Sing About Me

Stuck in this life, stuck in the prison

Stuck by perception and lack of vision

Stuck by design, not by decision

Stuck in my ways, stuck in the system, I'm stuck

But fuck having an image

I really be fuckin' with you 'cause you don't be rappin' them gimmicks

Your vernacular is something supreme, surpassing the limits

See my everyday struggle was actually academics my nigga

You got it mastered, I'd be considered the average

Joe, but in these streets I've adapted well to these tactics

Impregnated with sin, made money my wife

And that's 'cause a Lexus is valued more than a life in my hood

I heard your papa got murdered when you was young

Seen an interview, you spoke on emotion, how you was numb

But you still grew and did it congruent to doing something you love

I think it's love how you made it out where you from

See the truth is an art that even the hardest can feel

Spit that block shit, you need to get back with Marty for real

I'm glad he fought his appeal

'Cause when them crackers tryna crack you they make you targets for real

But tell me God isn't real

The very thought of a skill that dedication could nurture

Furthers my intuition that hesitation could hurt you

Be strong, be humble, be wise, be on your shit

Be quick on your feet, be hip to these niggas that's on your dick

Real shit, stay up on your focus and observation

Pick your friends by characteristics and conversation

Good word is worth more than a billion

Fuck celebrity, money should never motivate man

More than integrity, see

They trapped my body but never could take my mind

I had every watch that money could buy, but wasted time

Pushed every car a nigga could dream but lacked the drive

To take the smarter road so to speak, but that was pride

The black race is no rat race, a competion

I can't even get a letter from bitches I sponsored, trickin'

Tricked into thinking it was some loyalty to this shit

That she would see me locked and treat me like royalty in this bitch

You got something special, and your speech is specified

It's like an extra vibe that keeps your message electrified

See I was known for packing a MAC, crackin' a forty

Stackin', mackin' a shorty

Back and forth in New York, niggas pushin' packages for me

All that hazardous glory

The pressures of perseverance, won't let my passions ignore me but

Ashes to ashes, we're living life like a movie verse really mappin' the story

I won't be back 'til I'm forty but I promise this

All my future achievements and accomplishments

Will be based on cognitive equity and consciousness

But you can't buy a soda, it ain't for sponsorship

This for my real street niggas, shorty you are the shit

I got niggas all in the pen sayin' you hard as shit

And I don't do friendships, I do partnerships

You play your part, I play my part, and we go far as shit

Remember steel sharpen steel so it still ain't no reason to let niggas chill around you if they dull as shit

'Cause when all this shit said and done and we call it quits

I hope that your legacy shine

Press down, shake it and run it seventy times

I wish you heaven divine, a million blessings a line

I pray it's never a second your brilliant essence decline

I say this shit just to say I used all these lessons to climb

So every time I felt lost, the more direction I find

Your rare essence in mind, is rooted beyond deep

Like Pac said, the rose that grew from the concrete, is you

I watched you full out bloom in a dark room

Unfold from the inside then flew out of your cocoon

Your imagination, concentration, fascination

To trial and tribulation, to master your transformation

I hope you take this message in with all of your growth

Hit the studio, make a mixtape, and call it the G.O.A.T

Peace
