I'm roaming outside my safe haven followed by an angel

With a crooked halo, hey world

Hey world, hiding while this pain grows

And I'm just trying to maintain and take it as it the...

And I'm just trying to maintain and take it as it the...

Now I could graze it with my fingertips

Though this is all a simulation look how real it gets

Empty, till I dug in for something

Since then my limits been adjusted to shit the Guiness ain't publish, yet

Underrated, just know degrading me's worthless

Found it, no mistakes that void is shaded on purpose

Surrounded, by the least grounded

Hounds hounding me growling, trying to get me to eat what they're chowing

Weak, how can I not stress? My body has me suffering

Fed by elites face smugged, while obviously corrupted

Lobbyists run economy while the stock market's fucked with

So how am I to trust this, when Obama's just a puppet

My momma bought a house and lost it

Where was her bail out ya'll, but yet her pill habit the government supports it

Real talk shit, hold your applause, as my thoughts shift

I value criticism, depending on who the source is

Of course this is a course that's less traveled

But you can't settle and never concern where you end up

Just slipped, and it was so hard not to surrender

But I skipped the fall, so I'll be gone til November

And this zone, only I can enter

These others cats ain't on my antenna, fuck em

Trumping the odds like its nothing at all

On the plus side, negatives worked like golf, getting me up to par

Dog, what started inauspicious

Guarded and timid, has evolved I'm no longer constricted

By all the lies, and i will not oblige

My pride's my ride or die guide, la da da da

Shit probably my stock'll rise when I'm not still alive

To be real most ain't give BIg L props til he died

What if I get shot and I die, huh?

Y'all gonna say man that kid would've popped if he didn't get popped in his ride

Damn that's life I guess, whats life or death

Where you finally get that credit when they snipe your chest

At night i'm stressed like "i'm nice, where's my success?"

Then I think of my aunt when she put that pipe to rest

And its clear, fuck, the hype, the press, the lights, ice, begets

I'm getting more, they think I strive for less

I just rep myself, fuck who I impress

Don't know what i'll write next, just hope I'm taking righteous steps

Man, life's like rollin a dice, trying to get twice your bet

To get loose from this crisis, tight in debt

Its a fight to the death, you'll never put quite to rest

Like a psycho you wifed catching you skype your ex

Yes, we're divided and on this song I'm wired to guide us

The Golden Arm just trying to unite us

And it seems like I'm blurred from the scene & I'm sightless

Blackball speeding at me, I'm succeeding despite this

I see it now, coming in 2nd ain't winning

So the second i'm winded I'll dig and get a 2nd wind in

Press to the ending, while the rest are sitting

I know what I'm destined for, so I don't care if my records spinning

Hey I know there's skepticism, but my investment's different

I try to think like if Malcom X was living now

The restlessness while he'd spread his wisdom

For every single mom thats grinding through this reckless system

Or every little child who's parents got a meth addiction

Theres's more resources than ever, but there's less assistance

How? Fuck that lesson, skip it

I'm just venting, listen! (or not)

I know a lot of things don't change, love, pain, both work the same

That's worth to explain, when you gain and merge with a scene

Only rehearsed in dreams

I am reaching nirvana, while these haters take it in vain like Kurt Cobain

Word, go ahead curse my name, wish me well, wish me fall

I still got love for you all

Let me make this solace inside me contagious

While I infect you with a plague that changes your hatred, stay on this wave length

I feel like a savior in training, save this

You can't label me, stay away from me majors

And it ain't just standards that got me this cranked up, It's in my make up

I could've jumped ship I stood now I'm anchored

I'm roaming outside my safe haven followed by an angel

With a crooked halo, hey world

Hey world, hiding while this pain grows

And i'm just trying to maintain and take it as it the day goes

Preparing for the day I'm summoned by my maker

I'm laced up, don't need to need to stay up, hey world

Wake up, struggling to grieve with all this

Though it seems too hard, It's all too far a stretch but I'ma reach regardless
