Can't seem to find time for myself
I be too busy, being there for everybody else
My own problems, I threw 'em, all on the shelf
It's time to solve 'em, now what? Everybody's deaf
Or, playing blind when it comes to mine
I'd lying
If I said that I didn't see no sign
They probably been cut me off a long time ago
Drag my name through the mud, more than ever before
God forbid, I did half the shit they did
Rarely come through when I be needing them the most
Then, be online posting all the realest quotes, I be so amused
There's more to life than followers, likes, and views
Now, before it gets worse
Putting myself first
Stress'll kill you
Be a loner in that black hearse
Now, they're tryna figure out who to blame
Rest in Peace, grandpa
Since you left so much has changed
Jah Jah neva let me down
Fake friends dem come around
But wah dem gonna do yah now
Purpose, me ah chase di purpose
Nuff ah dem would've liked to see me drop off di surface
Dem see wi, and dem don't know
Sometimes, yuh affi do it solo
And, we nuh do it for no promo
Love inna wi heart fi mi enemies
Purpose can't die, mi ah tell yuh disss
Ooh, la la
Could be wrong, but seems like we all got a lot going on
Doc prescribed me buspirone, and trazodone
Still got some left, figured I'd face this cruel world on my own
Everyday, I'm fighting, too
Y'all are not alone
I'm still praying, y'all find better coping mechanisms
Drugs, and alcohol, still turning lots to victims
R.I.P, left a void in loved ones
Some overcame, I'm proud of y'all
A life long battle, keep on standing tall
Know the pressure's real
Tryna maximize our skills
While, balancing out, paying all these bills
Be out performing
Then, next morning
Round 10, I be punching in
For some, would be embarrassing
They'll stop, and stare
Be looking or asking, like what you're doing here?
What about your rap career?
And, often times, I laugh
Used to invest in my craft
Edmond Way
Soon, I'll have my own staff
Jah Jah neva let me down
Fake friends dem come around
But wah dem gonna do yah now
Purpose, me ah chase di purpose
Nuff ah dem would've liked to see me drop off di surface
Dem see wi, and dem don't know
Sometimes, yuh affi do it solo
And, we nuh do it for no promo
Love inna wi heart fi mi enemies
Purpose can't die, mi ah tell yuh disss
Ooh, la la
