(Hook)
I used to feel hopeless, then I got focused
Once my dude Focus, said rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
I said, I'ma try
(Verse)
Look, now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I'm thankful I have food to eat
A place to stay, and in the winter there was heat
And I had garments I could wear, shoes or snickers for my feet
I didn't starve, wasn't touched
Wasn't bad, wasn't beat
I'm not a cripple, not retarded
Look ,before I get to deep , I'm just saying
See I'm just saying that I'm blessed
But being blessed don't make me weak
And my success is not contingent or possessive when I speak
It's for a place, where the kids gotta pour for their eyes
To have a beverage ,'cause they dead and all they want is supply
The expectancy of life, is around 35 in my hood
But in some countries, it's an honor to die
It's from a place where you struggle and the curtain is your table cloth
Your kitchen is your dining room ,they keep cutting the cable off
This is where my verses get dangerous, and the safety's off
Riddle with regret and we stressing out from the days we lost
Or we dealing with a crazy boss, stuck on a lazy course
A tired hand, pray to talk
Realized that what I called hard living, was barely soft
Unsunk maybe, but that was the way I came across
Now when I be playing Ross I don't feel stupid
Used to think it's unfair that I do spirit moving music
Used to lose it, but you choose it
'Cause you it's proven that the truth is still the food you should consume
I'm mixing humor with the tutoring all
I bring you pain like it's a tumor, or a rumor
But I rap it like for half my life I live without a room
It's like a Michael took flight, and started walking on the moon
I walk out reaching for the sun, so I could talk with all the goons
And you could see what I invision, picture sitting in the park
Tryin' to make a living moving white after dark
If steppin' on a crack can break your mother's back
Imagine, instead of stepping you sellin, you'd break her heart
(Hook)
I used to feel hopeless, then I got focused
Once my dude Focus, said rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
He said, rap like you homeless
(Verse)
My words come together so ill, I deserve sentencing
Words coming together, that's a sentence with an exclamation point
'Cause a period means an ending
And I'm far from being finished, they spitting on my head hemorrhaging
It's evident, I never been hesitant when I represent myself in the creator
I'm heaven sent, got no benefits
So when I said I'm sick with the flow
Although I need medicine at times
All I had was these rhymes, see I was negligent
A 9 to 5 is how you survive, my dude's is pedalent
My mother was my hero, or better yet my heroine
The weather's been, stormy malevolent
And the present tense is all I focus on that's my emphasis
To remember that sentence, that I was mentioning
Just know I never fail look
Before I go to jail, I would probably grow a tail
And get a part with my name , in the back of my head
They only praise how you rap when you're dead
But so what?
I rhyme with no pot to piss in
My dollar mission is not consistent
My obvious opposition is poverty, I'm efficient I promise
My competition is not who you like to listen to
I just think my position is loving the life I'm living
The industry, they cannot control me
My path ain't been rozey, my facebook status is holy
That's half of the story, I'm mad you don't know
I'm happy you owe me, I laugh when I'm lonely
I'm mad new genovli I'm going left
Holding my breath, let my soul interject
Every line, every time that I show you my death
All that you know, you should know that I know I'm the best
It's like I'm closer to death when I gave a hole in my chest
And a microphone in my face I don't know what you rap
With every month I been consistent you should show me respect
Doubt me, and you defeat yourself
I love the new me, every day I meet myself
I battle mirrors ,try to beat myself
You wanna make me history ,well history repeats itself
Like shy
Stimuli the greatest
You can't rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 he's 16
Used to write 16 to sound like he was homeless at 16
What I offer is authentic , there's no deny
You rappin to buy an auto, I'm rappin' my auto bio
