They Tell Me (feat. Bright Fame & HyBrid)

They tell me
They tell me
But I tell myself
So as I
They
We gifted
I speak the truth
They tell me no
They always on my back to go back to school
Think putting down my master plan is cool
I don't want to be you
Playing by the rules
Like I give two
Or got something to prove
I'd rather work hard and chase my dreams
Than to pay out the ass to read at l tri c
If that's you then do the dead
But don't dare diss me for perusing my dreams
Ima have to cool you down just wait for their heads to steam
Everybody see me shining like some high beams
My souls bursting at the seams
Our futures bleak so we play a beat
Empty my soul and pouring out my heart
I've had the key to remain sane from the start

They tell me
Pick up the pace cause the race wont change
I aim to join this crazy game
Cause the drive in my veins is driving me insane
They tell me
I'll never be more than a drop out
Never make it further than I am right now
But I tell myself I'm a renegade so I'm a work to change it
It's about winning not being famous
So as I hit this
They flip shit
We gifted and lifted
I speak the truth god as my witness
They tell me no but I never listen

They tell me to get a better job
Why the hell you think I use this pen to jot down all my thoughts cause y'all be broke if I'm on top
Ha
Stop if you thinking that you work harder
I'm in my prime like wayne on the carter
I'm on a mission
Get y'all to listen
Tell them my story no contradiction
I got a sickness
Cant stop spitting
That's my infliction
That's my vision
I see it clearly H.D. my mind is like a television
No decision choice was made for me they say it's destiny I don't belive in that
But I belive some folks can't even rap
So I put my name on the line
For the sake of the rhyme
Put my pen in my hand
In the place of a nine
That's how I'ma fight back
Ima show you how it feel when a dark knight snap
And I never unmask I'm on the attack
For them wack ass rappers
Y'all just disaster
Y'all claiming real
But y'all just actors
Plastic cast
People that work hard
We Call them masters
Y'all ain't pros never said one thing original
Do I sound confident
You don't even know
I don't belive in myself I belive in a flow cause I know it's what's gunna get me far
Even if we fall back let's reach for the stars
Because in the worse case we back where we are
And the best we sitting with a plat living large

They tell me
Pick up the pace cause the race wont change
I aim to join this crazy game
Cause the drive in my veins is driving me insane
They tell me
I'll never be more than a drop out
Never make it further than I am right now
But I tell myself I'm a renegade so I'm a work to change it
It's about winning not being famous
So as I hit this
They flip shit
We gifted and lifted
I speak the truth god as my witness
They tell me no but I never listen

So as I hit this they flip shit
We gifted and lifted
I speak the truth god as my witness
They tell me no but I never listen
We gifted
They tell me no
