[Intro]
This is the sh** what we talking about
When we in the cafeteria
Like one day we'll be make it
One day they be hearing us
[Bridge]
I'd be lying to myself
If i said i ain't in this game for the wealth
If my album drop, will it pop or stay on on the shelf?
Make an income of expressing myself
Expressing myself
[Verse 1]
Sit back, thinking so deep
Think about past, sometimes hope leaves
And my dreams near, but they farther to reach
And that doesn't make sense, but it does when your me
And they say that i should quit, like f** do you mean?
My sk**s already there, i need luck and i'll be
Better that your favorite, ain't that what I'm here for?
Mom I'm almost there so why dropping tears for?
Giving it my all, pictures of my pain
On a record, and their special so i put em on a frame
Nothing given, its earned
Wonder if i can make a living, off words
I'm working, a handout is worthless
Success is more sweat, when you know you deserved it
Influenced by the 90's so i copy em a lot
Big L or Nas, or Big, Em, and Pac
Going smoking sisha, saying, saying what if we make it?
That's how most our conversations go
Talk about the fame, talk about the hoes
Talk about the money, talk about the clothes
Talk sh** about everybody that we don't like
Saying whats up him? man he ain't got no life
It's hard to create, yet they will criticize the art
They don't see the work that we put in, they only admire the results
Oh god, no way you could pa** me
I'm last chance, of this craft mayn
Man I'm tired of hearing the same sh**
Same flow, same thing
My mind is being tainted
By the sh** im exposed to
My city don't give rappers shine, i ain't even known local
Only known in my own school
[Hook]
This is the sh** what we talking about
When we in the cafeteria
Like one day we'll be making it
One day they be hearing us
One day they be hearing us
This is the sh** what we talking about
When we in the cafeteria
Like one day we'll be making it
One day they be hearing us, us
One day they be hearing us, us
One day they be hearing us, us
One day they be hearing us, us
[Bridge]
I'd be lying to myself
If i said i ain't in this game for the wealth
If my album drop, will it pop or stay on on the shelf?
Make an income of expressing myself
Expressing myself
[Verse 2]
Reminiscing tripping over the talks that we have
So much belief we gonna make it with rap
Discussing who's sick and who's whack
Who spits and who can tell a story on tracks
And it's funny how it started, cuz no one knows how
One minute I'm in cla**es, next minute i was rapping
With my producers, we was making tracks sh**
Releasing 2 mixtapes, in my mind I'm like damn this a cla**ic
Regret releasing those, cuz those were just practice
Wasn't ready to go or make anything happen
Didn't have a vision, and i didn't really plan sh**
In the studio, you would think we'd be productive
But every time we there, we doing some dumb sh**
But ain't nobody forgetting those discussions
Talk about fame, our names on the billboards
Everybody knowing our music, that is something to k** for
Talk about respect, being everybody top 5
The best beats, and the way that i drop rhymes
[Outro]
When people mention their lists, i wanna be top 5
Not top 5, at least top 10, i just wanna be there
But you could never understand right?
You don't get these visions
