Everything that glitters ain't gold
And everything that's gold ain't real
They say I like to struggle
Well I rather struggle than cut a deal
I hate when people tell me what to do
And try to tell me how I feel
I'm my own man I'm a warrior
And gods my shield
I can't hide my truth
Even if i'm closed off in the booth
I remember being broke with lame ass shoes
When everyone else had polo boots and jimmy choos
Always had the girls in my world but when I lost myself I lost them too
My mothers grip was tight so it was hard for me to stay loose
Never lose that's my truth
Keep it real never fluke
I've always loved music
Beautiful sounds like a flute inspire me to do what I do
Smoking heavy leaning hard that's why I used to do
But when I started Hallucinating I put that down to
My mama had no clue what I wanted to do
Shit me neither all I knew is I had a fire in me like an ether
I've always kept it real and I love my mama I'd never cheat her
Never wanted to kill nobody and nobody ever wanted to kill me either
I remember driving home in 30 degree weather still made it with no heater
Car broke down I'm broke down but God aint no misleader
A flame and a name with a black body and big brain
I wanted the money and the fame and to bring change to the game
I wanted everyone to know my name so I never felt ashamed to be lame
Back In the day when all we wanted was to kick back and play video games
I'm ashamed to proclaim that I could never attain that fame
But now that I see clearly I believe I can still coast in my own lane and be Wealthy like Bill Gates
Now that I say this truth aloud it sounds funny
Because I know the world wouldn't never believe this art came from this Brown dummy
Is that the same nigga who used to be in class trying to be funny
The same nigga sleeping in his car but couldn't ask for money
Too proud to say he had a car and didn't want to complain
Still wishing for his mothers love in a mobile domain
Still got love for his father and would never dream of changing his name
I'm f*cked up
Life is f*cked up
Love is f*cked up
Scared for my life so I believed I had to keep my semi tucked
Just in case 12 came around and didn't have his coffee or doughnut
Still believe in the system but the system don't believe in us
The black young americans just trying to find a decent living and to stay Away from a judge
Who do we call when our own people turn against us?
Who do you call when we get tired of being quiet
And decide the semi no Longer needs to be tucked
You scared huh?
You ain't scared when you watch my people on that TV screen
Getting the Green and chasing championships and rings
You ain't scared when you see my people on the TV screen
Getting Nominated for things you'll forget when they leave
You ain't scared when you pull us over and mistake our bling for a sling
Goliaths
