[Verse 1]

Only shit that i have ever faked

Was the smile on my face

Cuz of the pain that had crossed my fate

All dem nights i was hoping for a better day

Too many obstacles in my way

They claim they your bro but then they betray

But its the realness you cannot replace, its all i can say

Mind like ocean, so fuck with this wave

Most of my life, felt like im in the maze

Im caged in, with my head filled up with rage

With dark thoughts that I just cannot escape

I had to break trough, 'fore it was too late

Wakin up every day, feelin im drained

Too much stress on my brain, Im losin my shape

Then I contenplate, Is this the right way

But all this stress, Made me manifest

Only push out the best, From the depth

Of my chest, Brain is a weapon so beware

Im strapped

But more than i bust a cap, I use it to protect

And as the sun sets, The darker shit gets

Seein less and less, Lately i been stuck in the net

Like an SMS, Been waitin for the signal that, Sends me back

To the mindset, That makes me project, The fact

Bruh Im not done till i see my haters clap

And not even the threat of death, Could not hold me back


[Chorus]

Im trippin cuz all of this stressin

Just trynna make a progression

Mind full of questions

Got all of this tension

Step by step

They wish I fall of track

But that cannot happen


[Hook]

And my eyes, disguise, A lotta scars

That i got from the darkest sides

All dem lies, got yall hypnotized

If u not real, I dont sympathize

Dont act surprised, Just step aside

If u buggin i got that pesticide

My mind in skies, Im too alive

Im trynna strive, Its do or die

My mind in skies, Its time to shine

Its do or die, My mind in skies

Its time to shine, Its do or die


[Verse 2]

Broke pockets, That pain and that hunger

All part of my struggle

Brought up in a gutter

All I saw, Static from evening to sun up

But the hope that I dug up makes me go harder

Im trynna, assemble the puzzle

How everybody trynna keep it one hunna

But backstab eachother

And now i gotta get up, Do better

Im fed up

Get on next level and never gonna let up

Mind too chaotic, its cloudy

Thats curse of the prophet

I doubt it, itll ever change

All I see is duplicates, foolishness

Then they show they real face

Im like "Who is this?"

Dealin with hypocrits everyday

They gassin me up, Imma detonate

Blowin up like a handgrenade

Fuse too short, Ain't no stopping me

I lost my temper, and slowly im loosin my patience

Prolly the cause of my detonation

Trip down on memory lane

Side affect of nother contemplation

Stories i never told still flashin

Oh boy...

Too much to think of, and i feel like a void

That shit got me feelin hella destroyed

Type of shit, that im trynna avoid

Becuz my spirit, not with it

I stick with the realness

I dont like to mimic, No gimmicks

And all of my lyrics

Are straight from the core

Gotta go hard, not to catch another loss

Im tired of slips, and all of these falls

Gotta get up, and fix all my flaws

Whatever it takes, im down for the cause

Overthinkin, stuck in a fishnet

Third eye blinkin, all my hope is dead

Losin vision, fuck bein mislead

My decision, make it killin instead


[Chorus]

Im trippin cuz all of this stressin

Just trynna make a progression

Mind full of questions

Got all of this tension

Step by step

They wish I fall my track

But that cannot happen


[Hook]

And my eyes, disguise, A lotta scars

That i got from the darkest sides

All dem lies, got yall hypnotized

If u not real, I dont sympathize

Dont act surprised, Just step aside

If u buggin i got that pesticide

My mind in skies, Im too alive

Im trynna strive, Its do or die

My mind in skies, Its time to shine

Its do or die, My mind in skies

Its time to shine, Its do or die
