Yo my rhymes are great

Like the wall that lines inner Mongolia

I'm fighting hard in my life

But my opponent's tough

I was frightened by

What my mind said

When I was on those drugs

So I had to stop drop and roll

Like I was ignited

Tough love

Came from all of those

That were so fed up

From seeing me go downhill

Like a boulder

When the earth just shook

It's hard to realize

The pain and the anguish

That you put

Your loved ones through

When you're loathing

In your self dug rut

You say that you can get better

But then there's always that but

Like it's 1 am with a stranger

On your way home from the club

Useless excuses

Don't see the wrong in your doings

But trust

Your day of reckoning will come

And your world will be crushed

Take it from me

I've been in these shoes

Waking up from nights of Xanax's

Feeling a little confused

With no recollection of events

That were previously pursued

You have no choice but to pay the piper

When your bill is due

The lights from my neurons firing

Stay bright when I'm in the booth

Flying out the barrel

And I hit you before you can move

Call me Kuzco

Because I'm looking for my groove

I'm tossing up dos

When I'm peeling out

I got a point to prove

That if I put the time in

I'd be getting paid like an 8 to 5 shift

But I'm not willing to sacrifice

Time away from my kids

Took a couple trips

It tore me up inside

Flipped a switch

Now my dad mode is in overdrive

It's in the floor playing

Put down the Playstation

No tik tok videos

Because I'm busy making

Memories with my children

Because they won't be babies

Forever and reminiscing about playing with them later

Aint gonna do me no good

On a mission

Wishing that I would've listened

To them old dudes

That was spitting wisdom

But I thought that I knew it all

Proved to be wrong

Damned do if I don't

But I can't dwell on it

I get up and move on

Through experience

I learn my lessons

And try my hardest to retain the knowledge that I'm blessed with

No flexin

I want all of us to be successful

And I'm gonna keep on writing

Until we sit up on that level

Put in the hours

Constantly sharpen my pencil

Not willing to sell my soul

So getting exposure is detrimental

From the ground up

I'm hand laying every brick

And when I listen back to these songs

I'm nodding

I'm proud of them

I'm proud of all of my guys

Proud of the hours spent

I'm proud to have my daughter telling me

How awesome this song is

And it means a lot to me

That I have all these friends and family

Willing to rock with me

But I'm tired of hypocrisy

And I know that there will be a time

In life when you deny me

Like the disciple Pete did Jesus

But I promise that won't bother me

No crying over spilt milk

Don't need apologies

I've got my crew and it's a small circle

But they're all I need

Couple homies rolling up

With a pound a piece

With some stuff that will hit you

Like a hook from Apollo Creed

Another bud that could decipher the Bible

And have chills flowing down your spine

When he starts to preach

What I'm saying is

We come from different backgrounds

But spiritually we're related

These failures that I overcame

Are all just a part of the process

Of learning what I'm made of

And I'm gonna keep on growing

Like Pinnochio's nose

When he's saying fibs
