lyrics

Everything I did to this point, I hope it was worth it
I try to paint a perfect picture, my picture is perfect
I often picture myself in XXL mags
Or on Stones Throw Records, in the lab, making a track
This is visionary, I had never claimed to be cool
But contrary to popular belief, so that belief is up to you
so what do you choose? Most of us would choose living in vain
with a little bit of vanity on the side with our names
Kinda farfetched, not really
And all you gotta do is take a walk around the city, and you'll get what I'm saying
I feel a lot of people ain't on the same level with me
That's why I'm by myself whenever I'm making these plans
Maybe an introvert? nah
But I put in this work for the enjoyment of you, plus I'm tryna get heard
Hip hop needs to hear this, cause its more than just words
more than a catchy hook, more than nouns and verbs
Man this is life, and if its wrong, I don't wanna be right
Making these songs from the morning, all the way to the night
Yo, never was physical
so my only alternative from being ridiculed was to get lyrical
My only escape, I feel the days passing by, smoother than letting the beat ride by
Like, I'm just waiting on the pain to subside, Boi, I put this over life, I put this over life
