Resurgence

Uh yeah I'm all done searching But the world keeps turning Yeah turn me up Yo it started off at 16 when life was pristine I'm on the six-speed rolling through thinking up big dreams Peddling a shoe box of discs, couldn't even give these I dropped the act and moved on I had to get green Putting the rap on hold I played the long game The college put my head in the books like fucking Mark Twain I was offstage as people were passing by in the wrong lane But they burned out before they done break 'cause they just sought fame And it took some time to see this shit was not a race Needed to stand on my own two like in a squat cage Wasn't making the same mistakes that come and hurt you Took control of my affairs and trusted patience was a virtue I'm all set I can just spit it without the pressure Not coming through for the money, I'm just doing this for the pleasure When it's all said, that was the reason y'all hadn't heard of me 'Cause I was the investment not coming due 'til maturity But I'm here now And I'm looking around but there's no one else I don't need your help The only thing that can hold me down is myself Hanging back in the shadows I was working Trying to find the real me but I'm all done searching I'ma stay right here while the world keeps turning Coming full circle now this is my resurgence It's the 2020s, the mindset's go go go But with a little self-awareness that's a no-go zone I'm out forging my own path I'm in YOLO mode Got nothing taken me down there's no promo code I'm not into the follower culture that can box you in I just see the route y'all are going and run opposite Limited options when there's all these kids like half my age Dominating the waves rapping about their mental states "Ah c'mon man, that's just generalizational talk" What? That the youth today is as motivated as bullfrogs? I'm through the ringer, I planned my six-hour wedding bro But six years later I'm still writing out thank you notes Easy to get discouraged, ask me why I did it? They'll always be some out the woodwork yelling at me to quit it I don't do this shit for them but it tells you lots when Not everyone's a fan but they're still around watching But I'm here now And I'm looking around but there's no one else (Oh shit) Don't need your fucking help The only thing that can hold me down is myself Hanging back in the shadows I was working Trying to find the real me but I'm all done searching I'ma stay right here while the world keeps turning Coming full circle now this is my resurgence I'm staying right here Yeah
