

Im writing-
In my notes,

De-ve-lo-ping-
The quotes,

I'm fighting all the battles-
Thats biting me on the road,

Im un-der-ra-ted-
(Fast)
Stepp. ing-in the light-
That is fated-
I'm being patient-
For the payment-
In this life-
That is gated-
And in a way.

Im tryna make it-
Better for brothers-
And all the sisters-
Tryna live-
And help the-
Stru-ggl-ing-
Mothers,

Growing up-
Without a com-fort-
You're considered-
A number-
And all the youth-
Are really starving-
Of attention-
And loving,

Ain't no money-
Being put into-
The places of po-ver-ty-
So depressions-
In a rising-
I done felt it-
Inside of me-
Now anxiety is creeping,

I'm tryna make it even,

I'm feeling like Im dreaming-
Till everything is deleted,

I offer my apology-
To ev-ery-one whos seeing,
The pain inside my heart-
That Im feeling-
When I been sleeping,

I journey-
Through the road,

I gotta let it go,

Im tryna run away-
From the demons-
Thats in my soul,

The way that I was told,
Im never meant to glow,
So all got is hope,
And everybody knows,
If I dont make it now,
Then I dont even know,
Im paranoid-
And mentally hurting-
Is how I go,
Im tryna think ahead-
And be fo-cu-sing-
On the road,
If I can make a change-
Then really-
I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number,
I'm tryna make-
A difference-
Inside.

Im praying to the father-
That our voices-
Collide,
(Fast flow)
And I been fighting-
For my fa-mi-ly-
The might that I strive,
And now Im telling all my-
Brothers really-
I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number,
I'm rushing-
To de-ve-lop a legacy-
In a tendency-
Of pain-
Thats in a growing state-
Of messing me,
I can feel the devil-
Im trying to make it-
Less to me,
Testing in a fate-
And tell em-

I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number,

I'm tryna make-
A difference-
Inside.

Im praying to the father-
That our voices-
Collide,
(Fast flow)
And I been fighting-
For my fa-mi-ly-
The might that I strive,
And now Im telling all my-
Brothers really-
I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number,
I'm rushing-
To de-ve-lop a legacy-
In a tendency-
Of pain-
Thats in a growing state-
Of messing me,
I can feel the devil-
Im trying to make it-
Less to me,
Testing in a fate-
And tell em-

I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number-

I'm tryna make-
A difference-
Inside.

Im praying to the father-
That our voices-
Collide,
(Fast flow)
And I been fighting-
For my fa-mi-ly-
The might that I strive,
And now Im telling all my-
Brothers really-

Im trying to make it-
Less to me,
Testing in a fate-
And tell em-

I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number-
(Flow switc)
And-
thats honestly-
The way-
That Im living-
Cuz aint nobody-
Really caring-
Bout my brothers-
And sisters-
Theyd rather see me in-
The dirt-
But I'm avoiding-
In dissing-
Cuz I would rather work in love-
In how Im-
Fighting the system,

I been tryna make it out-
But yet-
My people-
I miss em,

Know-
E-ven-tua-lly-
The mess will be-
Cleaned up-
And Ill get em,

Once the moneys coming in-
And then the-
Knowledge-
Will fix it-
Because I know-
That its a struggle-
In this life-
That were living,

You dont gotta be-
In jail-
To be in-
Mentally prisoned-
Listen to Pac-
And I been praying-
That the message has risen-
Credit to Etika-
And Ali-
For the new-
Ins-pi-ra-tion-
And its a struggle in this life-
I oughta-
Take a va-ca-tion,

Taking vocalated-
Jewels,

Im tryna-
Keep it cool,

Im sitting in my mind-
In avoiding-
The way I fool,

Im eating up-
The wisdom-
Of elders-
Like it was food-
And then I bring it-
To my brothers and sisters-
That need it too,

Im drinking out-
The fountain-
Of knowledge-
Thats in this life-
And then expanding-
Out the brain-
Like Im stra-te-gi-zing-
The flight,

Im beating up the beat-
Like I've fallen into a fight-
And then I heal it-
With the vocal of melodies-
In the light,

This passion driven-
Style of living-
Is in the right-
Because if you-
Can put your heart-
Into something-
Youll see the sight,
This passion driven-
Style of living-
Is in the right-
Because if you-
Can put your heart-
Into something-
Youll see the sight,

Im li-ste-ning-
Cuz talking-
Will never get me-
To learn within-
Im earning in-
My burdens-
Cuz hurting-
Will get me further in-
Dispersing-
Out a birth-
That is breaking-
Up out the curse within-
My earth-
Of kin-
Is-
Further-
As long as we-
Hurt-
The birth of sin,

(Wait)

I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number,

I'm tryna make-
A difference-
Inside.

Im praying to the father-
That our voices-
Collide,
(Fast flow)
And I been fighting-
For my fa-mi-ly-
The might that I strive,
And now Im telling all my-
Brothers really-
I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number,
I'm rushing-
To de-ve-lop a legacy-
In a tendency-
Of pain-
Thats in a growing state-
Of messing me,
I can feel the devil-
Im trying to make it-
Less to me,
Testing in a fate-
And tell em-

I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number-

I'm tryna make-
A difference-
Inside.

Im praying to the father-
That our voices-
Collide,
(Fast flow)
And I been fighting-
For my fa-mi-ly-
The might that I strive,
And now Im telling all my-
Brothers really-
I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number,
I'm rushing-
To de-ve-lop a legacy-
In a tendency-
Of pain-
Thats in a growing state-
Of messing me,
I can feel the devil-
Im trying to make it-
Less to me,
Testing in a fate-
And tell em-

I dont wanna-
Be another-
Number-
