Back 2 Self

Same guy, different motives, smaller ties, bigger focus Out of mind neurosis, been in a bind no hypnosis Time to get out and open, the floodgates and raid on rodents Find ways to be ferocious, either that or still staying hopeless History, is proof these days of trife is hardly new If misery needs company I'm fine with the solitude Fine with my tiny crew, fine, I'll pay my dues The cards that I've been dealt, I place my heart to help make my moves Soul of a pharoah, don't need millennium items To crush some minds, gain power to compete with the titans Aight, opportunity's thin so I take pride when it widens I might show my scars and burns if it's igniting some guidance Take flight, God's is the pilot, stay high, won't even slightly alight Star's are aligning, so shine, no matter whoever makes light Of the ambition I release, go against it's R.I.P. To the modesty, time to be best that I can be Back to self, back to light, back to soul, back to life Back to "doing what is needed", no excuses or "I might" Back to keep moving forward, removing all inner spite Living today, cause we might not even see tonight Back to self, back to skill, back to mind, back to real Back to giving heart as well as my will of steel Staying true to myself, no matter who hates Jamil Here to show y'all how I feel Five years since the debut project, alot has happened since '14 Got my bachelor's degree, that chapter's finally complete Couple friends I cut off due to rotten energies Cause like Buu, due to absorbing certain kinds I've gotten weak Complacency's dangerous, too much can cause your drive to cease Imagine if I managed to socialize and just release Or chose to stay on the scene, confidence is problematic Nastradamus reception while feeling you dropped Illmatic Mac and Nipsey passing, plus Leonel being a dad Reminded me that life is precious but passes faster than fads Rapped in the past why know your limits that can be surpassed Yet I let my own hinder me, fear that my skills were gassed See, reality's harsh but thriving through ain't impossible Had to look in the mirror to face my greatest obstacle So yeah the operation still is in place Back to spitting in your face, give that sickness to your bass Back to self, back to light, back to soul, back to life Back to "doing what is needed", no excuses or "I might" Back to keep moving forward, removing all inner spite Living today, cause we might not even see tonight Back to self, back to skill, back to mind, back to real Back to giving heart as well as my will of steel Staying true to myself, no matter who hates Jamil Here to show y'all how I feel
