I got a lot of shit on my mind lately

This is how I get it out

Gotta make certain decisions in life and sometimes that can be hard

So that's what this shit is about

just sit back and... and listen

Listen

Listen

I don't know what to do

I don't know what to choose

I wanna be just like mike

But i cant find a way to fit in his shoes

I gotta shoot

The boy got a chip on his shoulder

But **** won't know it

Until it's way too late to move

Catching strays like a dog pound I face the abuse

Humanity makin a **** miss all his youth

I'm missin the truth

Locate my vision of what I got to fucking prove

Tying the noose

On my future while the time is tickin there is no excuse

I already wasted talents from god

I'll be damned if I waste this one too

Im sorry dad I had the skills to play ball but I ain't do nothin to bloom

Im sorry dad

But I've been put on this earth to make a fucking difference

I always felt that I was always on the bravest mission

To be greater than a regular **** I wanna bleed different

I gotta stand on my pigment

I gotta Stand on my business

Question is tho

Yeah

Can I rise above the climate

Can I rise above the violence

Can I rise above the clouds of doubt

Or die to pressure silence

See I'm rising

Risin to the top of the dome

Question is tho

Can I do this all on my own

Can I keep my head above the water

Yeah I wanna

But the big dreams

Seem to always turn into drama

But mama can you stick by just a little bit longer

I'm working on decisions tryna get a lil bit stronger

I Cannot focus on the could have been

Focus on the now and witness

Don't be a bystander wit the cameras they be trippin

They be watchin from a distance

They Some pervs

But that's kinda what we all do now

We watch from a distance lurkin on a **** profile

Just to see what he about

Just to see if he got clout

Is he worth your time or is he one you rather be without

Nobody gets the bigger picture like it's fuckin paramount

Yeah we play the game of life but we all take the same route

So then we spin the wheel

Who gets highest number gets the better deal

Who gets lowest number is the one that's gotta feel

It's all abt the hand that we played

Look we don't get a choice

But isn't that the beauty In pain

Because you get a voice

You strip the wall down that's blocking you from all the noise

They can't play wit yo soul

Like it's a lil fucking toy

Got that armor on you like a vest

No one can destroy

Yeah

Can I rise above the climate

Can I rise above the violence

Can I rise above the clouds of doubt

Or die to pressure silence

See I'm rising

Risin to the top of the dome

Question is tho

Can I do this all on my own

Can I keep my head above the water

Yeah I wanna

But the big dreams

Seem to always turn into drama

But mama can you stick by just a little bit longer

I'm working on decisions tryna get a lil bit stronger

Look I'm playin games with hunger

Cuz I volunteer my mind as tribute

Go to war for bread then I break it my story will continue

I spent 10,000 hours in this studio tryna convince you

That im evolving like a Pokémon callin me mewtwo

Don't take no orders from nobody I'm not on the menu

I promised god im gon be better then all of the other men who

Conquer the world and then just sit on they ass and pretend too

Give a fuck abt the ones who would die to protect you

I would die to protect you

I will never neglect you

Every decision I make

It is all to uplift you

But I get shaky with my indecision

Makin mistakes

I'm prayin god just give me grace

To Protect you from strays

From the consequences of the past choices I made

Shit I forgot to mention mind was locked up in a cage

My life is on stop

But I won't let the legacy fade

Yeah

Can I rise above the climate

Can I rise above the violence

Can I rise above the clouds of doubt

Or die to pressure silence

See I'm rising

Risin to the top of the dome

Question is tho

Can I do this all on my own

Can I keep my head above the water

Yeah I wanna

But the big dreams

Seem to always turn into drama

But mama can you stick by just a little bit longer

I'm working on decisions tryna get a lil bit stronger
