El - Gifted Lyrics

Came up from the bottom
Found a way to reach the stardom
But I don't ever think about it
Tell the labels all I want from them is money to construct my house
Another one for momma
Pay my whip
Maybe go spend around
But then again I need assurance
Promises
Not life insurance
I feel the evil within quickly merging
Watch me hack and slash all my opposing team
Don't come to clean
I want the blood they shed to be the evidence that people need
I'm not the one to mess with
Need protection
Call progressive
I'm progressing through my tribulations
Wait a minute
Call the nation
Tell them that I'm on my way
So make a station
It took a lot of patience
Got no time to take vacation
Keep it racing
Pacing through the flames
Used to be afraid
But now it's home since I've been critically acclaimed
I see so many telling me they love it
But I know somehow they're bugging
Because they're begging me to run it up until I end the day with nothing
What me
I'm a gifted person with a talent that is burning up the envious
So envy this and lose yourself within the fairy dust
Since you've been fantasizing all about the fame and what can come with lust
Stop
I've been putting my life into my hands
Because I don't want no one to blame another when I'm on the stand
Or getting judged whether I enter heaven
Thrown in hell
I know I fell
But these are consequences I can take
So know I'm doing well
But until that day
Ima live it by the seconds
Because so many people keep forgetting when we're young we're chasing riches
With the energy
A mission
But when old we're getting stitches and somehow it's been the love that we've been missing
Listen
Check yourself
I know what it is to be the only one that's left behind
No need to hide
I know that as a dropout there's no being stable
I can fill my pockets full of cash or I can end up throwing trash
Dashing through my thoughts
This ain't right
I know that I'm bright
Lord forgive the people thinking that I'm in it for the money
I just want a steady life
A better view
I'll look at it as sunny
Funny how a couple hundreds got the world rotating
And a bunch are bending over backwards for retaliation
Wait a minute
Tell me why I'm not the one to change the business
Cure the sickness dwelling deep within the one's who lack forgiveness
I feel I'm gifted
Like I have a purpose in this music
From the 60 months ago
I guess I'll say I've been improving
Went from starting out alone and never asking for a loan
To being talked about and tossed around for lies I never compromised
Why
All my life
I've been bullied
Thrown around
I wanted out
But sound is reason I was found
Oh my God
Treat me like a dog
I can't believe the closest to me chose to rob
They stole my dreams
But not my hope and now I'm keeping it real close and I cannot commit their error on another
I'll do better
Let em be and find their way
Because I won't question their own fate
Wait
Hate
That ain't nothing new to me
The hell that I reside inside has suddenly turned heavenly
I know so many wonder how I gained in my position
I was studying and strategizing all of my ambitions
Ain't no wishing in the trenches
Even wealthy have their sessions where they suffer equally and sometimes more
But we don't even see
Please
I know I'm different
Used to think I was mistaken
But today I'm feeling like I'm gifted
Higher excellence is given when we earn it
Ain't no kidding
Nowadays I'm all about the business
Ain't no thieves
We never switching
No variety has ever beaten quality
I'm loyal to my art
Monogamy
I pound my enemies within a beat of heart
I'm going hard and not forget about the start
I did my part
But see I'm thinking of what is to come
One more time
This ain't right
I know that I'm bright
Did it with no help
Didn't need to sell
I know it well
I know I fell
But needed hell
Sleazy
