You can do it

Look

Tried to tell myself to rest today

Turn that feeling off and press the way

Walk a path I know I'm blessed to take

I find a track the best of eight

Only one might make the cut

My bleeding heart just throws the rest away

I wonder if they got to hear the ones I hate

Would I still sit up on this pedestal of medals

Make them cheer if I participate

Or am I just another lost wave

I know my father's shape

Just as a shadow looming over me

My momma say it's where I get this poetry

Stereotypеs of a black youth

I was hooping trynna be Kobe Bean and switch it up for hooks and flowing ovеr beats

Niggas steady hoeing me, told me I could be anything long as I got a plan for when my passion fold on me

Just coping on these 808's and hope it's weak

So I don't gotta drop and hear these same niggas start to notice me

Talking about my voice and how I sound like I need choice of black or brown

Who making noise up in their town more than I ever will

Treat me like a toy and put me down when they get time to settle down and smile fades if I don't got no buzz and get a mil'

Hoes just hit me up trying to be loud

Didn't get no play when I was quiet

I treat love more like emotion than a feeling

And that's just how I'm feeling

A fuck about my feelings

Get the fuck up out my feelings

Ain't no fucking time for feelings trying to be a leader

Been a lot of dark days running out of space for any leisure

Still ain't where I wanna be, if this is life then I don't wanna keep it

Never made a damn thing change from my life so fucking peaceful

So it's war

Self taught

Watch your mind, watch your thoughts, watch your mouth nigga

Watch your mind, watch your thoughts, watch your mouth nigga

Watch your mind, watch your thoughts, watch your mouth nigga

Watch your mind, watch your thoughts, watch your mouth nigga

Watch your mind, watch your thoughts, watch your mouth nigga

Watch your mind, watch your mouth

Damn
