Lyrics:
[Intro] The main focus for my music, whether it be the production or the lyrics is My travels, you know, the outside environment really plays a huge part in what I make I write all my rhymes outside, you know Every city I go to I set up my studio in the hotel, I make the beats during the day, I start coming up with ideas And I just hit the streets and start walking and whatever I see really just kind of inspires me It may not be literally but it always finds its way into my music The streets, the city is my main inspiration [Verse 1] I never asked to be born, and death's no question The sun's still shining off the same old lessons Then why does life feel like an educated guess and My thoughts like meals I'm a sucker for the seconds Impressions got a lot of us stressing But how we are perceived is more about a reflection And the perception's warm that I receive Which leads to believe these hoes like what I heave Tall women in heels, tour money and deals Man off the no bull I like all money for real More time abroad and less time at home Less time for broads and more time in zones, yeah I'm in it while flying out of another one This a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one 'Cause the dream feel real'er than it ever been And I was aiming high like a nigga being president The possibilities of that are seeming pretty evident So being self employed is now seeming like a definite But staying that way is what I'm F'ing with And like minded people be the only ones I'm messing with [Hook] Ayo this so real Not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still Living in the moment got a hopeless feel But the feeling in itself got its own appeal I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be Alright [Verse 2] I'm trying to get mine in this lifetime The afterlife is much further in the pipeline I'm in inclined to believe that but truth is That for death, any moment is the right time So I live like everyday it's my last But I plan for tomorrow as if I will never pass A Pharaoh on the subway who never had dreams of jets But fell asleep on runways, I just know that one day That anything I needed I could mold Get everything you want it ain't always good for the soul A mix of self worth, some help, little control And I don't know the rest, good as mine is your guess The recipe ain't the best, to make it though is our quest And if you choose to accept, the meaning of life is yes (yes, yes, yes, yes) Cause only God knows Those of us in the flesh, get the privilege to test and Some will fail and some will pass. We all get the Same grade though when we run the path, but how you grade Yourself is the mark that will matter most to separate The heart of the strong and the battered folks, have a dose [Hook] Ayo this so real Not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still Living in the moment got a hopeless feel But the feeling in itself got its own appeal I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be Alright [Verse 3] Ayo, shit so real Kill shit to live nigga, schizo feel, I got a Hunger for knowledge and I miss no meals, I stay High off life and I miss no pills I'm addicted to the thrill of walking along the edge Not knowing what lies ahead but always knowing the deal I'm good with my decisions, the set backs and gains Is all a part of the game, I'm ready to spin the wheel What ever is in store, I'm ready for it, for sure With the attitude of wealth and the gratitude of the poor The balance is the challenge and I sit so still between Callus and analysis but this no frills, I'm off the Chain, been that way since slaves to Flav from 93 till infinity I'm slated in ways that's Etched in stone, the age where we market ourselves I'm still all about the music, I don't monitor plays I don't monitor hits and I don't monitor clicks I monitor the snare drum and the bottom of kicks Is anybody left that still fuck with this true shit Well let me hear you scream over top of this CRU shit [Hook] Ayo this so real Not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still Living in the moment got a hopeless feel But the feeling in itself got its own appeal I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'mma be Alright
