Okay, uh, uh

Picture a young that used to live for the summer

Skip meals to run amongst all this biz

Now fast-forward up a few years

That gaited little kid, he growed up and all the sudden had to pay bills

My current dichotomy grown from peak curiosity (Tim-ma beats, time to take over)

Guess I didn't know that part of the deal

Or know how quick it get real

Feelin' so fleetin', me and myself need a meetin' to make it clearer

Conversate with the mirror

Watch your language when talkin' to me, I'm the one that's with you

Speak some life in the self, you should opt into optimism

When options turn into prisons, gettin' off with the slimmest pickings

Remember this place is a thief for joy, yeah, the steal

But, no matter how much it take, I got more to give

I know that this world is all I'm givin'

And all of these thrills don't count for livin'

A little more will is all it takes

So I persevere, I'm not afraid

And right when it's fallin' off, not all is lost

It's givin' me chills, I got 'em feelin'

I gotta see stars and cars, I'm whippin'

'Cause none of my dreams involve a ceilin'

I seen a child raise a village and he didn't come from no privilege

That made me conquer some limits

I've arisen from prisons, head-on collision

But visions I had back then, it was written

I've been walkin' in purpose

I've been culturin' myself on life tellin' me that it's worth it

It's some things, I'm still gon' improve in the time, man, it's perfect

Still paranoid that I make it loose like some toxin been lurkin'

Anticipatin' my every move, on the back of my shirt is a target

Made to play me a fool, I won't fall to the serpent

Swear to God I've been workin'

Like a doctor and surgent

Tryna piece together the pieces and heal up what hurt

My vice to feist 'til it don't, it shows

My passion might lead me to where life is, an open door

Sometimes it takes more

Sometime it take a lil' bit more to keep me right

Always shoot a best if you ain't notice what we like

Swear I miss so much the days we was rollin' for pays on whites

And Lord, it done been some nights

But I'm growin' inside this world, it keep rollin'

I know that this world is all I'm givin'

And all of these thrills don't count for livin'

A little more will is all it takes

So I persevere, I'm not afraid

And right when it's fallin' off, not all is lost

It's givin' me chills, I got 'em feelin'

I gotta see stars and cars, I'm whippin'

'Cause none of my dreams involve a ceilin'
