They say it's time for me to stop, I'm too visible.
Why don't you do something you're not, you're too critical.
You're tiring us with your serious rhymes,
what's happening are you angry?
Such a furious mind...
Yeah I saw him at the open mic!
This guy raps on and on,
it's like he stole the hype.
But I keep flowing like
I don't really give a fuck,
if you don't enjoy this right.
Let me tell it how it is,
if you don't like it leave,
man I ain't got time for this.
In none of your boxes i fit in,
so kick rocks
keep your toxic thoughts far in the distance.
Been real since the beginning,
don't blame me for being in love
when a record spinning...
But i'm familiar with the envious type,
so jealous, won't hesitate to step on your light.
Won't lose myself in the ego!
Remember to always be true to the people!
Now I could have a fast flow,
like I really wish I spit a bit faster but it doesn't matter,
'cause poetry gives me everything I ask for.
It's just feeling so relieving to let your heart pour,
I find life's meaning, so much freedom in this art form.
As soon as the songs finished I wanna start more,
a peaceful shelter in a dark storm.
My letters are getting older
therefore they help me,
when time is heavy on my shoulders.
Never wished to be the greatest of all times,
just went on creating to have a family I could call mine.
Learned to express big feelings in small lines,
daily on the grind to keep a sharp mind.
They say a lot of things, well they can talk, fine.
I'll live my dreams, and let the stars shine.
