[Raw Poetic] I got my father's hat gracing me Check the way life's creating me Sexual journeys Women are taking me, making me act so lazily Buildings falling and shaking me up, War is chasing me Vodka is pacing me, prayers my mom will say to me Before I leave today, a morning star is raising me Ideas, I trading these Beings awaking me, running like the youth for this love Cause people hating me They call us "old souls", beats, we like to lay on these I rise like a tree, like leaves, my fall is gracefully God holds a place for me Earth has a trace of me Black out of space of me Time is never saving me I wanna save the time by chains, I steady breaking these My minds the only state for me, basements don't wait for me To make ya list. I'm like ____ "Come away with me." Through the night, seeing what stars are shaping me I'm like a speck of dust, see where the wind is taking me Far from here. While here, it's "Where?" [Hook]X2 I got pride that's always keeping me from turning back Mistakes that I create will keep me looking back What's right within my life, never without known facts I write my life's direction with every written track Growing up with my mother, man (Mother, man) Women, I still don't understand (Understand) Son, I'm looking for the better days And to act the better ways Worldly ways, I step away Light cars, I get away Creeping through every seg-a-way Moments of mine, I kept away My education is taught in a special way Music, I let it play Brings out my ethnicity I socially study my religious path __________________ Fickle things confuse my path Search for what could make me laugh Viewing life through a looking gla** Habits of mine I'm looking past I know I'm wrong, but its never myself I'm looking at At night when its late, that's when I'm looking back Play some things in my book of raps Wishing I could've took it back No second chance to pour My life is no game I beg for pain cause if there's isn't, I'm receiving no gain Kids who claim their lives for war but they having no aim Limit their page, limit their brain, its insane [Hook]x2 Speaking beyond the line Message behind the rhyme I live, some men are kids Thinking how they live in the crib My scene ain't the club There'll never be no way Imma sub The money for love, its deep, the beauty's because The beast can be friend, selling "I can get you a grub And have you thinking that the diamonds is what makes you a stub" Well, I got years invested through time My stocks that binds Cemeteries plotting rhymes, concoct the mind Never no game. I'm putting in the bits I've learned Brain cells I burn, it got me over concerned I gotta make it right, but still I gotta wait for my turn Need power to stand here, but won't determine my term [Hook]x2
