I've been busy weighing out my options yo
This rap game grind, man it's toxic bro
Dealing with the stress of all these obstacles
It's impossible, it's a constant war
Inspirations gone and my confos low
People diss the singing and they knock the flow
Hardly marketing 'cause I ain't got the dough
Got to do something that'll shock them bro

I hear you brother and I feel your pain
Tough to see you struggle when I hear your flame
Watch the late nights and I see the long days
Please don't give up now, man you've came a long ways
Trust me dog your break is coming soon
You've always had the love and a lot to prove
It's understandable you don't know what to do
I agree though, you gon' need something new

Literally, on some Slim Shady shit
Anything to get me that Dre beat kit
Anything that'll help me pay the rent
Anything that'll help me make a dent
As big as the one that I know I could make
Can't go Slim mode, no that's too fake
Last time I tried this I dyed my hair pink
Put a slit in my eyebrow and wore a fake mink

The candyman phase, that was some steez
Need a sequel, make another one please
I know what you mean though, actually bro
Experimenting is fun, but what comes natural
Between us, I think it's your bars
Your lyrics should be printed on some Hallmark cards
You're a fuckin' Shakespeare, I swear to god
Maybe you should write songs and ship 'em all off

I've thought about it, but it just seems dumb
Even if I make the dough and go platinum
I'd rather build my repertoire and catalogue
Around my beliefs and my values dog
Not saying that I can't do that too
But writing songs from another point of view
For other artists and for other crews
Seems like settling instead of staying true

Honestly, I hear your complaints
But you signed up for this shit, you know what it takes
You need to double down, jump and have faith
Your circumstances are the last thing to blame
You've got all the skills and you've got the smarts too
If you don't make it, it's truly on you

You're fucking right bro sorry to interrupt
But I got to give it everything I know that it's a must
Yo as hard as I'm working, I know this is a touch
Of what I can offer to the world, so buckle up
Ima really zone in over these next few months
And let these songs be a reflection of who I've become
