[Intro]

(Piano Keys Playing)

[Verse 1]

Long gone are the days that we did this for fun amongst each other

I like that beginning line

'Cause see every sentence I construct is constructive

But the world just tends to see the negative and choose to obstruct it

True not every black male has to be a rapper to make it, or live successful

But, I choose to rap because my life is a stress-full and I

Feel this is the only way I can say it

Everyday I wait patient, thoughts going back and forth mind's pacing

Like, "when will I ever make it?" I always answer myself

"But I guess that's never when you're trying to be the greatest,"

Spending hours, days, weeks, months, listening to J. Cole

And Wale shit, and Jay shit, and Wayne shit, and Drake shit

And Kanye shit, like "fuck do I even have what it takes, shit?"

Just sent the girl of my dreams a text the other day

To let her know I'll never change

But it seems we can't even hold a conversation

I guess shit changes when feelings are involved

She went from my, senior inspiration

To, "I doubt I could look at her in her face," shit

I guess I just gotta use that as motivation

Bros say she'll come around when you stop chasin'

But truth is, I'm really not that patient

Should I move on, or just wait? Shit

And my mind'll tell me its only pride

She ain't tryna fit in the bunch of women that are on me

But I'd never really know cuz she'd never really say it

And I'd be stressing over that til' some bad bitches come around

And all those sincere thoughts are replaced with

"Which one of these hoes is facing?"

And even I feel its a shame, shit

And I ain't perfect and them bitches is bad

And they willing to fuck and I'm on the same shit

While all I'm really tryna' do is

Give word to those who are willing to hold me down

As I take this leap of faith cuz fate is a crash course

And I swore to myself i'll never break, shit

When I try to be the change in the world I wanna see

Then I end up like, "fuck it, if they ain't changing, I ain't changing"

So how do I deal with it?

I guess I could only keep it as real as I feel it can get

And on the other hand; I'm tryna stay away from temptation

But nowadays I'm hardly praying and I just pray the Lord understands

But looking from how far I came to get to where I stand

I now understand that life can only be what you make it

From the hood niggas who clap iron

Just 'cause that's the way they were raised

To the beautiful ladies who say

"Fuck love, get laid, get paid, cuz all these niggas will never change,"

Maybe there can be a brighter day

Amen

Welcome to my world
