Mogli the Iceburg

Yeah, yeah
After I get it, I reinvest

People wanna talk that talk in reality
You have not seen me in action
You think the come up comes overnight
You ain't behind the scenes
Trust me these things don't just happen
No shade to Gerald but G's don't come easy
When you try eat to off producin' and rappin'
I read that contract you sent me to sign but excuse me
I can't help myself from just laughin', aye
You try to cut out a piece of my pie and I ask you politely what's it you can offer me, yeah
I produce all my own beats and I have no intention to losing my publishing, yeah
Independent individual boy I've been eatin' off passive residuals yeah, let's be professional
Thanks for your time but I had to decline outta principle

I've been schemin' up a plan aye
I've been savin' all I can aye
You could call me David Ramsey
The way I handle these bands, aye
We ain't messin' with that old model
New era new kid we full throttle
Just know that the come-up was not a fluke
My 'migos they focused, know what to do

After I get it, I reinvest
Stack and stack and stack and put it back in it

Yo, look
I ain't saying that I'm rich
'Cause if I'm honest I have never been
But when I look at all these other kids
I feel just a little bit ahead of them
You should know the business it's competitive
There's a lot of people that I'm better than
Even veterans ain't got the knowledge I do I been reinvestin' all I ever spend
Stop pretendin' like you poppin'
Who been out here makin' profit
Told my momma that I got this
I wonder if she notice what my job is
I don't know how well I'm make it but I know no matter what I'm finna find a way
All my homies finna eat and I ain't lettin' no one on my team look at an empty plate
Yeah yeah yeah
Went from a boy to a man, aye
Every day been makin' plans, aye
They don't really understand, aye
Gotta look out for the family
I won't fall for any scam, yeah
Only worried about the fans, yeah
I won't compromise the brand, yeah
I been setting other bands, whoa

After I get it, I reinvest
Stack and stack and stack and put it back in it

Rappers spending money in some really funny ways
Man I promise you ain't really gettin' paid
Show a couple bands flexin' on the Instagram
Man nobody gettin' fans that way
Boy you really dumb if you spendin' all your funds on some clothes when your tape needs work
You ain't gonna stand if you ain't a businessman
Man I promise you that plan ain't gonna work

All this time spent by myself
And I got nowhere to be
We tread too closely to that line
And she asks me 'what are we?'
I don't want you to leave right now
When I'm not sure I can stay
She asked me if it's real or not
And I don't know what to say, what to say

Talk 'bout you and I
Are you down to come along for this ride
Cookin’ heat I don't put on no suit and tie
Everyday I work don't got no 9 to 5 (self-employed)
Are you tryin' to see the world from a van? (tour the country)
Can you stay secure when I'm around my fans? (Don't be jealous)
Are you down with stayin' in to save these bands? (stack it save it)
Well if not, I don't think I can be your man
I don't think the values we hold
Are really all that compatible
But the way that your body shaped
Make me act like an animal
Plannin' on just abandoning my conscience
Catchin' these feelings until I wonder where the time went yeah
I know you ain't right for me
But in spite of that
Every time I close my eyes
You always stay on my mind
It isn't fair to you I gotta walk away
I guess I should've known it'd go this way

All this time spent by myself
And I got nowhere to be
We tread too closely to that line
And she asks me 'what are we?'
I don't want you to leave right now
But I'm not sure I can stay
She asked me if it's real or not
And I don't know what to say, what to say

My dream girl broke my heart about a week ago
I didn't put it out there 'cause it's on a need to know
See I'ma always get lonely when I hit the road
And I'ma always feel like I should've given you way more
But that's just how it goes
Maybe she gon' hear the record
Maybe she just won't
I've been by myself and spent some time all alone
Maybe it could work but right now it just won't
And that's a hard pill to swallow
Music's movin' fast from the songs that I model
In a past life, I would've turned to the bottle
Keep my head on straight and keep my foot on the throttle
Lie and say it doesn't hurt
Real pain but a lesson learned
Self-inflicted maybe that rings true
'Cause I really did, I fell in love with you

All this time spent by myself
And I got nowhere to be
We tread too closely to that line
And she asks me 'what are we?'
I don't want you to leave right now
But I'm not sure I can stay
She asked me if it's real or not
And I don't know what to say, what to say

Puff puff pass and I'm in that
Circle with my boys
Roll the weed in the zig zag
Lightin' up these trees like a forest fire
Where smokey the bear at
Preacher tried to talk but we ain't really tryin' to hear that
Mix a little teenage angst with some ignorance
And every chance they get ya know these
Kids will get belligerent
'Cause though we know better
In this world, we unprepared
'Cause peer pressure strong and it
Was never cool to care about the consequences
Flash forward 5 years and the story
Done changed see I did a little growin' up
It's crazy how perspective change
When your head on your knees in
The bathroom throwin' up
But still, it took a fatal accidental overdose
Up in my circle just to wake me up
In time for me to get it
The fabric of this life is delicate
And most don't get too many chances
I'm just thankful that I never fully ripped it

I remember back then
When we was both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted
I remember back then
When we were both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted

I remember back then
When we were both kids
And we would chill and talk
About the life, we wanna live
All up in your momma crib
Memories just take me back man
Nowadays it's hard for me to tell
Just where you're at man
Look me in my eyes
But you always looking distant
There's emptiness inside 'em but
Your mind is so indifferent
You don't mind it when the people
All around you say you're dumb
In a world that's full of pain
It's easier to stay numb
It started with the drink, graduated to the weed
Pop another pill, now you pourin' up that lean
And you say that this is it
But homie I don't really buy it
When the boundaries you set
Are demolished after you try it
I ain't trippin' I'm just saying
That I miss the friend I used to know
Pop a molly on me and you
Flippin' like reciprocals
So ain't much I can really go and do
But say a prayer for you dude
If you ever need me homie
I'll be there for you dude

I remember back then
When we was both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted
I remember back then
When we was both cool
Gettin' into trouble never following the rules
Nowadays things changed
And now you're cold-blooded
Every time I try to talk
You only tryin' to get blunted

Another day and we just try to make away now
The hatred growing stronger every single day now
I hear these rappers, they ain't tryna talk about it, they ain't tryna get involved
They would rather catch a wave now
But how cool is the gunplay when the strays will hit the playgrounds huh
But never mind about that, 'cause once you make it out you think this world just don't affect you any more
Until somebody from your past come back to settle the score
Like 2Pac on September 7th
Man in this fight against hate, love the greatest weapon
So if you tryna walk with me said the cycle gonna stop right here
My God gave his life for mine so I can make this clear
The more and more my name has grown because of music the more that I see
It ain't about the music but the way that I use it
So go head, keep on rappin' about all the choppers and your drugs
I'll be here just holdin' down for the people and the love, yeah

Oh I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you Ooh oh
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this
Stop it, y'all not poppin', stuntin' on the ground feel wise
Running for the check no I says
Pumpin' in the pose like broad skirt
Stuntin' on your kinfolk
Pullin' up, sittin' on rens lo
Dope boy got a Benz, now I need a Benzo

I wanna cop the form, that's a better investment
Call 0-800 and had the kids kiss 'em
Always see through the ten and in
Other dudes see the rims I see the life on the real
I don't really see the win all I see is the
I ain't preachin' to ya dad I don't mean to offend
But I mean Lord bled and died for the life that you live

Oh I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you
I was drownin' in the wave with you Ooh oh
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this
I put my whole life on this, I put my whole life on this

People say that drowning is actually a really peaceful way to die
It's not difficult to see why
After the shock and hysteria passes, after fluids violently fill your lungs as you struggle to hold your breath
A certain serenity takes hold of you after you surrender
But you don't die immediately, you become numb
And the longer that you're under, the more you forget what could have been
And you lose perspective on what's about to happen
I was drowning in something different
Losing perspective
Basking in the illusion of freedom
Numb to the reality that death was soon approaching
This wasn't the design
We were made for more
And I chose to live

I don't need you up in my face right now
I don't need you up in my way right now
I don't need you up in my face right now
I don't need you up in my way right now

In the moment that it happened
I can tell by, your reaction
That there's nowhere left for you to hide
With all the things you kept inside
So we face it, and determine
As of right now, it's not working
So just leave me by myself tonight
I need some space to clear my mind
I said it's okay, so much that I won't say
Miss me with your games
Guarantee you that I won't play
Tryin to live this thing out
You ain't what I need now
Ballin off a rebound
You can't touch the team now
All of the time, you took my mind
Into a place I couldn't stand
So won't you just leave me by myself tonight
Leave me alone

I don't need you up in my face right now
I don't need you up in my way right now
I don't need you up in my face right now
I don't need you up in my way right now

Yeah, I could sell the truth but I just keep it suppressed
Harder to be humble when they feel you the best
Harder to believe you when they say you up next
All your peers is pushin' past you
While you waving 'em past
Crazy as of lately, why I'm feeling so blessed
We two different systems I'm in need of a reset
Things my pops had never taught me
Led me to stress
I've been prayin' for forgiveness but it still hasn't passed
I need my space, I need to wait
I need to pray, I need to skate
I need to read, I need to think
I need His grace, sorry but please
I need my space, I need to wait
I need to pray, I need to skate
I need to read, I need to think
I need His grace, sorry but

I don't need you up in my face right now
I don't need you up in my way right now
I don't need you up in my face right now
I don't need you up in my way right now

It's indie tribe

Everybody wants 15 minutes of fame

And they'll do anything to get it, what

Everybody wants their 15 minutes
Won't sleep till they get it
Won't eat till they get it
Gon' ride just to get it
Gon' die just to get it
Some will even go and take another's life
Just to get it

The other day I was watched 60 minutes and
Saw a familiar headline
There was a kid who could never fit in
And he had been bullied for some time
By these two kids who were relatively popular
To himself so he felt
There was no one else to talk to
So he started to act rash and impromptu
When he went into his mother's room
Searchin' for the heater that
She kept under the dresser for protection
Put it in his backpack
Brought it off to school
And he thought that boy gon' learn his lesson
When he pulled up at the bus stop
Hit him with the
Before he even got to notice
Then he put it to his head
Pulled the trigger like
But at least he got noticed

Everybody wants 15 minutes of fame

And they'll do anything to get it, what

Everybody wants the 15 minutes
Won't sleep till they get it
Won't eat till they get it
Gon' ride just to get it
Gon' die just to get it
Some believe in taking others lives just to get it

Look at me

There's a girl and I won't say your name
But I used to know her back in the city
She had an issue with self-worth see
She ain't really think she was pretty
Around the time it was summertime
She was goin' through her timeline
Checkin' all these swimsuit pictures on her Facebook
Stressin' out because
She hate the way her hips look
That's when this guy that she kinda liked
Started text message sayin'
Girl yo can I get a nude picture
She complied, she ain't even know why
Because she hated the way
That he was rude with her
Woke up early in the morning just to find
That the picture was the talk of the town
Then she fell in love with the attention
Started strippin' for a livin'
Traded dollars for her cap and gown

Everybody wants 15 minutes of fame

And they'll do anything to get it, what

Everybody wants the 15 minutes
Won't sleep till they get it
Won't eat till they get it
Gon' ride just to get it
Gon' die just to get it
Some believe in taking others lives just to get it

Uh, all the kids wanna be like Bieber
Everybody wanna be Lebron James
Tell me who is gonna be our teachers
If these kids stay drunk on fame
And the fake attention
Poured out in the form of a status like
This online parasite
Stay suckin' us dry
To real life, real people like you and I
So I think it's time to just re-address
So we can break up out of this cycle
These kids out there will do anything
To make a Youtube video viral
And its spiralin' outta control
Killin' our brains
Killin' our souls
At times when you feelin the pressure unload
Gotta give it to God and just let Him take hold
No need for insecurity
When You're here with me
Everything will be alright
Love me hate me man
Either way, I'll make it through the night
'Cause my identity don't rest on
What you say or how you play it
It's rooted in the One who
Loved me before He made it

Yeah, yeah
One time for that, one time for that real, yeah
Tribe on the move
Yeah

Another tragedy and we just seem so numb
Need the peace, humanity is dumb
In the streets we see police, don’t freeze but run
And the next thing that you know somebody reach for the gun
Then the murder gets reciprocated
Man I swear that our culture discombobulated
All these people pickin' sides, I’m just tryin' to circumnavigate it
Got me thinkin', man the situation gettin' complicated
Let me tell you all the 90’s babies got the juice now
Maybe we’re the generation that can understand
That the content of the character’s the measure of a man
If you got breath up in your lungs, then the future’s in your hands
We don't stand for no put downs
Let 'em know we still fam if you pale or brown
We would like to welcome you into the tribe now
'Cause we ain’t with no movement that gon' die down or lie down, yeah

This ain’t a flex but the tribe is up next, yeah
We live in freedom 'cause
We put our faith in the one that has canceled our debts, yeah
People might say we too young
But that’s 'cause they view us as threats, yeah
We hold the power and change gonna come
As soon as we lock arms to connect
What you waitin' for

I tried to chill, holy weapon's here for the pride and guilt
Slaps on the wrists, 12 tryin' to kill
Too many lives lost, I've cried for real
I'm from a state where they never let it go
Black Wall Street, that's on everybody's dome
It's not about the race, gotta focus on the hate
It's on everybody's face but we never let it show
So won't you please take me back to the motherland
As of lately, I've been dreamin' of another land
There's a village in the leafs
You won't ever want to leave
If you do you gon' still be my brother man
So let me be the salt in your soul food
Oh, He made Vegeta, I like Goku
And that is not a shot that's the whole truth
Givin' you the real like Whole Foods
Man, I told you

This ain’t a flex but the tribe is up next, yeah
We live in freedom 'cause
We put our faith in the one that has canceled our debts, yeah
People might say we too young
But that’s 'cause they view us as threats, yeah
We hold the power and change gonna come
As soon as we lock arms to connect
What you waitin' for

What's young a villain to do
They tell me that my melanin, it make me a fool
I need to keep arm ligaments and 10 and at 2
And maybe then my pigment will not convince him to shoot
Wait a minute, hold up
What's a young villain to do
They tell me that I hate 'em 'cause my uniform blue
They won't listen to my statements, say I'm racist and rude
And nobody loves death, I'm afraid of it too
I'm available too
We could talk about it
But the news gotta keep us at odds about it
You know how every story on Fox go down
They just wanna sell tix like Boston now
Look, He pulled me out the lost and found
Then replaced a red dot with an awesome crown
So uh, you know if our God's about it
We could take any sin and put chalk around it

This ain’t a flex but the tribe is up next, yeah
We live in freedom 'cause
We put our faith in the one that has canceled our debts, yeah
People might say we too young
But that’s 'cause they view us as threats, yeah
We hold the power and change gonna come
As soon as we lock arms to connect
What you waitin' for

Yeah man, ever since I was a kid like
People would ask me what my favorite color was and I'd be like
"Black" and they'd always be like, "yo, you're cheating" but
I mean even to this day, it's all black everything
Black shirt, black pants, black shoes, black car, black rim
All black everything, everyday man, ya know what I'm sayin'?

Black on black on black on black
Whole squad on, used to dream 'bout that
Never let up on my grind
Took no days off, what you know about that?
Black on black on black on black

Whole squad on, used to dream 'bout that
Never let up on my grind
Content but never satisfied
With the matte black rims on the 'rolla
Whole game done changed, thought I told ya
That's on my life, can't touch the tribe
We never die, we multiply
With the matte black rims on the 'rolla
Whole game done changed, thought I told ya
That's on my life, can't touch the tribe
We never die, we multiply

I'll go MIA way before I wait one more
Single second more for you to contemplate 'bout the
Music that I make, if it's real or fake, if I'm on my way
What I gotta say, get me through the day
I've been on my phone too long, yeah, yeah
This late, my thoughts go wrong, yeah, yeah
Tryin' to talk about my feelings and get me a million
You say what you like, still the same old guy with the

Black on black on black on black
Whole squad on, used to dream 'bout that
Never let up on my grind
Took no days off, what you know about that?

Black on black on black on black
Whole squad on, used to dream 'bout that
Never let up on my grind
Content but never satisfied
With the matte black rims on the 'rolla
Whole game done changed, thought I told ya
That's on my life, can't touch the tribe
We never die, we multiply
With the matte black rims on the 'rolla
Whole game done changed, thought I told ya
That's on my life, can't touch the tribe
We never die, we multiply

Sometimes when it's time to close my eyes
I don't ever wanna wake up
I'd rather stream in the world of my dreams
Than face reality that makes up
All the stress in my head
I don't know what I'd do instead
But maybe this way of life just isn't right for me
I try to play it smart by listening to my heart
I don't know if I can take it
I'm tearing myself apart
I struggle to hold my own, I'm trying to find my away
I'm tired of being alone and feeling so out of place
Got so much that's on my plate and somehow I'm still starving
Lost in the music and I can't even find my garment
I sit and reflect on all the people I met
And everything that I've done
And all the bridges I've burned
You either in or you out
And I ain't trying to denounce
But I'm just growing impatient for fate to hand me my turn

Life ain't always what it seems
When you're following your dreams

Late night text to my ex-girl
New inbox from my next girl
I wonder why I even bother when I think that women might be incompatible with my world
I mean I know that we in school now
I'd be naive to call it love
Even though I told you that I love you on some multiple occasions it was prob'ly out of lust
Padded friendship
Maybe I should end this
Maybe there's a future here between us and it's splendid
Maybe we can work it out and both pursue ambitions
But chances are there's only room for one of us with vision
And it ain't fair to you to always have to be my tag-along
And I don't want to end up unsuccessful but a vagabond
An ugly situation someone always has to lose
So if I have to choose your love over music I'm choosing you

Life ain't always what it seems
When you're following your dreams

I had a talk with my homie in the kitchen at a time when I was down
And I was thinking 'bout giving up on my dream that I had had when I was only sixteen
That's a quarter of my life and we trying to live it right but he told me that ultimately it's out of our hands
Everything that is to come is already written in God's plans
So we told me I should pay about it
And I'm like, I will, but in my mind I kind of doubt it
'Cause if my faith is predetermined then what is the point of working
What is the point of praying it's driving me all berserk and then pushing me to the point of breaking, faking
I'm good when you ask me, take it off my arm, I'm vulnerable when my demons harass me
Give me your grace because you know that I'm dead without it
My stubbornness and pride got me stuck
And my vision is clouded
So give me a hand and pull me out of this trench
Put me back on the path I’ll go wherever I’m sent

Life ain't always what it seems
When you're following your dreams

The scene is gettin' crowded, Imma ride my own wave
I don't need your approval, Imma go my own way
My daddy told me to be first you finish last place
That world showed me one way, Imma go my own
Ride my own
Ride my own
Ride my own
Ride my own

Aye, Kelly Slater with the way that I ride the beat
We never fallin' off
Yeah revolutionary music, we throwing these bars like a Molotov
Kill 'em with kindness my words are my weapon my power is truth
I've seen the way that you rap and you live and I know that authentic means nothin' to you
You know what that means, your team is takin' more "L"s than the DNC
I'm making rappers abort their careers my verses are something like plan B
Just because I got opinions, I know some people can't stand me
Trollin' on me with your minions we gon' skip that like the Grammy's
Yeah tribe on the move we crankin' out music got more on the way
Got Mexican blood in my veins I'm workin' like andale, andale yeah
Call me crazy, but I'm stressin' the message way more than it sound
Government trying to build walls, but we out in the culture just tearin' 'em down
So don't believe everything somebody happens to write on the internet
Indie tribe that's for independent thinking buddy, we been a threat
Word to my people in prison, I know that my sin just as deadly, yeah
We gon' be here when you get out as brothers in Christ when you ready

The scene is gettin' crowded, Imma ride my own wave
I don't need your approval, Imma go my own way
My daddy told me to be first you finish last place
That world showed me one way, Imma go my own
Ride my own
Ride my own
Ride my own
Ride my own

What I look like ridin' more than waves
God can flood the Earth for 40 days
Send a dove to show me your remains
Watch the haters wash away with time
Narrow gate can take me up to Broadway
See 'em swagger jack the flow in broad day
Just to claim they mess with me the long way
Think they'll get away with taking mine
I can't do it, I've been through it
I've been learning, I'm a student
I can never, let him play me, wanna hook
Better pay me 'cause half the freshman ain't fresh
I might never enroll
Heard their song and said eh, time to switch up my flow
I don't need opinions I do my own when it wrong
I talk to God on a daily, I don't need you to condone
He said I'm walkin' like Peter, we might be on the same boat
I gave my life to the Lord and now I write with a sword
And I been livin' ever since I gave my life
And I can't let nobody tell me wrong from right
I got an itchin' for the finer things in life
If it ain't with Him then this life just won't suffice
Give me Christ like

The scene is gettin' crowded, Imma ride my own wave
My daddy told me to be first you finish last place
That world showed me one way, Imma go my own
Ride my own
Ride my own
Ride my own
Ride my own

Tell her I don't wanna die right now
I've just been a little sad
But my life is pretty rad
Lil shawty wanna cry right now
Tell her look into my eyes
Everything will be alright
I don't really wanna die right now
I've just been a little down
Everything that's going round
You ain't really gotta cry right now
I'm just doin' what they told me
Get over myself, get over it

I've been gone now I'm feelin' like we're too far
Yeah I rap, but I feel more like a rockstar
I might have to break it off like a pop tart
If she keep bringin' up the past like she Nardwuar
On the 'gram all day she been creepin'
Call me up, I can tell she been drinkin'
Askin' me what's wrong with me
I be like, "Pardon me"
As far as I can see there ain't no you and me
And my eyes turn red
My stomach churnin' inside my chest
I'm thinkin' what I could've said instead
And if it's possible to see you yet
But I don't really wanna be at all
But I don't think that you gon' be okay
If I was really gonna end it all
So I'mma tell you I don't feel this way

Tell her I don't wanna die right now
I've just been a little sad
But my life is pretty rad
Lil shawty wanna cry right now
Tell her look into my eyes
Everything will be alright
I don't really wanna die right now
I've just been a little down
Everything that's going round
You ain't really gotta cry right now
I'm just doin' what they told me
Get over myself, get over it

Get over it
Die right now
Get over it
Get over it
I don't really wanna die right now
Get over it

Black kids called me a cracker, white kids called me a beaner
Ate lunch in school alone 'cause I didn't fit in with either
They told me that I can't rap
Did you forget your ethnicity
But lookin' back from now they couldn't see what God had planned for me
Let me get it, let me put it down
One time for, anybody out there followin' their dreams
Anybody in the city workin' two jobs
So they can get to bigger, better things
You can't see the hours that I put in
Every day and night go to every track I write
Go to every beat I made just to hit 'em with the fade
When I stick it to the people that had told me that I couldn't, yeah
After all of the years that young Mogli wore a frown
I finally learned that it's okay that I'm not white or brown
And though the people lookin' sideways drive me crazy
You can't take my pride from me
I'm cool with the way God made me
By the way, you react I can tell that your hatred intact
You call me dirty, uneducated, illegal
In fact, went to talk to Black Lives Matter and I said, Latinos do too
And they told me, check your white privilege, boy
This is not about you

We gonna make it, ooh we gonna make it
I kept my soul no matter how hard that they tried to take it
Ooh we gonna make it, ooh we gonna make it
Got Adonai by my side
Ain't no way that you can fade it, listen
You can't hold me down

Got grandpa that was German, got grandpa that's a Mexican
But don't you say that 'round him, get corrected, we American
Family multi-colored from the darker to the fairer skin
And though we share the same blood
Blows my mind they still think less of him

We infected with the self-hate
Scar tissues from the wounds that are cut deep
So when other people sin we just retaliate
Man, it's our own hearts that are too weak
See Confederate flags on the back plates
Feel like the tenth one I've seen this week
Man, that's the type of thing that make me go crazy, huh
How can this be America
I still get misidentified, some think that I speak Arabic
Heard it all before, from towel-head down to a terrorist
The butt of all your jokes, I got my hand up on a bomb trigger
But sometimes it gets brutal
Boy you just a stupid sand n*****
Your ignorance astounds me so much that I can't even get mad
But then I think about my cousins who don't have the same privilege I have
Like if things are this bad for me
How much worse is it then for them
With no white side for them to lean on
Gotta give it up to Jesus in the end

We gonna make it, ooh we gonna make it
I kept my soul no matter how hard that they tried to take it
Ooh we gonna make it, ooh we gonna make it
Got Adonai by my side
Ain't no way that you can fade it, listen
You can't hold me down

I want you to see me as I am
I want you to need me like I want you
I want you to know I understand
How it felt for each time that I hurt you girl
And I'm so alone and it feels like nothing helps (no it feels like nothing)
And I still can't stand to see you and someone else (no, no, no)

When I glow up don't you think I'll forget the way you show love
We're nothing like we said that we'd be when we grow up
I'm filled with doubt and I'm tired of betting on my own luck
I needed reasons to believe that I can maintain
Until I met you and I learned you felt the same thing
And showed me that I'm not alone
No matter what things they might say today
You can't make me end my life that way
I need to put my soul at ease, won't you be my soul to squeeze?
Don't know what this means I just need some clarity
Once I find my way I'll be in a brighter place
I know what it takes this might be the only way to go on
I'm in my own way everything is so wrong
But I'll be okay I know that you'll hold on with me
Imperfectly that's fine with me
Come ride with me

I want you to see me as I am
I want you to need me like I want you
I want you to know I understand
I would fail for each time that I hurt you girl
And I'm so alone and it feels like nothing helps (no it feels like nothing)
And I still can't stand to see you and someone else (no, no, no)

Look
When I blow up I hope you see my face
And that you know love that you still have a place inside my soul
But I know you'll be replaced
I couldn't find escape, I had to relocate
You took my peace from me uh, gave the least to me uh
Had me wrapped around your finger, got the lease from me uh
I was housing all this doubt she paid the lease for me
Sold me out, she want to clout, she brought the beast out me
I'm in the basement pacing uh, flipping through yearbook pages
Know that I'm trying to hate you uh, but I don't have the patience
I'm on the Gram, I'm with my mans, I'm in Japan
I'm with the fans hopping out vans, getting the bands
But I'm just faking face it
Momma say don't kiss and tell but I don't listen well
She said she still love sick, I said I guess I wish you well
She wanted knight in shining armor in a fairy tale
Reality just ripped the wings right off of Tinkerbell

I want you to see me as I am
I want you to need me like I want you
I want you to know I understand
I would fail for each time that I hurt you girl
And I'm so alone and it feels like nothing helps (no it feels like nothing)
And I still can't stand to see you and someone else (no, no, no)

Can't stop me
Ain't no one on my level
Ain't no one out that's better that's regardless what they tell you
Taking it back into the beginning when I was just
Killin' 'em with the battle rap
B Rabbit it on 'em when I'm coming they can't handle that
It's all me, all me
Independent boy that means nobody helping me
I did it on my own, so you can't tell me nothing when I, wait
Now that's my pride talking
I get a little cocky when I hear the beat knocking
I get a little caught up in my ego when I'm praised by these people
And they try to lift me higher than the steeple
Gotta kill all that
Sometimes I talk about how real I rap
And then I try to say I'm humble too
And then I realize my hypocrisy
And try to shake it off me and these rappers
All around me like, whats up with you
See they just don't get it
Killing off my flesh, born again in the spirit
Fiendin' tryin' to get near it
So every time I sin I gotta whip and power steer it
Try to pull a 180, drive the other way and clear it
That's repentance homie
I'm 21 so you'd have thought I'd learned my lesson homie
Doing all the junk I did
And suffering the consequences of my actions
Ain't no wonder why I'm asking for forgiveness
'Cause I need it, by myself I'm defeated
But if my God is for me, who can stand against me
Like David and Goliath slinging smooth stones
Into the enemy's forehead, getting morbid
After which God-willing we gon' enter into orbit
It's getting chilly now
'Cause once I talk about my faith
Then Y'all don't feel me now
But who's faking boy enlighten me
You coming with that water but
You can't put out that light in me
In spite of the audacity, you try to bring me down now
Most the people that I used to roll with ain't around now
Either 'cause they think it's stupid 'cause the way I'm living
Or they always gas me up steady leeching for a handout
Y'all don't feel me
But yo we in it for the long haul buddy
I got that something that no mortal man can take it from me
All day and night we putting in that work like Kid Cudi
But the chances are you'll hate me 'fore you love me
Real homie what's up
