I´ve been workin´ like I´ve never been I struggle every day but I just can´t let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now What I know right now
I´d be better than I´ve ever been, better than I´ve ever been
You ever wonder what it all really means? Heart full of dreams? I know I´ma do it, go get it by any means Serving food for the thought like it´s rock to the fiends I said this shit for years boy, this life ain´t what it seems Sayin´ that you can´t just solidifies that you never will Said you would, said you could, but you ain´t got the skill You gotta climb the highest mountain to master the hill You gotta climb over your ego to master your will Gave up on your dreams for a suit and a pension
God damn, I hope you´re here for the intervention You say you would if you had the money Don´t make me mention That it´ll cost nothin´ but time for you to pay attention Now don´t get me wrong I know there´s people out there hatin´ on ya And it feel like your self-esteem is breakin´ on ya All they ever seem to do is hate when you speak They spend seven days preyin´ on the weak I know the world sleepin´ on ya like a sedative Talk all you want about me homie, I´ma let it live Hater this, hater that, say I sound repetitive Hatin´ in your blood, you was born to be negative
Never been
I struggle every day but I just can´t let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now What I know right now I´d be better than I´ve ever been, better than I´ve ever been
This is dedicated to everyone that never made it And the people that persevered even though they was hated They had a dream and a vision that they follow like a religion But on the real the road to success is prone to collision And every now and then something happens That´s unexpected, like that newborn in your life Because you fuckin´ unprotected And I swear nobody perfect, hell I know I ain´t
Yeah I know this verse is heaven sent but I´m far from a saint Live a life with no complaints, tryna do just what I can Learn from my father´s mistakes and become a better man Now plant a seed and watch ´em grow Teach ´em everything I know Show him how to fight his battles and always go toe to toe And this I know cause I been high, low, right, wrong But I had to do it all just so I could write this song I spit knowledge like the listener is my only son And grip the mic like I´m at war and it´s my only gun Sometimes this journey to the top can be a lonely one
Yeah, and this victory lap a lonely run While my hometown screamin´ you the chosen one Tellin´ myself, don´t choke, don´t be the frozen one
I´ve been workin´ like I´ve never been I struggle every day but I just can´t let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now What I know right you I´d be better than I´ve ever been, better than I´ve ever been I´ve been workin´ like I´ve never been I struggle every day but I just can´t let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now What I know right now I´d be better than I´ve ever been, better than I´ve ever been
I´ve been workin´ like I´ve never been I struggle every day but I just can´t let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now I´d be better than I´ve ever been, better than I´ve ever been
Um, you like that take? I like it Yeah, should I make it more surreal though, or... I think it´s good, hey Bobby run it!
