[Verse:]

When the shit repeats itself, when you know, ya know

This is my misunderstood flow, I prefer takin' shit slow

My gun is loaded, so i always keep a strong hold

The cross paths are complicated, but I'm true to my road

Yeah money can't buy love, but it can buy distractions

I'm stronger on my own, but everyone talks about contradictions

I'm not just a rapper, I'm a lost soul reflectin' on his actions

On a long journey to find himself, while pursuin' his strong passion

I'm not lookin' for smoke, its the least thing that I want

I'm not an instigator, I'm just very nonchalant

When a nigga only got himself, its smooth sailin' from there

When no one is in your ear, everything is beyond compare

If I еver start slippin', I'll make sure my kids nеver get stuck on welfare

Even though there are times where I don't even trust myself

Nothin' is ever last minute, that's not what I'm about

I just want to be reliable, but I can't return the favor when everyone strikes out

Feelin' like Tariq, on the chessboard, knowin' full well only one passes

My label is more than it seems, its a movement expressin' risin' from the ashes

I can't trust anyone, that's how the shit catches

In the end, reality still lights itself, in the end its all up to the fans

In the end, its how you hold ya self, in the end only you will ever understand
