First Page

I'm gettin' old
At least that's just how I been feelin', this shit is gold
They ask me why do I keep digging, they hit the road
They don't see it how I see it, one day imma be the goat
Imma read it then I teach it to my folks
We never fall, we grow
Even on those days with no hope
I been called out, I'm a joke
Life broke me down, lemme go
And now I take it real slow
I had to take a step back, look at my mind set
Why I'm here don't forget
I got this shit I can't trip, I got this shit all day
I can't walk away now
I came up from being down, I came up from being nothing
If you know me no discussion, my production been non stop
Investing in my stock, make a lot of money
Say they love me, not my buddy, they just wanna see the green
I bet you know what I mean
Workin' on routines that could benefit me well
If they mad, let em yell

They don't, know me like they should
They read the first page and they judge the whole book
I'm way too smart for mufuckas that aren't
Lemme make my art, lemme make my art
They don't, know me like they should
They read the first page and they judge the whole book
I'm way too smart for mufuckas that aren't
Lemme make my art

And it all started, way back when I was a kid
I knew what I had to do but they told me what they did
Like it's better, more than ever they don't wanna see you dream
They don't wanna see you make it out of this bullshit routine
I keep working through fatigue
Imma work til I succeed, make my own reality
Make sure everyone believe
I just can't wait to relieve, all this stress up off my shoulders
Moving fast, I can't be slower, I'm a smoker, never sober
I blame this on my anxiety
And I don't really fit society, I'm lost
I move silently across, everybody's radar
Cut a couple people off for being traitors
Ask too many favours, don't do nothing on they own
I quit picking up my phone every time I see them digits
I be taking care of business I got better things to do
I been on another level ever since I seen the truth

Know me like they should
They read the first page and they judge the whole book
I'm way too smart for mufuckas that aren't
Lemme make my art, lemme make my art
And they don't, know me like they should
They read the first page and they judge the whole book
I'm way too smart for mufuckas that aren't
Lemme make my art
They don't, know me like they should
They read the first page and they judge the whole book
I'm way too smart for mufuckas that aren't
Lemme make my art, lemme make my art
They don't, know me like they should
They read the first page and they judge the whole book
I'm way too smart for mufuckas that aren't
Lemme make my art
