B Urself

I found colors through black and white I was lost in the darkness when I seen the light I been tryin’ to be liked But I was left out in the cold and I know it wasn’t right Wasn’t right, wasn’t right I been tryin’ to be liked and I know it wasn’t right Seen the light, seen the light When they were askin’ me ‘bout hate, ‘love’ I replied Man I was down I remember, even if I'd have amnesia You gotta stay strong when the life hit ya Put the distractions away, work on yourself everyday, ok You yo’ own motivation, don’t listen what people say, ok I lost people, I lost money, but I never lost my mind And I don’t mind what I lost, it’s important what I gain People cryin’ in the sun, while I’m dancin’ in the rain I became strong, from the strength I got from the pain They overtake eachother while I’m stayin’ in my lane And I mind my business ‘cause my business pays They tradin’ they time for money, I trade late nights for days Late nights for days, I know my ship is comin’ in, I don’t expect delays You deserve to be successful and free, honestly I studied all the rappers and Marshall is what Mathers to me Honesty, my heart is a lie detector, never try to lie to me (Lie to me) Let me light this cigarette, let me drown in my own thoughts I might get a speed ticket for livin’ so damn fast Been through a lot, remember sittin’ thinkin’ in my car in the parking lot I found colors through black and white I was lost in the darkness when I seen the light I been tryin’ to be liked But I was left out in the cold and I know it wasn’t right Wasn’t right, wasn’t right I been tryin’ to be liked and I know it wasn’t right Seen the light, seen the light When they were askin’ me ‘bout hate, ‘love’ I replied Man I had to lose myself to find myself in the process They say to invest in gold, so I invest in George, that’s success You don’t have to pop brains or pop pills Get rich and get you some brain inna yo’ house on the hills Found the love through hate, found on time through late Your dreams within you, they be like 'sorry for the wait' This world left you with a heavy heart, sorry for the weight When you’ll be gone, they will be sorry for the hate I don’t sugar coat things, I don’t want y’all to have diabetes I taught my haters how to swim, now they sleepin’ with the fishes Put that phone down if you really want to lift yo’self up You been born a fighter, don’t you ever try to give up Wasn’t right, wasn’t right Seen the light, seen the light
