Singularis - Scratch Pt. 1 lyrics

[First Verse] They say testing times serve as proving grounds I wrote this just to vent my dawg tell me how it sounds Could say I'm dope or it's bad either way I don't care Long as it's good to me that's all that matters That didn't even rhyme correctly But who's here to follow the rules anyway? Nod if you check me Most cats follow the formula concerned with who the next be Lost in competition like askin' peeps “Who the best be?” Ain't gon' front, that's who I used to be Not sayin' I'm better but I know better that's why I only try to be the better me I'm talkin' love and truth to the entity f** where the cheddar be Greed makes the world your enemy This goes without sayin' most importantly Check what you respect cause life's what your perspective be And if you take anything away I hope that it'd be Influence maximized when effort's collectively what [Chorus] Never never never never, never never never, never never take for granted your team Never never never never, never never never, change yourself to fit in someone else's scene Never never never never, never never never, never never let peeps dull your beam Never never never never, never never never, never never give up on your dreams [Bridge] How life works sista it's a funny thing Cause those lookin' like angels us'ully be the fiends How life works brotha it's a funny thing Cause ain't anything ever be the way that it seems [Second Verse] I hate to admit lately I'm been feelin' uninspired Maybe I got lucky before maybe I'm losin' my fire I don't what the f**'s up but situation's lookin' dire And both mental and physical be feelin' tired but Y'all know me and if you don't I'll tell you right now My last breath is the only time I'm staying down Cause if I choose to stick with that tunnel vision and frown I got no one to blame but myself for being bound It's time we take responsibility for what's happenin' That's why we feel powerless cause action'-in be what we lackin'-in If you don't add what's good and minus what's bad you feel like a fraction-in It's that simple that's what's crack-a-lackin' In the process of lack of inspiration I've created one Ain't it funny how that works? No matta' how absurd an idea sounds Listen to and nurture it Run with it like Forrest Fly with it like a bird, ya heard? [Chorus] ... [Bridge] ...
