[Intro]
Yeah, It's Roland
I just wanna speak to the people man
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Tropical fruit tasting, treasure, in the making of legends
Basements and bedrooms and sleeping on laptops, closed eyes seeing moments that last forever
And working until work is not even work anymore, never basic, never blazing, never patient, the greatest and yet
I'm the one that they ignore
Ties and relations to the paper, yet i neglect money cause I'm searching for what it feels like to be adored
It's all a cycle, constant rifles aimed at the rivals and still turn to the bible but blame the lord when a brothers buried in the floor
I wanna save everybody that's my problem, I wanna change the world, they told me no one is stopping, but it's difficult when you ain't got no power, no belief or faith but fate still told me lead the way
[Verse 2]
It's got me stressing on what to drop, headaches from what to write
Ink spots, writers block, mind is at a stop
Nothing in my sight, tryna paint pictures, that metaphor for my life how i wanna live, how i don't want them to die
I cry sometimes at the lost youth, hardly anyone to spit the type of truth that can influence a group, of young teens like me
With jeans to their knees and Cheif Keef in our ears, tempting us taunt and be strong, cause the weak get rolled on or go home
Or go long, or spit songs, or dribble basketballs or you gone
That's how they got us living, they living off us killing and I'm witnessing this business X2
Hol' up
[Verse 3]
Is this too deep for a first song? Not enough street for the hood ones?
They said my smooth is just too rough, and this love is just some lust
I feel my good ain't never good enough
But man, how can you flex, when a weight is on your neck and you flat on your chest and you rapping your clothes off till you laying in a vest and they still ain't impressed and you feel you the best so you stressed and you rap so in depth that, you don't even lose your breath and ypu spitting out your soul
And you keep going till you reach gold but you still not known and you still unknown and you want them to know but you know that they know that there's faults when you rhyme so you scared to try
Just incase you don't shine, like nobody notices every star in the sky and you flying by
And they don't look up
And you've given everything except given up
Cause things are falling apart, mama's in debt, dad just got a new job but gotta move out of the country and money's another issue
It's never sunny, the rain adds fire to the flame of the pain that you've gained since your girl left you
And teachers expecting you to fail, they planning to reject you, they ain't gon accept you
Thoughts that fill my head on a daily, lately I've been going crazy
I'm screaming they don't love you like i do girl, i tried to be true girl, go head and be you girl
All along you was loving too girl, I guess you chose the right guy
I'm bout to live the life, just a matter of time
[Verse 4]
I'm tryna vibe, tears in my eyes, sometimes i wonder why
I'm stressed with this blessing, a blessing is a present, present your weapons
Putting rappers in the past, I'm the future of this rap
I plan to be remembered
Far from perfection, prefer to send a message than reminiscing on last night's secular efforts
I'm stung by something and numb to nothing
I'm hunting nothing and I'm running from something
The truth is, I'm bluffing
Man I'm not ready for all this, What if i shoot and i miss?
I'm as afraid as you, afraid to fail
Afraid to lose, afraid to prevail
Afraid to grow, afraid to blow
Afraid to be known, ashamed to hope
Afraid to reign, so i just pray for snow
I guess you know my name but I'm still unknown
