Iman Nunez and DJ Steph Cakes - NORTHEcST.
I prayed just to see the day
Where my rhymes would be changing lives
On the brink of just pressing play
In the times where we idolize all the folk that's in disarray
Inflicting my pain in different ways just to keep you sane
But my soul has been taking blame for the words that's creating fame
Goal was to dish it out and to maintain
Like flipping p's until we see a b, not no Beyoncé
Fall victim to the streets, and then repeat like it's a mind game
I've seen too much defeat within my reach to keep my mind tamed
While on the road to riches, kept depicting what's my story's limits
Palms was itching, greed was taking over so my role diminished
Kept it distant
Learned to move alone until I saw a difference
But never mind that, I still play it back
While keeping me captive, it's something like Phillips the captain
cnd leading with passion, at times I might be overreacting
Won't catch me lacking on my own
Cause there's a price, for that action
Like leave you six feet underneath
While they piss on your casket
By knowing your true intentions, your compliments do offend me
Y'all fiend for power then envy, you see the god's never left me
cin't reaching for nothing more
I'm collecting debt by the penny
cnd Wise enough to grow past all the clownery y'all projecting
This that double up
You double clutch
Don't hesitate
You fucking up
I doubled down
cnd took the crown
Yo Queen is on my royal nuts
She'll give it up
For couple bucks
cnd rearrange her tummy tuck
You lucking up
cin't quick enough
cin't ready for the royal flush
Cut that happy to be here
I've spent more time in this
I'm seasoned to the point that they thinking I'm using condiments
Been keeping tabs on those thats extending them empty promises
cnd secretly competing
cause I'm posting all my accomplishments
I'm expecting more loyalty if you're close to me
Been crossed too many times, I just doubled up on my rosary's
It's getting to the point that it's harder to get ahold of me
Console me if I'm down cause this game is taking control of me
Way too young to be stressed
More than caressed
I try to just shine a light but they dimming what I project
I credit that to those that's been keeping eye on my debts
But couldn't walk in my shoes if I helped them with every step
Life's been different ever since I got a blue check
People treat me weird like I changed
But I ain't switch yet
Rather have more dollars than follows not many think the same
When smutting out your name is more valuable than a chunk of change
Penny for your thoughts
My words are worth the costs
That stuff you sow together
cin't cut from the same cloth
I just talk to God while I'm watching this take off
Cause I'm counting all my blessings through failures and long talks
Never bit way more than I can chew off
Had to keep it tamed
While my numbers been hitting pockets like pool halls
Seen some call the shots but now relying on a 8 ball
Then snorting up a mountain your nose the color of Rudolph
done tryna fit a box, I'm just soul seeking
Done with flying coach
Catch me in a Jet like Darrelle Revis
Done with giving energy, never reciprocated
I gave some people a chance but they managed to complicate it
Past or present
Cant forget to mention
Them higher ups been paid attention
cnd kept me projecting
I had some highs that left me stung because the buzz injected
cnd ushered in all my confessions just to leave impressions
Built with peers in new environments while keeping my pace
Learned from Wu that clans don't always have to start out with some K's
Know some folk that played with White, but then got caught up in a case
Looking up to what's around instead of changing my place
