SHWN FM - No Lie To Live

I've been me since the beginning
No, I don't like that one
I've been me since the-uhh
I've been me since the beginning
You gon' get mean if you ain't winning?
But I'ma keep with my teeth, like I'm grinning
And this ain't going to turn into no Grinch here, and then I'm
Going back like I press rewind
Rewinding right back to a better time, a time right when life
Wasn't as complicated as it is now
And I was seeing this life through the eyes of a child
When everything felt a little happier
Things was coming out and a little snappier
This is just honesty, I'm breaking all the barriers
Cause in the middle of then and now, I was fairly hurt
But I caused my own downfall
My teenage years had me stressing to get loud y'all
I would sound off, of ignorance and doubt y'all
Words like they wouldn't help me improve but they did so I wouldn't be right here without y'all
I said I ain't got no lie to live
I said I ain't got no lie to live
I said I ain't got no lie to live
I said I ain't got no lie to live
I said there's no lies and no fakeness
And I know when I make it, you gon' hate this
All the doubters who tried getting in my head
Well, you succeeded and instead
Of letting some of y'all tear me down, mmm
I picked myself up, gained the confidence and all around
Became a better person and in terms I'm
A better rapper, and this ain't the first time
I'm- admitting to my flaws, I did a lot of wrongs
My growing pains was rough, I've made it to twenty-one and beyond
I grew and now I'm all about knowledge, hell
I plan on going right on back to college, well
Not for the next year, but I'm doing it all to make everybody proud
Yes I'm having a ball, cause now I am allowed
I went through trials and tribulations
Fixed parts of my life and stopped my self-deprecating
I said I ain't got no lie to live
I said I ain't got no lie to live
I said I ain't got no lie to live
I said I ain't got no lie to live
There've been times, I'd try to fake it
Fake my life cause of self-hatred
And try to be somebody who I really couldn't be
Cause deep down in the soul of me, this who I'm supposed to be
A nerdy rapper, just living life, uh
Makin' music all throughout the day and the night, but
Doing the most and whatever feels right, cause
I don't want to feel like, me when I was uptight with no trust
And I couldn't take a joke
Cause that kid was a fucking joke, provoked
By any little thing, he did drink but didn't smoke, he was so
Against everything like a Wanna-Be woke, oh
I'm so proud of how far I've came around
And allowed myself to be in and out a crowd
With or without, I'm vowed, to the music I done found
So I keep it housed up in my brain and that'll never change so now
There's no lies and no fakeness
There's no lies and no fakeness
There's no lies and no fakeness
There's no lies and no fakeness
