[Verse 1: Red Pill]
They say it's hard to be yourself more than anyone else
Nobody knows what you felt or the pain that you
Been going through on a daily basis
Up and down so the change come in phases
We living in a judgmental place
Where some settle being somebody that they fake
All for the sake of saving face
But you lay awake and wonder who that person is you made
You struggle with the thought of you continuing
Living in that skin that you uncomfortable living in
And even Chris and Red Pill should be synonyms
For getting in this industry of fakes f**s, just k**in' 'em
Cause living by that turn cheek and bit tongue
Wasn't how I was raised and it isn't where this kid's from
That goes for rap life and real life
They been doing it forever about to see just what it feels like
[Hook]
Take it, leave it (uh)
Take it, leave it (yeah)
Take it, leave it
Take it, leave it
Take it (you can take it or leave it), leave it
Take it, (yeah, check it out, yeah) leave it
(Listen, yeah)
[Verse 2: Verbal Kent]
I've always been the type of rapper to make your head nod
Why I swore I'd never take a desk job
Why I also swore I'd always be myself while
Others fake moves, yeah
But here I am I stay patient through the blues, yeah
I made it through the boos, now I'm showered with oohs
Aahs and ohs, crowds in all rows 'standing all these poems
And not to be co*ky but sakee is in order
Cause life started out a b**h till I transformed her
Warmer on a treasure hunt, lemonade from lemons
Vodka from potatoes, hey yo pour it in the 7-Up
Same damn rapper that I ever was
Only difference now is I spit strictly over better cuts
Life's unpredictable ain't it?
Roll with the punches, throw 'em in bunches
It's awful hard to explain it
I do my best though, sometimes I want to explode
But I keep on
A Castaway with nothing but his volleyball and his breast stroke
[Hook]
