Not For Imitation

(This shit right here It's about to change shit Niggas don't even know) Aye, Aye, Aye Imitating sounds 'Gonna leave you lost and out of bounds So many dead and underground Can't lose my head keep track of sounds You'll never know when I'm around Ain't let it show when I was down Won't let it show when I get up No time to stop and play around And I ain't playing no games I'm just rolling them up And I ain't searching for fame 'Cause that leads straight to the cuffs When you're young with a name They'll say you doing too much Or you ain't doing enough This world is rigid and rough Don't let your kids have it tough You know you reap what you sow Don't say you peeped, Let it go The world 'gon seek what you know Some talk in secretive code Made my choice time to grow You'll hear my voice on the road One day I'll sell out a show Then buy a home for my folks Just from the words that I know Just off my lyrics and quotes Time to transform my notes I know my shit 'gon provoke A whole new wave It's time to save I might just pave As I get paid Aye Imitating sounds 'Gonna leave you lost and out of bounds So many dead and underground Can't lose my head keep track of sounds You'll never know when I'm around Ain't let it show when I was down Won't let it show when I get up No time to stop and play around And I ain't playing no games I'm just rolling them up And I ain't searching for fame Because that leads straight to the cuffs When you're young with a name They'll say you doing too much Or you ain't doing enough This world is rigid and rough Don't let your kids have it tough You know you reap what you sow Don't say you peeped, Let it go The world 'gon seek what you know Some talk in secretive code Made my choice time to grow You'll hear my voice on the road One day I'll sell out a show Then buy a home for my folks Just from the words that I know Just off my lyrics and quotes Time to transform my notes I know my shit 'gon provoke A whole new wave It's time to save I might just pave As I get paid Aye Imitating sounds 'Gonna leave you lost and out of bounds So many dead and underground Can't lose my head keep track of sounds You'll never know when I'm around Ain't let it show when I was down Won't let it show when I get up No time to stop and play around And the grass ain't always greener on the other side Man y'all changing y'all demeanor for the other side And We deal with all these problems all because of pride Jammed, Shit we keep inside and often try to hide Know where you reside Better know your place Better say your grace Every day you wake God will give God will take I will live, They 'gon hate Try to rise, Let me bake Enterprise, Innovate I was down, They tried to take Like the smoke I elevate I be out the mix Got the bread and made it levitate Gotta take a risk Learn the game I study every play Bullets have no names Leaving stains ripping through 'yo chest Gotta take control Slow 'yo roll quit beefing on the net Driving down this path, All I see Money and success F*ck the way I'm dressed I ain't pressed I ain't like the rest You want some respect Feel your words, Say 'em with 'ya chest Y'all wonder why y'all fail Always speaking on what's next Move in silence like it's chess They should never know your moves Man you gotta make 'em guess As you plot on bigger goals I'll have these wounds 'til I get old Remember times when I was told Every day is a chance Every hour you can mold The past is set in stone Unmask when I get home I bask right in my zone My task to claim the throne Felt a burden on my soul This my warm up shoutout Cole I could never understand How to bend or how to fold Got y'all moment and y'all sold Y'all make-believers I'll make believers on my own Hear the realness in my tone So much heat I burnt my phone Killed this beat, No going home man Aye, Aye Imitating sounds 'Gonna leave you lost and out of bounds So many dead and underground Can't lose my head keep track of sounds You'll never know when I'm around Ain't let it show when I was down Won't let it show when I get up No time to stop and play around Stay ahead I'm focused on my family I'm focused on my bread If you're not understanding me Then get this through your head Don't mention every crime you see Or show it to the kids There's power in the words we say We show 'em how to live Hit the switch Had to switch up my dimension Have you ever thought to mention Protection or prevention This game needs an intervention These thoughts ain't my invention The lost get no admission I'm bossed I'm on a mission Aye Imitating sounds 'Gonna leave you lost and out of bounds So many dead and underground Can't lose my head keep track of sounds You'll never know when I'm around Ain't let it show when I was down Won't let it show when I get up No time to stop and play around Aye
