[Verse 1]

They wonder where I get my inspiration?

I tell 'em, I look in the mirror

I sit and analyze just what I would like to see

It's just the life in me

They wonder where I get my inspiration?

I'm inspired by those who did it before me

Also the ones who adore me

Although the ones who ignore me give me that motivation

They wonder where I get my inspiration?

From inside, the kid that's on the inside

I promised that boy this time I'm a dig in deep

Show myself that I just don't live for myself

[Verse 2]

Sittin' in the fear of shit happenin' I have no control of

What if Steve Jobs passed before he invented the Mac?

A career with that I have, started on Garageband

But look here, makin' it this far wasn't part of my plans

Yeah I paid attention in class

I learned more from just being there

Yeah we visit the churches

I'm still wonderin' why we're in fear

Yeah our hearts' clean, you can let God tell you that

Yeah I got peers who hit the blunt to keep their mind clear

Yeah, I got a portion of spirit I feel is barely tapped

Look myself in the eye and wonder just what I'm staring at

Look myself in the mirror, wonder just I'm feelin'

I'm feelin' there's somethin' those in position are still concealing

Bad bitches and millions are so appealing

Conspiracy theories of a villain, slowly revealin'

That physical isolation's enough to destroy a nation

Plus the fear of others equals lack of motivation

Searchin' for love, a picture that society painted

That if I ain't got it in that way, it ain't it

Which is why I'm on a mission to bring to fruition this vision

Sit and look and listen

Dodgin' deadly pestilence

Success is in my residence

I'm imagining having the evidence

And if you see it, that's excellent

And if UC is a college

Then my knowledge is a scholarship

My vision is a scholar

My confidence is all kind of shit

I'm convinced I'm accomplished

I never woke up for class

I just prayed about it then passed

Was a chemist, but hated math

Under the radar, I made a graph

Up in the quasars, I take a bath

Nigga, I made stars, I made my path

Nigga was the nice guy that never finished last

I was the calm dude that always had to spazz on the beat

Cause I held it in so much

Hoppin' in front of the mic, then my life I recite

Cause I might just be helpin' the both of us

Welcome to my world

I hope you're closed, cause I'm openin' up

Victory's in my arm and I'm holdin' it up

Feel the squeeze in my palm

As I slowly ease and calm

The calm before the season storm

The flight that wasn't planned before the landin'

At the Terminal that never seemed to be at home
