[00:00.553][Verse 1: Joyner Lucas]
[00:14.513]Tell me what do you see when you look in my eyes? (Yeah)
[00:17.253]Got a lot on my mind
[00:17.612]Hopin' I never be goin' out of my mind
[00:19.388]Been tryna control when I grow out of my prime
[00:20.879]I thought I was ready, it really wasn't my time, I know
[00:22.584]I live in my head
[00:24.025]I said I'd be rich and I did what I did
[00:25.737]But I don't do this shit for me, I do this shit for my kids
[00:27.593]I teach 'em how to go and get it when they ready to leave
[00:29.435]I'm tired of livin' up in hell when I know heaven is free
[00:30.951]And nothin' really more important than protectin' the peace
[00:32.819]I wanna teach 'em how to grow up and be better than me
[00:34.621]When I was chasin' all the paper, with no second to breathe
[00:36.399]And I tell myself to never give up and accept no defeat
[00:38.043]My premonitions already written in definitely
[00:39.844]But I never listen, I know my vision and never could see
[00:41.715]And truthfully, I wasn't even supposed to make it this far (Ayy)
[00:43.511]I take it this far
[00:45.438]I know that God got me, I'm thankin' him for (Yeah)
[00:47.115]Soon as I get it, then I'll be payin' him for it
[00:48.724]You know you made it when all the haters support (Haters support)
[00:50.502]The haters support (Yeah)
[00:52.292]Joyner been workin' and I ain't takin' no shorts
[00:53.852]When they tell me be humble, then I'ma take in too far
[00:55.266]
[00:55.502][Chorus: Joyner Lucas]
[00:56.014]Shit, I used to feel like Will, now I'm feelin' like uh
[00:58.003]Made mistakes, can't get it right, yeah
[00:59.705]Niggas can't stand me, I'm livin' like ooh
[01:01.338]Tryna win the Grammy like killin' my, uh
[01:03.139]I'm a underdog like Killer Mike, yeah
[01:04.903]Took a lot of Ls tryna win the fight, ooh
[01:06.648]Got back up, I'm still alright, yeah
[01:08.385]I be alright, I'm still alright, yeah
[01:09.951]
[01:10.167][Verse 2: Joyner Lucas]
[01:10.359]And I don't really care 'bout nothin' except for keepin' my legacy
[01:11.718]Hopin' I be livin' long enough to sleep with the enemy
[01:13.207]Had to take a shot for every nigga tryna get rid of me
[01:14.947]I should take a look inside of my soul and see what they did to me
[01:16.984]I got a fire inside me and it's sleepin' within me
[01:18.709]When I look inside the mirror, all I see is the little me
[01:20.538]Wishin' I could break out but I hope the evil no hinder me
[01:22.337]If I overcome it, then I be achievin' the victory, yeah
[01:23.995]
[01:24.213][Verse 3: Logic]
[01:24.957]What you really want? What it really get?
[01:25.943]'Cause I remember livin' my life with a [milly?] face
[01:27.708]So many gears, I thought I had a million ideas
[01:29.500]So I had a fire peace and release nonsense
[01:31.140]I do it for the art, not the content
[01:34.788]All I really wanted was the acceptance
[01:35.851]Now as a man I can vent this
[01:36.787]**** that endless
[01:37.142]Do what you love in this life, don't let hate in your life
[01:38.676]Know they work for a job 'til you eighty
[01:40.193]And look back like, "Damn, I really done gave 'em my life"
[01:42.062]If I save just one life with this verse, then it's worth it
[01:43.697]If this is your future, you need to reverse it
[01:45.561]Ain't nobody perfect
[01:47.096]Man, **** all that cake, it ain't worth it
[01:48.310]Just take what you buried deep down in the dirt and I know that you heard it
[01:50.484]The voice from within, not above
[01:51.722]So just do what you love
[01:52.683]Ain't no way I could keep it up feelin' this feelin'
[01:54.124]It's creepin' up, tellin' me I will not be enough
[01:56.247]No, wasn't bein' me enough
[01:57.345]I think I see enough of what I don't want in my life
[01:59.554]Give a damn if it's right, it's the reason I write
[02:00.995]Need a reason to fight 'cause I need it in sight
[02:02.897]With these monsters in sight, it get darker than what I would like
[02:05.329]But I know, I know
[02:05.946]
[02:06.137][Verse 4: Twista]
[02:06.306]Ain't nobody you could never know my struggle
[02:07.003]As a child, goin' through shit way harder to blow than out a bubble
[02:09.098]And I know lot of trouble before I got to the lyrical ability
[02:11.423]The water that was flowin' out a funnel
[02:12.674]Had to channel the aggression and depression
[02:13.923]For only a moment when I had to realize rappin' ain't it
[02:15.588]When there wasn't no more money from a record deal
[02:17.839]I couldn't get another one, so I was about to quit
[02:19.689]Had to get a job
[02:20.530]Didn't wanna be a slob, even though I would rather be spittin' bars
[02:23.178]Then one day, somebody saw me at work and said, "Twista, why are you in here washin' cars?"
[02:27.168]That hurt my heart
[02:28.085]That shit tore me apart
[02:29.011]So I prayed up to God
[02:30.247]That if I ever got another chance at music, I won't take it granted
[02:32.863]I'ma dunk if I get the lot
[02:33.695]Rented an AK from Do Or Die
[02:35.102]He said, "Come to the studio, I'll put you on a song"
[02:36.917]Start my new gig in the mornin', but I'ma come after
[02:38.935]This is my chance to get back on
[02:40.567]Thankful that I was livin' at my brother's house, but it weren't my own
[02:43.033]So I'ma finna go in
[02:44.029]I walked in the lab and the beat was by Crackster
[02:45.816]Title of the song was "Po Pimp"
[02:47.896]I said, "Ooh, snap"
[02:48.845]I told 'em I'm about to jack
[02:49.962]Spittin' funky like I'm a MAC
[02:51.192]I'ma come off so hard on this track
[02:52.461]It's gon' change my condition and change the way people rap
[02:54.730]Might be broke as shit and collectin' no dough from tips
[02:57.150]But be spittin' more game than a mouth full of poker chips
[02:59.237]And I was glad that the world recognize how dope this is
[03:01.543]And the prayer was effective
[03:02.682]If you stressed and depressed, let this come and soak in your brain
[03:05.076]First time that I ever played "Po Pimp" for somebody, I was on the way to work on the train
[03:08.632]And I didn't quit it 'til the record was droppin'
[03:10.241]But when I did it, I knew it was right
[03:11.979]'Cause through my prayers and my faith and my words, it get darker than what I would like but I know I'm alright
