Michael Haze - The Chosen One

I don't know why history repeats itself, man
And I don't know why I gotta do this
You live and you learn, right
Let's get it

I never had luck, it's always been skill
That's how I came up this real
Put all of the things that I feel inside of a song
And wait till they pay me a mill

Some days I'd rather just take me a pill
Kick back, relax, and pray for a deal
But still, it's like I'm completely aware
I'll never get there complaining and chilling

So far as my tendency to be and let it be
To live and let them live
But beat them by the beat
As far as I can see, that's the only way to stay
Okay, as lonely as it may be
For peace, that's the price you pay

So I keep it all close to my chest
What's under my sleeve will open your throat and your neck
What's hugging my hip will open a hole on your coat while you flex
Runnin' your lip, don't try me cause nobody checked
Walk up to the door, security dappin' me up
And homies are showing respect

That's how it is where I'm from
That's just how it is where I'm from
You live by the mouth, you die by the mouth or you live by the gun
So leave me alone, don't speak on my name, don't even send me a text
I don't exist, don't send 'em the check, unless you gon' send me a check

Or want hollow tips in your neck
For trying to put me in check
Mate, this is chess, you're just a pawn
That message has been in effect
Go get you in witness protect
Won't be a witness to protect
You were just in it to flex
I'm in it to finish the set and reflect

Diminishing shit that you said
Through shit that I live and project and really affect
So give it a rest, no sense in rejecting what you can't control or deflect
Comin' to collect, what did you expect
It's written in stone, it's nothing but net
That's really a bet, better be coming correct
Cause every hit is direct
Yeah

They want that cause they know I got that
I am that so they wanna be that
They hate that cause they know I know that
They fake that cause they know I see that

They want that cause they know I got that
I am that so they wanna be that
They hate that cause they know I know that
They fake that cause they know I see that

Foolish to think that you got what it takes to be great
Can't even be true to yourself
You're fading away
Go find you a mirror and analyze what you've become
I'm just getting started lil homie it's only begun

I humbly accept all the hatred
Blessed that I'm destined for greatness
Mad that your blessings are basic
Learn you some lessons and patience

Your whole direction is aimless
You getting left in the matrix
My whole expression's contagious
Guess I'mma be infectiously famous

Yes I'm incredibly anxious
Can't stand the excitement
The suspense is really killing me
God damn it

I'm beside myself to know that these people are feeling me
I'm on that wave that they wanna see
With a little bit of gangsta underneath
Still got that dope personality
No wonder these haters don't fuck with me

Don't wanna see me on TV
Can't give these suckers no freebies
Better off if you go ahead and bend the knee
Won't stop till these fake rappers king me
Forever gonna do it if it please me
And I'mma make sure that they see me
Believe me don't mean to seem greedy
You're never gonna make it cause you're cheesy and need me

Stifling all of my creative energy
Waiting for haters to create some synergy
Selling your soul and your life to this industry
Gone like a thief in the night
I'm a different breed

All I got is my time
Word is always my bond
Going out of my mind
Man I'm tired
I put that on God

But I'm never too tired to put you on the flat of your back
Gasping for air like you having an asthma attack
You sick to your stomach
You know that's a matter of fact
I'm wrapping them up like I mastered the track
Snack
The cracker is back
Yeah

They want that cause they know I got that
I am that so they want to be that
They hate that cause they know I know that
They fake that cause they know I see that

They want that cause they know I got that
I am that so they want to be that
They hate that cause they know I know that
They fake that cause they know I see that

They want that cause they know I got that
I am that so they want to be that
They hate that cause they know I know that
They fake that cause they know I see that

They want that cause they know I got that
I am that so they want to be that
They hate that cause they know I know that
They fake that cause they know I see that

I am the one
I always been
