[Verse 1]
One of my idols taught to
Try for what you love, because the chance is just as great
If not way greater some would say, that you could fail at what you hate
For acting absent, lacking passion when you’re playing it safe
Now I’m a waste, I spent two decades all chained in that state
So what, was I supposed to spit with no contingency plan?
Licking these lyrical jams livid and pissed at The Man?
And frikkin shit on what was given to me? Privileges, damn
Listen I didn’t take a chance to live my scripture in-hand
So now I work a 9-5, plus some overtime, earning for
These checks that bounce some of the time, what have I been yearning for?
Turning this pastime and this hobby into perfect form
But what if I learned that I sucked at what my passion’s burning for?
This isn’t the prettiest living setup, admittedly
I’ve been up and down and out, because of spitting religiously
I live by squashing demons with the singing within me
But I’m not following my dreams, instead I’m bringing em with me, wassup

[Chorus]
I really believe in what I’m yearning for, working towards
I’m never leaving this fervor, burning torch, lurching forth
Learning to stomach my troubles, turn to morals for support
I’ma keep on keeping at it ‘til I’ve got the perfect score
I’ll never give up, never give in
Trials tearing me up, wearing me thin
While everything’s tough, I’ll let it sink in
I keep at it cuz I love it, nothing’s better than this

[Verse 3]
Don’t be a phony, don’t be the lonely ‘fraid kid
Don’t be the only homie who’s roaming through the vacant, homes
And those who know me know I’m solely dedicated
To what I’ve put my faith in, but do I know when to say quit?
Sometimes I think of me as older and rapping
Like maybe forty and married and telling stories to bratty
Annoying 4-year-olds, over cold leftovers and asking:
“Should I have put the pen down and pretended I’m happy?”
Nahh, this is what I love to do, you shun me? I won’t fuck with you
These fuckers in their 20’s are bumping nothing like my fucking tunes
“What’s with you?” Maybe I don’t give a fuck what others do
Because I love my fucking crew and all I need’s a trusty few
Thanks Support Tha Underground, UOT, and Diezel
All my Followers and Likes, Heath and Mo, my people
For keeping me a free-flowing breathing focused freakshow
I do this cuz I fucking love it, even though these scenes don’t know
