MC Gu - Effort

Trying my best better work
Put in the effort to flour
Ish but I'm stuck on the ground
Guess I ain't ready for now
People like me ain't built to change
Fucked up head not a lotta space
When I set a goal, aways goes astray
I ain't giving up till my final day
When I was a youngin said I didn't want the fame
Don't know what I want now, but I'm rapping anyway
I want my name in the light, but my life still in the shade
Don't want 2 be in the public eye (I), just don't want the hate
Path of recognition not the best to walkthrough
Only started this shit, feeling like I might lose
Got a chance to sell out, I won't pursue
Gotta put in effort so that I can stay true
Never-ending cycle, it's hard to go on
To show next-gen, all of your songs
So they make, their own vibe
And spin the wheel, keep the cycle alive
I don't wanna waste time, wanna write more lines
Running outta paper overthinking every line
Think I'm giving my best, but my best don't work
Cuz I'm always looking for a way around work
Put in effort if you care, I say that while in my chair
Could be doing something that would help me advance my career
I'm way too damn self-aware, to be living without care
Wish I was oblivious of everything under my hair
Never fit into the crowd, every rapper says that now
Cuz we always working towards a way for us to make it out
If we wanted to fit in, we'd probably work something out
But we rather put in tons of effort on our sound
I think that I get it now, shit hit different now
Music ain't about the sound, it's the meaning now
If you wanna stick around, make the lyrics shine
Gotta feel new and unique, you can't just make em rhyme
Put in so much effort, always put it to waste
Every chance I get to move on, throw that shit down the drain
See the vision in my mind, but it's blind to my eye
All the lines I wrote thrown out, I just wasted my time
Trying my best never work
Put in the effort to fluor
Ish but I'm stuck on the ground
Guess I ain't ready for now
People like me ain't built to change
Fucked up head not a lotta space
When I set a goal, aways goes astray
I ain't giving up till my final day
People like me ain't built to change
Fucked up head not a lotta space
When I set a goal, aways goes astray
I ain't giving up till my life is great
