[Chorus: Codak Carter]

My name's in everybody's mouth

Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow

So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out

I ain't never even seen before

So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then

I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am

Stuck in the matrix, getting hard

Tryna be the one to survive it

But this pressure turn coal to diamonds


[Verse 1: J.L]

It’s getting hard living up, to what they say I am

But the thought of giving up, has been non-existent

I just been trying to go a little bit harder

Reconnecting with my heavenly father

Redirecting step into when I call her

'Cause mentally, I'm a mess, I’m becoming obsessed, thought of me ballin'

A physical body of stress, got energy less

Cause everyday I be putting my all in

Ain’t got time for nothing, nobody and when I do nobody callin'

Cause they remember the last couple times

They did call I ignored them

So now its Saturday night and I’m dying of boredom

But I got the studio at the crib might as well

Write down my thoughts and record them

Don’t wanna write about another club

Or calling out another thug

Or write about about another drug nah

Marijuana love

What you expecting none of you is above average cause of my buzz

So I’m digging deep, looking for ways to do what nobody does

Always went hard when no-one was listening

Destiny been whispering my name I answer back with this one


[Chorus: Codak Carter]

My name's in everybody's mouth

Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow

So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out

I ain't never even seen before

So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then

I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am

Stuck in the matrix, getting hard

Tryna be the one to survive it

But this pressure turn coal to diamonds


[Verse 2: J.L]

I got a million flows inside my head at every moment

This is my moment, try to seize it and own it

Squeeze it and hold it, battle within myself

No seeking opponents, creepin' up on it

See it's believing look like the scenery don’t it?

I'm seemingly beaming gleaming rolling and growing

My team a dream you can picture me rollin after I go in

Already know when ya'll get sick of me flowing

That I’m gone have to re-invent, the intent to please no-one

When you successful the thought of falling off can be stressful

You lose your heart and become a party professional

Forget it’s still a journey now fans are hardly impressed by you

Unless you do something, quickness is it cause fans are fickle fool

But they know that we just like them

Well actually I got more fans than the average man

And not enough bread to last me, to the end of the week

I live by the beat like you like check to check

If you don’t move you feet than we don’t eat

So move no disrespect


[Chorus: Codak Carter]

My name's in everybody's mouth

Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow

So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out

I ain't never even seen before

So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then

I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am

Stuck in the matrix, getting hard

Tryna be the one to survive it

But this pressure turn coal to diamonds


[Verse 3: J.L ]

Check, I’m looking for my best or nothing at all

Smooth, we're rugged and raw

Tell none of my people I'm duckin' the law

Or suffering I gotta fall

Involved with nigga’s with drug money stuffed in the walls

The feds were ended up called

So they came in made all of ‘em fall

Not pushing up books [?] they living through me

That's pressure, considerably, considered to be, the one

Literally I hope you help me make this world believe

Hurled into the limelight with not enough time to get my mind right

Too busy tryna get that lime right

They want a single, they wanna see you, want you to mingle

They friends wanna meet you gotta be loved by the people

You need that wicked production stay productive sick and seductive

And stick out in public, spit flames and nothing but it

Well alrighty then, the top is only for mighty men

Soon I’m strong armin' nigga’s starting tonight at ten

Not in the building, I’m on it like fucking Spider-Man

They power to do it’s inside my hand


[Chorus: Codak Carter]

My name's in everybody's mouth

Whispering seems so loud and we about to blow

So many people poppin' up now, with their hands out

I ain't never even seen before

So out I pop the red pill, tryna stay sane and then

I pop the blue one, tryna maintain where I am

Stuck in the matrix, getting hard

Tryna be the one to survive it

But this pressure turn coal to diamonds
