Well, I'm diggin’ in the crates
Like O.C.And we gotta learn from
The greats like OG, you know
MeBack in the days when
The cadence was amazing Now
Money Pussy, fame instead of a
Good TapeIf Big and Pac were
Still in This motherfuckin’
Game, how
Many fake thugs are gonna
Fade away?Things done changed
And rap’s got a bad nameI hate
To see ’em hit a stain for
CocaineDrugs and guns get us
Stuck in the slumsShit is rough
And tough, but we never get
EnoughWhen I’m hustling, they
Be busting guns for
NothingYoungins still struggling
And suffering for somethingTryna
Stay alive, but crime is on the
RiseDo they fight to live or
Live to fight?I gotta surviveWe
All gonna die, but everybody
Wanna shineOpen my book of
Rhymes again tonightThey say
”The higher you go, the harder
You fall”I keep climbing on my
Own even if I die aloneThey
Never knew the view from
The topcuz they stoppedDropping
Hot shit like drones is all
I knowThey say
”The higher you go, the harder
You fall”I keep climbing on my
Own even if I die aloneThey
Never
Knew the view from the topcuz
They stoppedDropping hot shit
Like drones is all I knowI’m
Driven by my villains on a
MissionTrying to make a couple
Million and it’s for my
VisionNow they all know that
I’m writing the blueprint
Like Jay-ZEverywhere they go
My footprints are what they
SeeIt’s hard to follow cuz my
Motto is ”For Tomorrow”While
They get the bottles and fuckin’
With the modelsI be working as
The fire is burning inside meYou
Better do the right thing like
Spike LeeSo we gotta stay up
This life ain’t as easy as a
LayupNo matter what may come
Fuck it, I’m all the way
UpAlways being straight
UpBitches better wake upYou
Never truly get away with a lie
That you make upThis shit is
So real,but you always on the
BullshitYou can try to steal
But my verse isa full clipI
Fiend for the mic like crack
CocaineHolding it so tight in
This rap againThey say
”The higher you go, the harder
You fall”I keep climbing on my
Own even if I die aloneThey
Never knew the view from the
Topcuz they stoppedDropping hot
Shit like drones is all I knowI
Came so far, it was hard, didn’
T know how to startWas it smart
To follow my heart for my art?
It doesn’tmatter what answers
I getTo write the real chapters
I couldn’t half stepThe pages
That I write are my life and I
RepSomeday you’ll find how
Soon it could endSo I paint a
Bigger picture for my baby in
The futureHoping one day he’
Ll dream like Martin Luther
But if you dream in your sleep
It’ll never come trueAnd if
You laying in the sheets no
One speaks for youEvery choice
You make always makes your
VoiceThe only thing you need to
Get rid of the noise Sleepless
Nights, I know the reasons why
I be staying on my grind and
It’s always on my mind
The demon in the mirror
Sometimes he whispers”Who you
Trying to be? Now you look
Like me”They say
”The higher you go, the harder
You fall”I keep climbing on my
Own even if I die aloneThey
Never knew the view from the
Topcuz they stoppedDropping hot
Shit like drones is all I
KnowThey say, ”The higher you
Go, the harder you fall”I keep
Climbing on my own even if I die
AloneThey never knew the view
From the topcuz they stopped
Dropping hot shit like drones
Is all I know
