Highs and Lows

These my Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) My Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) Yea nigga my Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) My Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) I been authentic, can't diminish my image, what you think Food for thought, all mine vintage, grab a plate Don't gravitate towards fake niggas that rather hate Talking all that shit, then they smile in your face, can you relate? I know some people up to this day, tried to play me like a dummy Was putting dirt on my name, man f*ck you Real quick, I had to let you know All them trials and tribulations only helped me grow So I blossom'd, like a Cherry Tree in Autumn Started writing rhymes to deal with all my problems Started fighting crime like a nigga lived in Gotham, no Batman just a black man Trying to make it through my Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) My Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) Yea nigga my Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) My Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) Now I got a hold of it, can never let it go Music was my first true love since I was four I use to sing "Dear Mama" to my momma on the floor She told me I was gonna be something, how did you know All them lows you went through to keep us afloat Had pink slips right on the door, you wouldn't show A bit of emotion, probably hoping I ain't notice But somehow you kept food on the table when we was poor You was my hero, when we was at ground zero Taught me if we got each other, don't need dinero You use to hold my hand, now you listen to my jams You was my biggest fan before I picked up a pen I told you in the end that your son was gonna win Now watch me go and get it, told the world to pay attention I took a little break, you can call it an intervention My composition only thing that's breaking through the tension Starting to plant seeds for all of my future children Teach them that they strong and tell them to have resilience Show them how to fend as a young black man But this journey just began, had to take you on a spin Through my Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) My Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) Yea nigga my Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) My Highs and Lows (My Highs and Lows) What's your highs if you never reached 'em And at your lowest know you ain't defeated Don't be depleted by your demons always tryna creep in They in your head rent free, don't give a f*ck 'bout leasing And this the very reason, I turnt my dreams into reality and made it even So everyday I wake up for a different meaning I finally found true happiness and that ain't leaving It took twenty-five years for that shit to sink in Now, I wear my heart on my sleeve Don't care about the judgement, people only know what they see But f*ck it, I can see they frontin' People gonna love you or hate you it's all in abundance I really can't do fake love, I can see you bluffin' I used to care what people think now that shit is repugnant Discontent, so I vent without the discussion I stand by everything I say, f*ck the repercussions My High and Lows finally told on a different level I spill my soul on every song just a different treble My High and Lows finally told on a different level I spill my soul on every song just a different treble Nigga
