Kill you?

(little laugh)

I don’t wanna kill you!

You see you… complete me

You made me…

Who I am today...

Look yeah

Adversity

Since I was a kid it defined me

Worked a little harder every time life decided to fine me

Put a block in my way and I’ll race past it

Racing for greatness go’n time me

Put something in my path and I’ma leave it behind me

Reaching to be the best work 24/7 no need to remind me

Look at me! Look at me! Like I’m trying to be in the limelight

I’m a big boy but I’m scared of the dark, scared of night night

Look I got my own monsters in my brain I gotta fight fight

Gotta work past ‘em just hoping hears my scream of pain and maybe think it’s nice nice

My own demons crawling through my brain, infesting like I got lice lice

Like I’m on a mountain road and my head filled with whispers “go left”

But I gotta turn right, right?

See I’d be happy to get some real sleep

Contando lana but I wish I could be counting sheep sheep

Nightmares are a real pain, can you see?

But if I stop talking about dark stuff and work my issues out

How will I make music, slay beats?

Nay beast

I will not let the Devil out of me

Welcome Christ into my soul but

I still feel caged shouldn’t I feel free?

I don’t think I would know who to be

If life was perfect no need for no schemes

If there wasn’t a struggle blocking my dreams

No true reason for the darkness in my poetry

Feel like the Joker, the rules are what permit for anarchy

I’m sick of trash rappers, so I have never-ending allergies

People calling me crazy but I feel like the only one with some sanity

I like to think I tell the truth but when I claim people are wrong they call it vanity

But y’all telling me I’m wrong to say someone is wrong, isn’t that hypocrisy?

Refusing to speak and argue for the truth isn’t tolerance it’s apathy

Falling to society’s concept of right and wrong isn’t maturity

Refusing to fight for the truth isn’t just compliance, it’s flattery

You judge me for fighting for what I consider truth, I’m not evil, heavens no

Just here to take y’all out of your fantasy
