lyrics

I look for money and power inside honesty an truth
Some chase money and power inside every booth
Seperated confess their sins arrested an confused
So many holes in their story it's a front since a youth,
At thirteen I was chasin a rush pahonia on a coupe
It's a shitshow another arc in life I dream computes
Intel swears James Bond copies me to be smooth
Wanna be able say I record from a mansion roof,
Goal to say I made it open up greens tryna puke
Bars got em sick swear I got the sense of truth
Speakin on life experiences most afraid hatin you
Wish more were honest cause I got nothin to prove,
Cause I ain't to be slept on i'll see through a ruse
I'll body em live like we competin for some views
I'll open up my thoughts hit by a hammer from Zeus
Birth of a god throwin shots at hate rushin to reduce,
So many fights to survive you'd swear scars proof
Triangulate the cause but the pain's way too acute
Squares sittin 90 degrees tryna hook up bad lines
Lacin up lies they sell quick cash baggin dimes,
They just quickly cache a bowl claimin two lives
I've grown life up split nobody else match my life
So fire icin our nerves too cold to pay for the price
Only thing I got's heat my hands close to my sides,
A stack of green an you control some lives
BMG helpin me elevate peak a sunrise,
Imma rise above issues embody a sun castin light
Shadows we live by consume a soul at night

When it comes to success man it's never enough
Why I'm enticed by lines an shots walkin in love
Drinkin a Michigan atmosphere all I got's trust
Some think bare minimum is enough to blunt,
But to get high it's a pristine art write at the cusp
Handful look forward for me to be great for once,
After today the world will hear the dirt I've dug
Could move pyramids an to some it aint enough
So you gotta stack em instead keep an eye on lust
Often most confuse it for god sayin they tough,
But life chews up the cheapest method to stunt
Sellin dead for a gold standard where they from?
Cause to me all I see's a society plastic in a crunch
Most boxed in tryna be a diamond made of dust,
Moment a platinum chain falls most start to rust
How you can tell i'm great's my message in flux
When it finally delivers you messenger for a drug
But i'm so dope every track means lives are up,
But a game over's often a prison made by some
When it comes to it the cost of life often a low sum
Ask me if there's any I trust I only tell em some
Add up love because often I lose grip of my trust,
True to myself loyal to fam who helped me level up
Forever thankful for the talent I got should I stunt?
When's confidence arrogance? Can't put up a front
In loss I think of gems to encrust

I swear all I do's roll an then inhale all my weed
So much green i'm losin pounds anytime I eat,
Great things come with winnin includin' envy
Only surround myself wit those who believe
So many claim they hard crack to concrete
Duckin heat focus on life till I succeed,
I'm so cold Doc Freeze got heat in dreams
