My Compromise (Demo)

It's me against the world You ain't gotta know why he my opp Just so you know, when I see him, he the reason I'll catch a body—POP And I ain't even on the block I'm just a nigga feelin' feelings like them niggas sprayin' Glocks "But Q, you ain't like that" "Talkin' like you fight back" "You ain't really 'bout all the action, so give your stripes back, nigga" F*ck with a known unknown And you gon' be known For being the only nigga who knows That I'm really 'bout the shit I say If you don't like the shit I'm sayin', then just stay away I pray my homies make it out and see them brighter days Life hits a little harder when your skin is darker Without a father or mother to guide you through adolescence I'm still grateful, take a second just to count your blessings I think of Nova when I start to get to second-guessin' I see the lessons But I never been the type to like school So give me the tool F*ck if I'm breakin' the rules F is a letter for fools Follow whatever is cool Nah, I'ma chill in my pool Just on the side of my mansion If I forgot to mention, don't even mention me when I'm in a mansion It's Q, if you don't feel what I'm feelin' Energy is energy, I take and give what is given I'm givin' 'em hope If you ain't even ever had nobody tell you "You got it" Then don't worry, 'cause you got it I'm bettin' on that shit that they won't I'm for real when I say I got you They might not see the vision, but listen, don't let 'em stop you My brother told me that it's lonely at the top But I put my foot on the gas, and if I crash I made the gwop I'll make the whole world compromise I ain't known for sellin' lies I ain't known for no surprise Shit ain't what you set aside—I'm different Since birth, I'm standin' on business Haters gon' hate to love and love to hate, so let 'em witness
