I done put up with so much hate

So bad it started to penetrate

My mind I began to contemplate

Whether I'm really meant to create

No way no way no way no way

I'm not gonna debate

If I was really made

To open my mind

Never really wanted anybody inside

Always in a battle with myself I swear

I didn't want you to be caught in a crossfire

Always had a busy mind it never got tired

You stealing my energy I had to cut the wire

Never tell it to your face but I use satire

If you get it right then you're on fire

I been thinking of myself as a double edged sword

As you can see

I strive to be transparent with you but you still can't see through me

Double Edged sword got a positive and negative side but it's still all good for me

Always when it has to do with you and I but never when it has to do with me and me

I swear I always self sabotage

Whenever I start winning

(Yo)

(It's so bad it's so bad it's so bad)

I swear my old self wants her then and me now to always be twinning

And I know that I'm stronger than all of my opps

'Cause I'm always the one who succeeds in betraying me

Man I gotta decide 'cause I've been sick and tired of getting so close but not being who I'm meant to be

And it's all because of the words that were said to me

When I was barely conscious of the world that was surrounding me

Even though they're not in my life no more it never stops

But it's been drilled into my head now I'm doing their job

I done put up with so much hate(I done put up with so much hate I)

So bad it started to penetrate

My mind I began to contemplate

Whether I'm really meant to create

No way no way no way no way

I'm not gonna debate

If I was really made

To open my mind

Never really wanted anybody inside

Always in a battle with myself I swear

I didn't want you to be caught in a crossfire

Always had a busy mind it never got tired

You stealing my energy I had to cut the wire

Never tell it to your face but I use satire

If you get it right then you're on fire

I done put up with so much hate

So bad it started to penetrate

My mind I began to contemplate

Whether I'm really meant to create

No way no way no way no way

I'm not gonna debate

If I was really made

To create

To create

I don't know why you're so afraid of your own potential.

Even your mom said it herself.

You can't be afraid of the thing that got you to where you are today.

You create because you're meant to.

It's your calling.

Music makes you feel free and joyful.

You write, produce and sing because you love it. It's your way of expressing yourself.

You can't be afraid of people from the past to the point where their opinions start to matter more than those who are deliberately supporting you.

Music has always been inside you.

It's time you learn who you are.

You live music.
