lyrics

I listen to my mind and all it has to say,
is it a true crime like hollywood today?
or is it a smooth rhyme of how to not lose faith?
maybe this is how i escape

Escape from all the lies,
enemies in disguise
and avoiding the fakes with money in their eyes,
i'm here for the small time hustlers on the rise,
always on the grind,
never nine to five,
flippin whatever they can but only if obliged you see,
and i'm livin this life for me,
I ain't waitin for a prize or ever making a plan b,
I'm on a roll,
but these thoughts of being alone fill the void of self control,
so if i end up losing myself who's to know
that i made it this far with room to grow?

I listen to my mind and all it has to say,
is it a true crime like hollywood today?
or is it a smooth rhyme of how to not lose faith?
maybe this is how i escape

(but on some real)
I never wanted to be me til i tore off the muzzel,
now i'm working on gettin myself out the struggle,
and I can hear the demons screamin not to keep up the hustle,
but my dream is schemin through fiendin and I won't give up so,
believe I'm leanin over all who said I wasn't special,
this is me overcoming defeat and bustin through the threshold,
superseding the weak so you know i'm in these streets,
and even though I'm new on the scene,
I hope you all can admire my decision to speak LANG.

I listen to my mind and all it has to say,
is it a true crime like hollywood today?
or is it a smooth rhyme of how to not lose faith?
maybe this is how i escape
