Tony.Has - Mantra

Ready and willing man whatever it takes
As I wander through the valley looking death in the face
I told you when I started that I carry the weight
So now every step taken is a raise in the stakes
I spent a couple summers makin' major
Mistakes
But I don't know how much more I can bend till I break
Feelbad for my brother, servin' 25
Counting off calendars tryna stay alive
While I am on a tangent, drinkin' while I drive
Tellin hoes I love em while I'm fuckin on the side
Convinced that I can change
Changes don't arrive
Patience starts to fade
And slowly we divide
Always come in peace
but never peace of mind
It happens on repeat
So I shouldnt be suprised
I'm staring at the ceiling of the world right now
Got the illest feeling in the world right now
It's down to the second in world right now
Past becomes present in my worlds right now
Swear that that's the realest shit I ever wrote
Play it at my funeral when it's finally time for me to go
I don't know when my name'll be called
Just know I got love for everybody involved
You supported my dreams
You supported my struggles
You taught me to be modest and to always be humble
Even when I acted stupid and my vision was tunnelled
You help me see the bigger picture you were always my Hubble
Far from perfect but I've certainly tried
Still smirking on the surface while I'm hurting inside
Seeking purpose sittin' wordless letting urges decide
Me versus the world determined and burstin' with pride cause

All I got left is my name
Living in a world so temporary
And ima take it with to the grave
Rep it from the womb to the cemetery
I'm never choosing money over fame
Won't settle for nothin less then legendary
Greatness is the only thing I crave
I gotta have it by any means necessary

Who am I, who is god
Who decides what is right what I wrong
What is life, what is thought
What is time what is lies what is loss
Got all these fucking question I ain't getting no answer, where's the truth
In the school in the church with the pastor
Is it in the books they produce as a standard
Or is it on the news with the suits and the cameras
Fuck it, doesn't matter anyway
We all gone die one day whether soon or late
I'm in check tryna find another move to make
The pressures got me gripping on the handles like a sooner state
So tell me what it is I gotta do to be great
Even if I have to pray until I'm blue in the face
Even if I have to wait until I truly relate
What's it really gone take for you to open the gate
Just give me a sign I meant it anything
Cause I'm contemplating whether this is worth it or not
Well is it? Say something I been talkin' so long that my jaws become weary
This is all just theory, will you offer to hear me
Out cause I'm down and I need you right now
This reflection isn't me right now, but the devils all I see right now

All I got left is my name
Living in a world so temporary
And ima take it with to the grave
Rep it from the womb to the cemetery
I'm never choosing money over fame
Won't settle for nothin less then legendary
Greatness is the only thing I crave
I gotta have it by any means necessary
