I was blind
But now I can see, see, see, see
JSK shit
Blinded so much I ain't seen, it seems like I cannot be me
They all are my friends but the ones judging me
I look in the mirror and feel disapproved
They ain't laughing with, they all laughing at you
I come from a city where no one pursues
My parents ain't make it, shit I gotta do, got shit Ima prove
The voices get deeper when money goes higher, it seems like a name is some you can go buy now
They struggled, they tussled, they grinding, they liars
You put in the work, you might burn in your fire
I don't want no fame, make my parents retire
But if I get the fame show the kids to aspire
They cop that lil chain but they can't walk a mile
Them ones they say next haven't heard in a while
Heard in a while
I heard none of them in a while, haha
Uh, uh
Uh
Behind the curtains they cold as the devil
They might just switch if the bread come in better
They not your homies they use you for levels
Seen it plenty times, they come, make you special
Everyone hurting, we all live in pain
Felt all the pressure since I graduated
Know it's my time it's a matter of waiting
It's just a matter of time
'Till they start to recognize
Game gonna give you a value
What do you value? Money and power too
How many times has the world said it's proud of you?
Sucks when homies get mixed up with the powder and fumes
My brother you changed, is you lost or confused?
I'm scared ima see your name on the lil news
Everything that I tell you is only the truth
You can believe it or walk in that noose
Have you been hearing the shit on the news?
They saying it's cool, act endearing then"shoo"
I been ignoring the shit that be loose
Ducking your calls like a child, I goose
Brother drown in the Goose
Temper blow like a fuse
This that
This that lifestyle that don't really feel new
O runnin' ranpid, my town like the zoo
I gotta be honest and really let loose
I gotta stop fronting and be real with you, I get lost in my mind wanting life just to boom
Reminiscing my enemy, I always lose, I pray for the better days, they don't come true
True
Would you bet it come true?
I can bet it come true, oh, yeah
Dylan the kid, he going by Balance, he jumped off the porch just to show off his talents
He pray for a day where his voice make him millions
His goals his ambitions reach further than ceilings
He wants 'em to feel it, they don't really feel it
They get in they feelings when he make a killing
They hype you up 'till you painted as the villain
He look in the mirror, his thoughts always grill him
He get lost but he pray to get found
After all he one man in his town
He done seen all his peoples turn bad
That's the path he don't wanna go down
He pray that it come for him and his dawgs
They saying"amen he gon turn to a star"
He do what he can just to raise him the bar
Would you watch from afar?
