[Verse 1] Instead of monetizing rhymes, we should prophesize Poetic justice in between my lines Labeled up and coming, a kid on the rise All the fame depicts the prediction of demise So, let's look at the picture A painted Mona Lisa only visioned by the richer Now look at i'm pictured, a teen with no future So I replace all my grades with some humor I treat school as a burden Get up every morning And i'm barely even learning I take more from the game Now i'm focused on putting on and breaking the plain The barriers are standing, waiting to be broken The talent at my age, Chris Miles, Token I'm not even mentioned, patient for attention Crazy... I wrote my first bars in detention What does that mean? The troubled at the rubble have a significant dream With the most ambition out of every single student If I make it to the show then my statement has been proven Therefore, I keep moving, explaining my story Hoping one day I constitute to glory [Hook: x2] I write to block the pain The black sheep kid with a problematic brain I found my purpose, poetic portrayal Got a book full of verses [Verse 2] Instead of talking suicide The enemies, mentally Should be unified School is just a way bullying is utilized
My dreams looks absurd in my mom's eyes The perception of depression depicts your demise So, let's get specific Poetic portrayal, very far from a gimmick I don't listen to a critic cause they see a spitten' image Of me, my ways, how I walk around My thoughts on opinions and the people I surround But... I don't stay in reality My feet off the ground, with a cloud mentality I could flop, get dropped, make a path to the top All the bad feedback could never make me ever stop I've made it too far, and this is what I live for Won't be the adult that's always wishing that he did more What's the price of being rich Selling souls to get a goal, with the money you can fix Every flaw you see, who you wanna be For bad, for worse, all bright amenities I hope it turns out cause I don't have a plan B I could quit right now or hustle to a Grammy Rest in peace Grammie I hope you recognize, my music, my doings I hope you don't despise, cause this is my life All my dedication, the sh** I be making is my own salvation Instead of saving nations, I be saving myself For nothing less, f** the wealth No mind on money, no mind on matter f** it man, I hope my pockets don't get fatter
