[Intro]

Uh, yeah


[Verse 1]

You ever have a love for something and it's taken away?

Tryin' so hard to forget all of the pain and mistakes

Don't know how much fuckin' stress that my brain can it take

On top forever 'cause I'm so afraid of fadin’ away

This music shit my love and passion

That's why I fell in love with rappin’

God forbid something happens, y'all still have my rhymes

Even though y’all didn't fuckin’ listen half the time

Got my reason, comeback season, dawg, I had to grind

I mean this shit is not a hobby, waitin’ out hours in the lobby

Ain’t no labels tryna sign me, but I’m flowin' like tsunamis

Through the struggles through the grimy, I’ma make it out

Couple years, there's no debate that I’m the greatest out

Better yet, just admit it now

Split the reel and switch the style

Niggas pay attention now, nobody is ill around

And when I say that "Nobody fuckin’ hot as me"

I’m not even being cocky, that's just honesty


[Chorus]

All I wanna do is chase my dream

Gotta make it, everybody’s fuckin’ hatin’ me, oh

I can’t take it, oh no, I can’t take it

I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it

It’s crazy that I can’t trust my friends

Let me know when the lust will end

‘Cause it’s killin’ me

I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it

I can’t take it, I know I can’t take it


[Verse 2]

Anything I spit was nothing but fact

Can’t say the same for other niggas who be frontin’ in wax

Takin’ pictures up on Twitter and they stuntin’ with straps

Overall, cause overhaul ‘cause they suck and they whack

And stress have you fuckin’ jumpin' off the floor and the wall

I’m tryna holla at my pops but he ignore my calls

Got me thinking like, damn man my father is trippin'

Momma got paper but spend it all on college tuition

So my first day of class I’m screamin', “Fuck the professor”

What this nigga gotta say for 30k a semester

Grandma claimin’ that you always gotta pray to get better

Can’t believe it when my niggas gettin’ sprayed with Berettas

And meanwhile the school's collectin’ they fuckin’ checks

We get a fancy sheet of paper with a bunch of debt

Man, that don’t sound right

Its like your fuckin’ whack ass music, it just don’t sound right

The beats with the sound like…


[Chorus]

All I wanna do is chase my dream

Gotta make it, everybody’s fuckin’ hatin’ me, oh

I can’t take it, oh no, I can’t take it

I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it

It’s crazy that I can’t trust my friends

Let me know when the lust will end

‘Cause it’s killin’ me

I can’t take it, well, no, I can’t take it

I can’t take it, I know I can’t take it


[Outro Sample]

And what you need

And what you need

And what you need

And what you are

What you are

What you are

What you are
