Salloum - Frustration

I do shit supreme by any means
Doing shit brethren in my city have never seen
Spitting bars on the mall
I couldn't get a job
So I honed the bars
Seven years in a dorm working towards that 9-5 workforce
Was torturous but a blessing
Gave the king time to develop
Reading books
Writing rhymes
Seeking teachings of the glorious Qur'an
To be great sometimes you got to live wild
My greatest fear
That my pops wouldn't see his youngest chandelier
Rarely bored so barely sinning
I'm an entrepreneur
A poet
With aims to make millions
Never seen a fly brother like this before
This Hip-Hop is my soul
More than a song - a way of life
Like the glorious Qur'an
Airing truth from the booth
Check what I've created over time
Its linear like life
Cyclical like life
I'm intellectually inclined

I touch all nodes
From the boujee to trife
Attract wealth through acts of courage
I embrace knowledge
To bless the rest-that's my heart's purpose
I'm futuristic with the visuals I see
Ya see I've been balling
Unabout the dollar but the dollar's somehow always been about this baller
I'm afraid of wasting mine
That's talent and time
I heard the clock of life tick
Fading like the sunset in Diego
I mold my life like Play-Doh
But nothing to play with though
So adhering words from Plato
Too many books to read
Too many stories to deliver into speech
I care about it all
But not giving a fuck Is how I reached this far
I'm reaching heights from which most are scared to fall
Watch me ball
Whether rejected or reveled
I'm revealing myself to be remembered
A renegade doing what I must
And peacing out to those who don't adjust
Like a diamond from the rough
I got that shine
See it in my eyes
The light inside signifies that I'll never die
20 g's to rise when I RIP goodnight
As my body rests
At peace with death
As the Earth feeds on one of her best
It be the money, power, greed to corrupt the seeds
Preservation of self
That's the rule of life
Between the mainstream and underworld
Is the boldness in the trife

I'm familiar amongst inferiors
And rarely losing sleep over opinions of the sheep
I rid my fear of death living my purpose
Trek different from the rest yes
Flexin for that millio by thirty
She had told me she had never seen my type before
The way I moved swift and cool on the dance floor
They can change your mind
But they can't ever change your heart
Or your drive to shine
Like the stars do in the dark

What's to be will be
Just believe
Do what your heart feels
And let divine take care of details
From the start I was a young glider
Visualizing scenes pre-them being seen
I honed the gift
God delivered the wish
From athletics to lyrics
I'm doing me and getting rich
Where doubts caused pains
Pains brought rains but I overcame
When all doubted, I maintained
Made it through the jaded
Awakened to that same face I was born with
My wise conscience spoke it: "up to you kid!"
And I believed
Built faith through belief in self
Patience was once one of my tests
Now is one my strengths
My parents threatened to neglect
If I didn't shape to what they'd expect
They couldn't see it - the vision
But I said f^& it & kept steering
Cause I'm living for the reason that I came into being
And that's per diem

Check Gibran, "On Children"
If you don't get what I mean
I was on the rise `til I stumbled
Rumbled my way back to the top
Wise verses accompanying my thoughts
A vice pardoner
A king
A star
To live free financially
Yeah that's the dream
To free my people from defeat is my reality
To reign supreme
That's the destiny
Bred a king by the thoughts that my diamondMind thinks
ya mean
