Stevey Steve - Truth Be Told Freestyle

Yeah
Truth be told
So help me god
Yeah, uh
I'm back at it like I need a fix
Without the music I feel like a piece of shit
Went ghost for a while, they thought that Stevey quit
But they ain't know I was struggling tryna keep it lit
Dealing with real life shit, my momma really sick
Taking dangerous risks to make a easy flip
Sometimes you gotta play broke to see if people switch
Even when I ain't have it I made it seem legit
'Cause I'm not a fraud I say the facts and take control of things
Plus I know my heart is pure and my soul is clean
Keep your head above water when they want you to sink
'Cause when you under too much stress you start to over think
Can't feed my mind with illusions
That's a sign of confusion, gotta find a solution
I need to take action, get on my grind with the music
'Cause timing is crucial, my only option is do it
I'm going back to the basics, no time to contemplate
Told myself you want the juice? You gotta concentrate
I just wanna put a smile up on my momma face
It don't matter what route I take, imma find a way
Took a lot of losses, it made me focus more
Never broke the rules, I followed my protocol
I've been putting work in like I'm wearing overalls
They want me to fold but I don't work at a clothing store
They doubted me now they looking sick
They rather see me in the bookings but I'm booking gigs
I'm just trynna do it big like that Brooklyn kid
I don't wanna be old talking about what I could've did
Where I could've went or where I could've been
All because of lack of work I wasn't putting in
No looking back now, my foot in the door
I made a plan, I'm sticking to it like a bulletin board
Feel like my whole life I've been a underdog
Made something out of nothing, how I pull it off?
Devil keep tryna pull me back, I'm playing tug of war
I battle demons on the daily but I'm going strong
I'm cut from a special cloth, shaking depression off
Enjoying my blessings more
That's what my nephew wanted, so I'm going extra hard
Against whatever odds, nothing lose so I bet it all
Gotta' understand where I come from
Before you try to judge me or make any assumptions
I'm in a conundrum, problems is adding up
They'll never help you out but when you get it they want some
Shorty shitted on me back then I know she feel like she up one
But no heartbreak could match losing a loved one
I hate showing my bitter side
It cut me real deep seeing my sister cry
Hate I gotta deal with the fact I'll forever feel how I feel inside
Things won't be the same on Birthdays and Christmas time
But imma use my gift while I'm still alive
Never let my spirit die, that's the code I'm living by
Guess I gotta let it out and vent
Going through the motions, time to reinvent
Success is what I sense, I could smell the scent
Hurting but the bottom made me tougher than cement, yeah
Basement baby
