22 Years

Twenty-Two Years Grateful for every new year Being stuck at the bottom that's what every yute fears I'm just one of a kind ain't that many too rare When I never had a penny who cared Sippin' henny who dares I was broke couldn't get me new gear They obsessed with the clout they'll take any route there Other than God there ain't any to fear Lookin' in the mirror deeply this the very truth here Ima be it But I gotta keep my guard close Feel it But you couldn't heal my scars though Secrets All the things that we hide Jah knows We ride hard yo, East side Scarborough Birds chirpin' I ain't sleepin' they was fiendin' for the most And I always move in silence I be creepin' on my toes Other than the man above I'm the realest that I know I could feel it as I grow Swear I've seen this life before They don't live it but imitate it That pressure hit em then they switchin' fakin' and givin' statements I've been creative painting all the pictures I'm illustrating I've gotta get it no more sittin' waiting This kid will make it I've been this patient - but the wait has been long Some doubted Can't wait to see their face when they wrong It's real pain in my songs But every way I be strong Remain real 'til the day that I'm gone It's I-Z
