Will Kellum - Emcees

Aye yo who wanna rock on the mic tonight
Aye grab a spot everything is gonna be alright
Aye one time
Aye one time

I used to compare myself to ya favorite rapper hoping that I find myself
These lines come from my inner thoughts can't never write outside my self
I deal with ptsd from theses EMCEES on the mic
They got no substance, flows is rusted, it's right I get my time
Future bright as suns pigmentation, stare you might go blind
A Phoenix rising from them ashes I ball like book to book my prime
They said than lane to big aye you may never go far
Gem city native I climbed up ages just to dance with the stars
I prayed on pages, get a placement to strike a vein in ya heart
That envy rising in my brain I fight these thoughts in the dark
In mamas basement on IG, seen people rise to the top
Gotta stay strapped to rob success I placed these rhymes in a glock
I'm taking shots don't gotta aim, these rappers they rap for fame
So I'm claiming to bring a change, but my motives might be the same
Am I writing rhythms in vain, if I make it what will it be.
Am I writing to break ya chains or am I writing to set me free? I'll never know

Aye yo who wanna rock on the mic tonight
Aye grab a spot everything is gonna be alright
Aye one time
Aye one time

As I write these verses I purchased sometime with Jesus for freedom
I seen the pride that I dealt with and told Him how much I need Him
I was writing to speak His name but in reality wanted to be Him
To hear that I'm spitting flames, and have compliments in my dm,s
I was dissing these mumble rappers cause I couldn't stand the culture
Hating on peers that's rappers cause I felt my gift was chosen
Insecure in myself because I feel I'm losing focus
And jealous of losing wealth and seeing someone being boasted
Closed up my heart to help it's crazy that I write so open
Sometimes them scars that hurt the heal when you don't keep em closed in
But if I cry for help I'm scared that someone might just notice
And leave me by myself when poison from my thoughts get potent
Maybe the insecurities that we been dealing with
It may just be from problems in our past that we ain't finished with
It's crazy that I tried to use my raps for the ministry
When I ain't never confront the things from the past that might hinder me
