lyrics

Everybody wants your spot
when you’re comin off the top
They don’t know you had it rough
They just see you got the rock
Can’t be mad
You make this shit look too easy tho
They just wish they had the throne
But don’t get too comfortable

My boss checkin me like why you always late
I dont mean no harm no this aint no power play
And now a days I’m feelin like I’m waking up just to get paid
Ain’t that a shame
Cuz you know you aint teaching no way
Why these books say
slavery ended years ago
They don’t show the new Jim Crow
My brother still work behind bars for a $1.54
Tell me why do they do that for
If they really want us to grow

Keep ya head
Even when the road is hard never give up
Always look up
Keep ya head up
When the road is hard never give up
Always look up
Keep ya head up


The ghetto turned into a white hipster haven
Gentrification
I used to get food from a shelter
Food stamps welfare
Paying rent on credit cards
Like how you got a degree
But can’t get a job
They make this shit so hard
Now I just work smart
Use my gifts from god
Speak my truth go hard
Always keeping up my guard
You’ll never catch me slipping
Up watch me how I switch it up
Aint holding up
No one can stop me
Not giving up
Even when I have dark thoughts
Of suicide
Draining me of my energy
I was petrified
Scared of everything I could do
Thought I’d have to sell out just to get that view
Depressed and broke
How they be distracting me
Never thought I could MC
Worried bout death or my next paycheck
Now im living good and write nice checks
Cuz it falls down
Reaching my Apex
And put on my crown
Dodging snakes and zombies
All my life been a black sheep
But I stay blessed
And I won’t rest
Til I show the world all that I can be
Sold out arenas, name in lights, autographin adidas
Sometimes I still feel like I’m stuck
All this work ain’t adding up
Too hard on myself
Powerless
Vote like it matters
Left or right
They’re all reptiles and actors
