Therapy

Progression over perfection That's why I'm practicing These better habits They sleeping on me So tell me Who supplied the mattress Assist my niggas To success Now that's word to magic Whichever career You pursuit It deserves your passion Looking in the mirror Everyday cause I see more Was saying to my mother How I just want to be more Infinite knowledge is a gift That's why I read more Cause what you don't know Will surely hurt you Didn't really get To roam the streets Cause I had a curfew I'm tired waiting on my break But patience is a virtue Was laid off Just the other day It due to lack of performance At least that's what they say As a man I was taught To look them in they face Don't want to bring Nothing to the table But grabbing for a plate That's not go help us Make it to the top Want my name in conversations At the barber shop Wouldn't forgive myself If I probably stopped Understand this rap shit It can take a lot Hard work trumps Talent my nigga Don't let them take your spot You need the right ingredients I'm stirring up the pot Making songs for niggas Who sleeping on a cot They throw us in them jail cells And hope we probably rot More often than not Give your best At everything an you can achieve America despise Black Men So it's hard to believe Me and a friend Was close Now we losing touch I wanted to give her my all I guess that's not enough It was hard to deal With my emotions They started piling up Lately life been kicking Me down So I don't smile enough It's exhausting to try To get people To see my worth I guess they really wouldn't notice Until I'm on a shirt I was told that I was special I knew it since my birth My dreams starting to fade away I'm dealing with the hurt Just know it always get better Can't focus on the worse I have to see it all the way through Before I'm in the dirt A man doesn't get to eat Unless he putting in work Venting through the microphone I hope you feel these words You only got three strikes In this world I hope you catch the curve Just understand a beautiful life Is what we all deserve I know it seems like forever You have to wait your turn In every transgression you make It's lessons that you learn
