lyrics

(Verse 1)

I gave up..
a long time ago
thinking that everything in life was but an obstacle
but Destiny it was my child
and i survived..
even through the hardships some would ruin lives
but its you and I so who decides
who am i? whats my name
even if i changed
the man remains the same
feeling i'm the one to blame
i gotta maintain
its like i conquered then i came
damnnit
talking bout these planets
some would say i landed and i never came back from
alienated fro m the world until i go platinum
and that could be forever and a day
some would never see
some would never hear, who i could really be
but whats it mean to me
does it mean im really free
living life apparently
but maybe not so much..
i could find out one day
maybe when i'm grown up

(Chorus)

(T. Knibbs)
Man, they're lucky that I shown up
Blown up - Stella sippin outta gold cups
took a trip for this - mothafucka show love
Cuz sho enough - with no reason As sure as the seasons
i'll be leavin when this shows done
They played us so I stay on hiatus until they know us
Forget about these other dudes there's no love
Could give a fuck
Place is packed, but why do I feel like its just us?
Pullin off slow sittin low in the cut
Like you know what I slay scripts just still pissed that they missed
We take beats and make hits and such
With no luck
Can't see what there saying and i aint even squintin
See em whisperin and i dont even care ta listen
like so what?
Always said when it was no fun man id be so done
and so its become
Man fuck this you know what
There's no love
guns up
you motherfuckers just lucky that I shown up

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Now looking in the mirror
i never seen it clearer
but im hoping im not turning into something i have a fear of
so i look away
and come back another day
hoping i can see the man i used to know in front of me
without these people telling me
how they think its gonna be
or how it should be done
i'm not your son, i think its funny see
i'm breaking running free
the shackles off my feet
mind always running too im never catching sleep
staying like an open book its really not that deep
and i'm climbing for the peak
topping every mountain
and i'm flipping off the fools
for even fuckin doubting
and i'm shoutin
i mean it all
swear it all
swear to god man
i want it all
what's the call?
are you down or really not at all
cause i adore
now what you waitin for
what you hating for
no need to escalate it all
congratulate me yall
i cant believe we hated on..
