Surface

Know what's beneath, ay, let's get it Ain't nothing could ever heal these scars Regardless of how I feel tomorrow Going through happiness still feels bizarre Paranoid, knowing the steel chrome ain't too far But it's fuel to fire, ain't gonna die tonight Still chasing after that shine in sight Each rhyme I write, eases the pain, the fright Lets me know through all the bullshit, we'll be alright F*ck your misconceptions, bringing here reflection, uh Facing inner demons, true self detection Take a step back, find the issues Moments of clarity that I'm trying to infuse But it ain't no use if I ain't got a hot beat Dropping gems, the only way I ain't in the hot seat, ah So the hustle evolves, proving them wrong Showing I'm about this shit, what, I truly got the gall Down to the wire, and I build this empire Chase whatever I desire Who do you admire, follow this en masse Pushing the obstacles we all aim to surpass If they ain't see the worth in the worthless They don't know what's beneath the surface, uh You can't comprehend the hurt unless, tell them They know what's beneath the surface You gotta know what's beneath, you gotta Gotta, uh, know what's beneath Ay ay, know what's beneath, ay L a slum raised, came up from the obscene Trauma stemmed from a junkie's offspring Wasn't meant to touch earth, even in birth Came from pain and he's leaving in hurt Began the hustle from scraps and a software Worked the craft while he's caught up in the crosshairs Through the calamity, knew what I had in me Through the pure self doubt, brought out the vanity Stuck to my guns, taking it all each step Had to build, it ain't about making green yet, nah The golden goose in my fam and they didn't know it A few dead ends but still I remained stoic A thug poet with beats made of brimstone Perfect rap diplomat like Juelz and Jim Jones Microphone murderer, he's one of a kind, what A few left like himself, it's all by design Paragraphs written like deep scriptures His penning can paint a million pictures Pistol whip flow, can't cure this addiction Saying you're the greatest with as much conviction, what If they ain't see the worth in the worthless They don't know what's beneath the surface, uh You can't comprehend the hurt unless, tell them They know what's beneath the surface You gotta know what's beneath, you gotta Gotta, uh, know what's beneath Ay ay, know what's beneath, ay, know what's beneath
