Jeff Porter, Teathetruth - Insomnia

Gassin' yourself up but this is not a fair race
You're like Trinidad James, I'm timestamp Drake
Toxic energy, I can't have it near me
I can't stand that shit like Ben Affleck at the Grammys
Make it on my own, I ain't seekin' out your measly feature
My dough is risin' like I'm working at the pizzeria
I seen that open spot, so now I'm bout to feed the meter
Don't let the industry tell you lies, cause they will deceive ya
Nothing's really ever what it seems to be
This game is reckless, don't be blinded by aesthetics
Couldn't read some situations, thought I was illiterate
Mind racin' back and forth, sort of like it's Wimbledon
Most of my friends now, they worried bout a down payment
I'm just worried bout this next beat, and how I'ma slay it
I got a good hand, know I'm gonna have to play it
Puttin' wagers on myself you might think I'm out in Vegas
Lately Mom and Dad been telling me they think I date too much
I can't act like I'm ready, not one to fake the funk
Met some great women and I made some dope memories
But things ain't work out, so like the Beatles I just let it be
Feelin' selfish, I'm not in it for the long haul
Still cheerin' for you girl, even got my pom poms
Another year dolo, every time the ball drops
Promise that I'd rather die alone than fall off
Only one shot at this life, I gotta be somethin'
Where's the honor in quitting when you're able to see the summit
Hard to be colossal if you throwing in the towel
Tough to truly make it if you can't take some hatred
Show 'em there's a fine line with confident and cocky
Always strive and prosper even if the road is rocky
Yeah, the pen is sharper than a guillotine
These lines are strong like they came straight from Medellin
Might be single rest of my life cause I hate settling
One day I'll feel like I'm Bron when he went and passed Kareem
Rakim and Eric B, I'm really just a rappin' fiend
Hope you all remember me If I ever have to leave
