Somehow (Prod. Knowledge)

Ever since I started this, I put my heart in this You say you a rapper I’ll show you what an artist is Empty out the cartridges, rhymes are weapons Land mines in my damn mind watch where you stepping Lately I’ve been stressing, trying to make these ends meet Trying to make 1 dollar stretch like 10 feet And that’s hard to do, I need some sleep One of my older songs is still relevant damn this shit is deep Going on like 12 years making music People always say it can’t be done until you do it I’ve been dealing with this pain, my family going through it I feel like I can’t escape it so I write it down and use it Yeah I use to drink a lot, use to get high a lot, Use to have writer’s block but now I write a lot I’ll conquer this mountain it’s just matter of time The summit wouldn’t be so beautiful without the climb Ooohh I know, I know. I could stop right now But I know, I’ma blow. I just know some how [x2] I’m walking up on these stages I’m nervous it’s got me shaking I see it’s all for the taking I’m broke but I’m never breaking I make a beat and I lace it I’ve been patiently waiting Can’t wait to say that I made it and throw back in their faces So close I think I can taste it Topic of conversation Years of determination My pride and retaliation For all the times that they hated All the times they were racist Division and segregation That’s the way of the nation United was just a statement Instead of a declaration Being created equal Is left for interpretation Politics ain’t gonna save us Money, it just enslaves us Hoping to see some changes But music is my salvation Hold up my mind is racing Moving fast but I’ll pace it Focus and concentration My love and appreciation Creation and coordination Obsessive with calculation Constant deliberation It’s all a dream til’ you chase it Ooohh I know, I know. I could stop right now But I know, I’ma blow. I just know some how [x3] (outro)
