The Monster Within

This ain't the first time like I was gonna quit Bottled-up frustration, I wasn't gonna let it sit Time and dedication was my only fix Staying educated, cause me and the streets don't mix Me in the streets don't mix I guess I wasn't blunt enough, so take another hit Stacking my money 'till the sun is up, I don't do counterfeits Why don't you stay up outta my way or you'll be sleeping with the fish Some people say I'm an animal You haven't seen the monster within Some people wouldn't understand if they've been in my shoes I don't need none of these chains none of these watches to be cool I ain't joking nigga, with them joker niggas, this ain't april fools Stop poking and prodding, i don't acknowledge you I'll leave your body in the cesspool Scars heal, but I'm masked up like i'm deadpool Fight with one for all, not all for one like I'm deku I'm nice, but please don't make me disrespect you Lyrically disrespect you I got the gadget, let me inspect you Get the lead out kiddies, I be rolling with the pencil My mind is a utensil I be training my body like it's a fucking temple This ain't the first time like I was gonna quit Bottled-up frustration, I wasn't gonna let it sit Time and dedication was my only fix Stayin educated cause me and the streets don't mix Me in the streets don't mix I guess I wasn't blunt enough, so take another hit Stackin my money 'till the sun is up, I don't do counterfeits Why don't you stay up outta my way or you'll be sleeping with the fish Some people say I'm an animal You haven't seen the monster within I avoid confrontation at all cost Niggas be tracking my movements where you get off, like where do you get off?

Stay under the table with Castro sipping the bourbon While I get in my bag, it is a duffle and a birkin This shit is so sad, it turned me into a different person I don't recognize myself no more I don't recognize myself no more I don't recognize (recognize) I don't recognize myself no more This ain't the first time like I was gonna quit Bottled-up frustration, I wasn't gonna let it sit Time and dedication was my only fix Staying educated, cause me and the streets don't mix Me in the streets don't mix I guess I wasn't blunt enough, so take another hit Stacking my money 'till the sun is up, I don't do counterfeits Why don't you stay up outta my way or you'll be sleeping with the fish Some people say I'm an animal You haven't seen the monster within
