Background

Tryna keep us in the background (in the back)
Tryna keep us in the back man we always on attack now
Man they tryna hold us back they ain't even made a rack we ain't ever gonna crack neither
(Yeah yeah)

For far too long I been sitting in the background
Getting bigger enemies but I don't want to back down
More than an artist I'm da Vinci when the tracks down
I'm bringing may weather so you better pack out
It's sad
She thinks she can break us
But she cannot take us
She underground while we are cracking the surface
Got people sweating cuz we know this our purpose uh (uh)
We had it different (uh uh)
No one want to listen (uh yeah)
No one saw the vision (Yeah yeah)
Life felt like a prison (whoo whoo)
Barely alive screw a 9-5
Or just gettin by just to survive
Living out lies by getting high
Not really living till I'm satisfied
Only live by that do or die
My name won't be scrutinized
Till my revolution gets televised
When I was young I wasn't heard
Either I was lame or was just a nerd
Back in them times when them words would hurt
Back then when I got curved
For being what I shoulda been (me)
But now I been good again (see)
You don't even know who you testing
Been one of the young and the restless
I come for who they think best is
He's been in my mirror detested while flexing
I've learned you gotta be confident
To be dominant

Now I want you to listen to me closely
Maybe you'll learn something hopefully
Man this success is kinda lonely
It's hard cuz it moves so slowly
Sometimes you feel less than blessed
You tryna make way but you feel stressed
Doubts in your ear now you feel depressed
No matter what you do don't you ever do less
(No you don't)
People will mock the strong cuz they are weak
You are so hungry so why don't you eat
There is enough for you and the whole team
But be careful who you handing a piece
If time is money then money is time
That means every minute is a nickel or dime
Either invest or spend it for a ride
But that's for you and only you to decide
I know what it's like feeling hopeless
When your hearts been trashed and it's stolen
When you so mad that your fist gets swollen
But you looking in the mirror saying you been chosen
Just remember everybody's built to be a soldier
Keep your dream alive till your life is over
I hit rock bottom before I ever got bolder
Rising to the top now I'm getting exposure
Coming from the back to the front cuz I shine
People gon hate you trust I ain't lying
They just hate the fact that they cover they eyes
Everybody hates that they feeling real blind
Just know that all success is destined
(Second) Only work on progression
(Lesson)Failings been out the question
(Bless em) cuz I'm in the league of these legends
