"ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I’VE EVER WRITTEN." lyrics

"ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I’VE EVER WRITTEN."

Since 17, had dreams of being on the screen winning a Grammy, and seeing my granny proud of me
I'd start my speech with a thank you for those who doubted me, clowned on me, counted me out snoozing on me they was sound asleep
At times I'd weep cause I would think
I'd never find me peace, could count at least more than a handful of friends who all lied to me
I shoulda known by the way they speak
See if talk is cheap, then every word that came out they mouth amounted to dollar tree
Still I'd believe, that they was ride or die
Inside my mind, I'd try to see the positives
Ignoring all the signs telling me to leave
I was naive and lacking confidence to breathe and really be myself
My self esteem, it seemed to be decreasing exponentially, eventually it felt like hell
My energy was frail, questioning my destiny, my legacy as well, watching enemies prevail, thinking to myself, how could I tip the scale?
When I was blessed with this delivery
Ain't talking shipping mail, I feel like we all still, tryna reach the holy grail, without putting our soul on sale, and worry that we will fail, going around in circles, a dog chasing its tail
I'm preaching this to the blind, can't teach them unless it's braille, keeping my skill polished, acrylic on top of nails
But struggling to get the crumbs while others are given meals (mills)
Confining em with these lines, like they was sitting in jail, and I ain't allowing them bail
These bars that I hurl at y'all got more
Charge than a power cell
Back then I stood at the helm
But I fell and I took the L
Now I'm climbing back with no help
Yeah now I'm climbing back with no help
Always been nice with the pen
My talent exceeds their wealth
Ignored by all my peers
Astonishing, they don't acknowledge me
But I don't care, following my philosophy
No apology or fear
Cause we're all human beings, part of a convoluted scheme
I sacrificed a lot, you popped and you didn't have to lose a thing
I feel like life a lucid dream, from brutal scenes to blue serene skies
Who can scream like me and at the same time bring, a different type of lyricism
That make you think twice when
I been told y'all but y'all never listened
God with rhyming
Going super saiyan God kaio Ken times ten
Not even Lucifer could stop what is in my pen, bitch
Tell me what's the path of righteousness because I'm confused
Every time I try to do good, I end up being used
I'm curious if you could even last a day in my shoes, the years invested, ain't no question
I been paying my dues
I never took the easy route I've always played by the rules
And you do anything for clout, I hate the way that you move
Fake it till you make it, that's the only way you get views, I guess the people in your fanbase just don't care for the truth

Well how unfortunate for y'all, I'll be exposing the frauds, who gained fortune for being dumb while they all chose to applaud
So of course I'm waging a war with them cause bro I'm appalled, they might pass me in terms of streams but they ain't going this hard

Yeah, and the flow just evolves
Spitting like a damn revolver
I ain't slowing at all
Unless you wanna end up dead
Suggest you don't get involved
They knocked me off of my spot
I had to go and cope with the fall
Opening up all my wounds
And started throwing on salt
Locked myself inside the booth
So many songs in the vault
How many times I gotta prove
That I'm the one you should call
I'm the elephant in the room
That makes them all wanna halt
Every element that I use
I've mastered it to a fault
Don't compare me to all these dudes
Who barely rapping at all
But shoutout to all the fans
It's always love for the cult
Yeah shoutout to all the fans
It's always love for the cult, bitch
