Laugh When You Cry
I can never sleep cuz my mind always racing
Friends wanna chill but I'm locked in the basement
I just like the music never cared bout my placement
And now I'm so good that they have to embrace it
But I'm off it, hot like the tropics
Manifest things when I speak from the conscience
When I write this, nobody could top it
I don't got the money but they say that I'm a prophet
But it makes sense that I have to make cents
Can't break bank so how can I pay rent
It's a sad life, but I never pass twice
I been going at it grinding harder than a half pipe
I don't skate but I'm great with the words
Why would I get drunk when I can pick apart a verse?
I just got the talent, competition not a challenge
Tryna work to get the money but can never see a balance
Man I gotta get it
And if not I'm gonna take it, everybody racist
Hatin on the kid cuz his skin isn't shaded
You really can't talk on a 5-figure pay-slip
A day job would kill me, rap is the real me
Man, but the wounds never healing
Suicidal thoughts didn't sound too appealing
I had to feel myself before anyone could feel me
Lately I been working but I'm never getting paid
Writing down my problems then I crumple up the page
How I tell the people that I'm struggling inside
Mean they love when you up but they laugh when you cry
Yeah, that's how they really feel inside
Love when you up but they laugh when you cry
Yeah, that's how they really feel inside
Love when you up but they laugh when you cry
Don't need the fame, don't need the cash
Know what I want so I don't go to class
Crazy how I'm betting throwing every single chip in
And everyone around me just thinks I'm a rich kid
I'm blessed, but I never had it like that
All I do is write raps
Eyes on the gold and my mind in control
So if you ain't keep it real then you gotta give the mic back
Dad left when I was 3
Grandfather died when I was 8
Now I hate when they speak, nobody can rap and,
All they do is mumble so that no one can relate
I'm humble, but I wanna be the greatest
Everybody basic, no one wanna face it
I been in my own lane my mind-state complacent
I'm working til' the day that my idols adjacent
How many years
Fought with my past overcame all my fears
Stopped being weird but I was dropped by my peers
Wanna see you win but they laugh at your tears
Yeah, that's how they really feel inside
Love when you up but they laugh when you cry
Yeah, that's how they really feel inside
Love when you up but they laugh when you cry
Friends wanna chill but I'm locked in the basement
I just like the music never cared bout my placement
And now I'm so good that they have to embrace it
But I'm off it, hot like the tropics
Manifest things when I speak from the conscience
When I write this, nobody could top it
I don't got the money but they say that I'm a prophet
