COMPROMISED

(Living on the memories in my mind Runs out in time So to ease my pain I drop, you a lie To let you know I'm fine So to ease my pain I drop, you a lie To let you know I'm fine) (Four Quarters) Look Aye How many times I gotta say it I just took a fast break this rap shit a layup I'm focus on this paper Tryna see residuals Word to my prison pals I'm standing on some principles Nothing hypothetical my literature is literal And all my similes are non cynical When I say my check up nigga it's not a physical Time is the only patience I really been tending to In the middle of the struggle I was granted some clarity I was caught up in the hustle and forgot what was there for me So I had to slow it down cause this rap shit therapy I can't say that life's a bitch but they got similarities Everything be looking good on the outside looking in I know Instagram models that can't live in they own skin I know niggas buying guns cause they just wanna fit in And they ain't really got no opps but they love to play pretend I'm at war with my own mental real opps come from within When I lost who I was that's when I lost my closest friend I used to pop pills and listen to forest hills Dreams about signing that deal I used to want one foreal But nowadays it seem like that's the quickest way to get killed And I done been through so much shit I got no choice but to heal I diminish every blemish when I polish my skill So I roll me up some weed put on a beat and I kill Anything with a percussion so that's how I got here Mama prayers of protection I'm so careful out here I come baring peace and love I live my life with no fears In a sense im innocent, that shit come with benefits Tombstones and penitentiaries are the modern slaves ships Hella dreams and souls shackled just to show how tuff you is But on another note Me and Joc got a million streams (Whatup Joc) Crazy thing is we did that shit behind the scenes We might play the same game but we in different leagues I'm hungry like a five star on a juco team (Cam Newton) On these beats I'm like Wes Craven Top five in the conversation And if I'm not then the whole game rigged like we point shaving I'm popular in the population So I gotta pop my shit without hesitation Aye look I came a long way from stolen clothes I came a long way from sharing those Got it out the mud from the mud I rose Now I'm counting digits off my distro, just from writing flows Fatherless child, I did this from a broken home Every verse I give a story got stories I haven't told My talent God given, no way in hell I'll sell my soul I walk in fear of God, he keep me in the flyest soles I know niggas who sell bows, know niggas who sell clothes Know bitches who sell pussy, know bitches who ain't hoes Know niggas who locked down praying that they come home Know some people with no help that's doing shit on they own I feel they pain cause me and them we one in the same This life shit is real but people fake it like it's a game Perceive life from them apps they be scrolling on Not realizing people real life is rarely shown More focused on likes and they views, the gossip on shaderoom What celebrity did what, and who fuckin who Real life in decline, they barely can make due Spend a whole check on fake jewels, they babies ain't got food I thank God for teaching me life early Seen a lot in life and I ain't even seen 30 Physically I might stress, but mentally no worries Cause I know who I am and ima bounce back for surely I'm looking in the mirror I'm seeing the bigger picture Even with a broken mirror see my vision more clearer Tell myself that I'm a God these lyrics are my scriptures Safe to say that this the New Testament of a real nigga Yea Four Quarters Three Dynamic duo Back again Yea (Four Quarters)
