Lyrics

Living on expectation
I'm never living up to hate
I'm tryna find my piece of grace
It's time to get stoic so I practice patience
Living on the expectations
They expected me to kill my other half
Expectations made me wonder where's my past
Say I'm an artist there's so many who just lie
Never had nobody I could talk about my past
They say it's lonely at the top but it's been lonely at the bottom
Not so many off my block but they don't see that as a problem
**** 12 and with a Glock
They be growing off this robbing
All these kids will keep on clutching
I just wonder how I solve it
Cause I relate those expectations had me jogging
My favorite rapper
Keep on telling me to pop it
If they talking shit
Then you should go and rock it
But if I go and take your life
Could you just tell me what that's solving
Living on expectation
Never living up to hate
Tryna find my piece of grace
This time we getting slower so I practice patience
Wonder where I'd be
I know success it ain't free
And even worse it ain't cheap
But I ain't scared to take a jump know I enjoy all of the leaps
They expected me to give up where I am
But if I give up would I be the type of man
With no limits put it all inside my hands
I just wanna teach the world but they ain't giving me a chance
Just got in the water and I'm bout to make a splash
This ain't for money man I'm barely making cash
Hope you feel sunny when you go to hear me rap
Tryna make a feeling get that savage out your hat
I said I once was in the streets
But now I'm rapping all this happiness
Know some people peep that shit
And gon think that that's some sappy shit
I would agree if I was 16
Still believing in my blasting and shit
But as I'm keep on getting older
All these streets been seeing no wackin shit
Lose your brother to that pilly that's some trapping shit
Other brother gon do 50 why this happening
He with his bro now that **** get to ratting quick
Wonder why he never called but it's too late he causing tragedy
You're hitting licks, mama said you can't play tron
You hitting licks momma said you can't play truant
Dropped out of school oh really wonder what you doing
**** talk about the school you hate to feel like you was losing
You don't even ever care for where you leave, it's your eyes
Had no mask, man, I thought they was Josh
You don't even have a care for where you leaving shit rotting
I know mass man I thought they was Josh
That shit was off to make me think you was stupid for pop
Living on a expectation
Never living up to that hating
Tryna find my place in this greatness
But this time we getting slower
So I practice patience
They expected me to kill my other half
Ex pec ta tions
Made me wanna waste my time
Say I'm an artist
When I just started
Been thinking bout the revolutionaire
Evolution in the air and in my body
That's cause times is changing changing changing
Breaking from these chains and
Breaking from this slavery
They just want my brain brain brain
I see why they be hating
Know they wanna take me
