[Verse 1]
I just took the time to
Write up a couple rhymes and
I only pack bowls, I ain't f**ing with them lines
Inspiration and my goals are made and reached when I'm high
So when a hater be judging I just laugh and walk right on by
I remember when I used to care what people thought of me
But I ain't on this earth for them, I'm here so I can do, me
Which means I'll dress how I want
And I'll act how I want
And I'll do what I want
Unless the 5.0 wants to stop, me
But I'm used to it, damn, there's them lights again
One more ticket for me fam
What's the violation sir? "Speeding, too much weed and
This ID is chalked" damn
"And by the way I'm being lenient on you my man"
I'm 17 and I'm in debt
Life is taking me on this trek
That I ain't liking so far but I'll still be looking ahead
It'll all get better just like my mom said
I should be taking her advice and I should study more instead
[Hook: Lupe Fiasco]
I'ma keep it cool and I'ma do me
It is what it is and it's how it's gon' be
Until I get there, 'til I get there
And yeah I got flaws
I know I'm not perfect
But all the ups and downs
Will soon be worth it
When I get there
When I get there, whoa-oa
[Verse 2]
I want to change the world but so does everybody else
And they can start off with them while I'll be working on myself
No help, or a**istance needed
To make it there I'll need to be a little bit conceited
I got enough ambition to where I'll never be defeated
Obstacles are placed in everybody's life for a reason
I'm just trying to figure out mine cause lately they've been making me heated
Hopping over one after the other hoping all of 'em I beat 'em
A, B, C and D
Not the alphabet you see
I'm talking about my grades progressing throughout the school year
I can get 'em back to B's
But I'm too damn lazy
Not from the purple haze, but from my parent's genes
sh**, and they ain't the ones to blame
And I know it's a damn shame
I got the knowledge and sk**s but what's rusty is my aim
I'm off target with my life, luckily I got my sane
Cause months ago that sh** went down the drain
Just like the money in my bank
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Until my life gets straightened out, I'll still be doing me
Cause I ain't changing who I am, I'm changing where I need to be
And I ain't changing what I do, but I am changing how I see
The world, cause I know that the world can't stop for only me
Ugh
People always talk and I'm the one to hit ignore
And not listen to their sh** cause they just closing open doors
Shooting down your dreams getting you saying "this ain't for me no more"
When you got 'Other options' that your a** fails to perform
Never intimidate
Be yourself and you'll do great
Cause I'll be goddamned if someone tries to degrade, me
Ya'll know my f**ing name, not my f**ing life story
So to help ya'll understand I'm chilling here with this mic recording
Now...
[Hook]
