Limits

I'm always reaching for my limits
Cause' being comfortable is complacent
I feel at ease when in battle cause I grow with abrasion
I'm filling up, with tenacity you open the cages
I bust through with the fire that killed Kanan
Why do I want everybody to love me when I ain't Raymond
That shit'll drive you up walls, make you wanna duck off
Get the butterflies when under pressure make a gut call
Cause It ain't bout how hard you hit the ground but how you dust off
Bitches like to veer you off your journey tell em fuck off
Compromised with evil energies and cut your luck off
But when you come together with the powers they can't touch y'all
They might make attempts but fall shorter than the runt
One Time, knock it out the park with just a bunt
And my stress, seem to fade away with just a blunt
I'm making small manipulations getting everything I want
You gotta really be the spy and wear a smile as a front
You gotta make em turn they eyes then skip the line to get a lunch
Cause it's only 80 rations and 150 youngs
When it come down to the come down see who really wanna bump
And then After 3 weeks, there was only 81 and I'm in there
30 rations up Im choosing who I want up in there
Know the real faces of starvation cause I been there
All love when they tell me stay up cause I been up
Elementary school a nigga slid and bricked the crib up
It was 3:30 when my momma told me get up
She brought me in the hallway away from all the windows
Shit was kinda hazy I was fresh up off the pillow
Bang crash, shit went to wartime from willows
Moms opened the door up with a knife and then they peeled on
And I was easy pickings cause I was scared shitless
Momma turned into them gladiators from the pictures
If she didn't stand tall we'd be missing
Having flashbacks of '02 when grandad was living
He'd be watching discovery channel smoking on a cigarette
Then he fall asleep when he light it it's holes up in the linen
Talking till I seen em dead and damn near froze me in my sentence
And Granny ain't the same it's cause the pain hit her relentless
And my momma turned to drugs because her heart was ripped to slivers
They say life is what you make it but surprises are the kicker
When the death come dousing over turn the fire to a flicker
When the ball come bouncing over are you shooting or you dishing
See myself flying like a raven when I have a vision
I believe I am above the rest my freedom of religion
Niggas never make it out because they follow the traditions
Of the worse influences and then they end up
Falling victim to the system now he locked up
Decision was unanimous it wasn't even a toss up
His girl have a heart attack when reality walk up
A strong family bond is now chalked up
All us, need some time to figure out our calling
Winning races picking up these medals like I'm hauling
It ain't take me but a couple years and now I'm all in
How can you consider me the lesser it's appalling
Who can really measure up your heart until you show it
1 King 1 staff, that's King Moses
Bear with your thorns if you want roses
Show them your fruits but not how you grow em
