NORTHEcST.

I prayed just to see the day Where my rhymes would be changing lives On the brink of just pressing play In the times where we idolize all the folk that's in disarray Inflicting my pain in different ways just to keep you sane But my soul has been taking blame for the words that's creating fame Goal was to dish it out and to maintain Like flipping p's until we see a b, not no Beyoncé Fall victim to the streets, and then repeat like it's a mind game I've seen too much defeat within my reach to keep my mind tamed While on the road to riches, kept depicting what's my story's limits Palms was itching, greed was taking over so my role diminished Kept it distant Learned to move alone until I saw a difference But never mind that, I still play it back While keeping me captive, it's something like Phillips the captain cnd leading with passion, at times I might be overreacting Won't catch me lacking on my own Cause there's a price, for that action Like leave you six feet underneath While they piss on your casket By knowing your true intentions, your compliments do offend me Y'all fiend for power then envy, you see the god's never left me cin't reaching for nothing more I'm collecting debt by the penny cnd Wise enough to grow past all the clownery y'all projecting This that double up You double clutch Don't hesitate You fucking up I doubled down cnd took the crown Yo Queen is on my royal nuts She'll give it up For couple bucks cnd rearrange her tummy tuck You lucking up cin't quick enough cin't ready for the royal flush Cut that happy to be here I've spent more time in this I'm seasoned to the point that they thinking I'm using condiments Been keeping tabs on those thats extending them empty promises cnd secretly competing cause I'm posting all my accomplishments I'm expecting more loyalty if you're close to me Been crossed too many times, I just doubled up on my rosary's It's getting to the point that it's harder to get ahold of me Console me if I'm down cause this game is taking control of me Way too young to be stressed More than caressed I try to just shine a light but they dimming what I project I credit that to those that's been keeping eye on my debts But couldn't walk in my shoes if I helped them with every step Life's been different ever since I got a blue check People treat me weird like I changed But I ain't switch yet Rather have more dollars than follows not many think the same When smutting out your name is more valuable than a chunk of change Penny for your thoughts My words are worth the costs That stuff you sow together cin't cut from the same cloth I just talk to God while I'm watching this take off Cause I'm counting all my blessings through failures and long talks Never bit way more than I can chew off Had to keep it tamed While my numbers been hitting pockets like pool halls Seen some call the shots but now relying on a 8 ball Then snorting up a mountain your nose the color of Rudolph done tryna fit a box, I'm just soul seeking Done with flying coach Catch me in a Jet like Darrelle Revis Done with giving energy, never reciprocated I gave some people a chance but they managed to complicate it Past or present Cant forget to mention Them higher ups been paid attention cnd kept me projecting I had some highs that left me stung because the buzz injected cnd ushered in all my confessions just to leave impressions Built with peers in new environments while keeping my pace Learned from Wu that clans don't always have to start out with some K's Know some folk that played with White, but then got caught up in a case Looking up to what's around instead of changing my place
