Where Do I Start

Awe man, where do I start
It's a lot different topics trynna pull me apart
It's a lot of different people trynna front on my art
But bitch I been dope, what the fuck did you thought?
And yep, this shit's produced by me
I waited a long time to tell you who I be
Had to work a 9-5, plus a 7-3
'Cause I needed the overtime making sure I'd eat
Had to earn my pennies the harder way
Feels like the real me started fading away
'Cause I feel I need to ball in the mall all day
So it's fate that JM is reverse MJ
Now that I said that, watch 'em cut my wings off
But I'll be goddamned if they cut my dreams off
Little motherfucka too tough won't be soft
And B I can C you on my D, so ease off
Look at how I shine baby
You can see the glare when you looking at me
Gotta stop and stunt just to keep up on a front to hide how insecure that we all really be
That's why we go to school, and that's why we go to court
That's why we with the ones that we don't really want
Ya'll can settle less, but I gotta get mine
A goddamn cubicle ain't a place that I can shine
"Shine on" is what my cousin told me
Right before they shot his ass in the middle of the street
Now he was lucky to live
And I'm lucky he did
'Cause the life I live
Wouldn't be the same without the kid

With the world on fire, I don't know where to go
But that's all right 'cause I'm on fire and I already know
If I don't bleed, then I won't grow
My life ain't gonna freeze
Now my dreams alive and I'm alright, cuz that's all I need
