Independence (feat. SYEKO)

They can't take my creative freedom away from me I love myself faithfully Guess I'm seein' something in myself that they don't see And, now I'm better on my own, that's what they hate to see Finally independent, baby, what you think of me The label tried to take my soul, and they did it twice Fuming mad when I dropped a song they didn't like And, then I realized this ain't no way to be livin' life I'm thankin' God I finally see this in a different light Damn, I really let myself get took Couple hundred times, they say I should write a book But, I don't need to cause' I do it every day on Beckett's beats Motherfuckers just listening to how I cook And, I don't need nobody else approval now I just hit up first of flight and drop some music now And, when they told me not to drop a song about what's in my heart I took that same energy and let it fuel me now Cause' look how much they love it Don't need no guidance, I follow my moral compass when I move F*ck them other dudes Used to love rappin' bout' switches and poppin' blues They told me not to stop it They said that's what make you, you But, now I found myself and it ain't never felt so true Motherfucker who is you, not the one I fear Cause' if I kept goin, I'd die in a couple years I was sound asleep when I lost my brother, woke up in tears But, I had to keep it pushin' and kick it right back in gear Money ain't the only motive no more, only focusin' on growin' for sure Back up in my own lane I been in my mode, I been goin' insane Finally independent, I ain't stressin' no lames I turned to a psycho, I forgot my own name Used to have to walk up in the room and tell flames But, now it's okay If you see me eatin' then it's off my own plate I ain't playin' no games Not the same jay Only for the better if I'm ever gone change Only for the better, that's what everybody say But, once you sign that deal you throwin' everything away I know you makin' money, but what's heavy on your brain If you ask around, what does everybody say? You only who they say you are, never ever change Yeah, you bought your favorite car, everyone amazed But, how you supposed to make it far filled with all that rage? Realize that you make a mark with everything you say Everybody gang hard, everybody bang Everybody have a heart, but no two are the same Take it from a person who just had his replaced Probably cause' of all the fuckin' casualties I faced I ain't spoke to Momma in like way too many days Don't even get me started on the reason I'm this way Hard headed junkie, had no feelings But, today I can feel my brothers pain, I can feel my brothers pain Back up in my own lane I been in my mode, I been goin' insane Finally independent, I ain't stressin' no lames I turned to a psycho, I forgot my own name Used to have to walk up in the room and tell flames But, now it's okay If you see me eatin' then it's off my own plate I ain't playin' no games Not the same jay Only for the better if I'm ever gone change
