Yeah

I been bitter for a minute though

I know it’s all in my head


[Verse 1]

It might seem beautiful the places I been

If you look at my feet, kinda hard to pretend

Cause the blessings have been coming my way

I lost a lotta ends, maybe a couple friends

So I say pursue your dreams

It comes with a cost

And sacrifices

To rap for life is

Less fulfilling than I expected

Sometimes I resent it and I reject it

Yo I know it’s blasphemy

But what the ask from me

It’s straight ass to me

Ngga rap for free?

And I put in my own cash

Went in my own stash

Maxed out mine and you act like I’m

The one who is arrogant

Bitch you the embarrassment

Diminishing this art for a way out

It ain't about the payout

If you a poser stay out

You fuckin up the environment

Is this what retirement looks like?


[Chorus]

I been bitter for a minute though

I know it’s all in my head

I been bitter for a minute though

I know it’s all in my head


[Verse 2]

Is this what retirement looks like?

This shit don’t feel right

A bunch of angry dudes with they petty feuds

Rappers with these ho ass attitudes

Can’t even show their fans fuckin gratitude

And you wonder why you gain no latitude

The internet don’t make you a fuckin expert

You one-dimensional rappin about rappin

Or rappin about clappin

Or rappin about trappin

Yall nggas shoulda been rich

But you Bojangles

You still got a boss cause you been bitch

You skipping leg day

No leg work, there’s no network

And no payday

Let’s face it we been past the heyday

And yall know it’s mayday

Time for a new hustle

Time to teach the youngins how to really bubble

It’s about being to own a degrees and diplomas

Knowledge is the asset to evade death

But yall slept


[Outro/Fade Out]

I been bitter for a minute though

I know it’s all in my head

Just trying to find my place

This space and time

Been in that continuum nahmsayin?

Look I been seeing these old people, man pullin up in they Ranges and shit

And I just hate to think that it’s gon take me that fuckin long to finally get it

Cus I been grindin yo, I been grindin I done put mad years in this shit man

And I want something to come into fruition

Try not to be ungrateful

But I don’t wanna look like a muthafuckin turkey

By the time I finally get it man

Y know, barely walkin

Havin me do my yard work

I want it now
