Safer Route

Writing cus I'm really tryna make it out
Family tell me I should really take a safer route
You should really get that guaranteed paper now
How you know that this got work before you play it out
I tell em that I don't but I can't wait around
I been grinding in the dark this ain't no paper route
I put my heart inside the pen and make the paper drown
Make em see it when I finally go and make it out

I'm just tryna stay focused
Foot on the gas till the day that we toasting
Thinking back on how lonely this road is
Make me glad I got a strong ass motive
This the only thing that be keeping my soul in
I feel like I ain't ever really know what a home is
It's probably just perspective I've been overly broken
Lotta weight up on my shoulders younger me was feeling hopeless
I'm coming back with a vengeance
For the people like me who thought it's not worth living
Get you a goal and make it a mission
Give your life more purpose than that hole that you're digging
I feel the same as you do so I hope you can dig it
I'm just tryna tell you that you motherfuckin' gifted
They got always tell you that you really ain't shit
It's really just cus they don't wanna be lonely when they sit
Sinking and drowning they got holes in they ship
And when you touch some money they expect you to fix
Your list of life problems but my life is a bitch
I don't think they get it I've stuck in this ditch
No money living make me wanna flip bricks
They tell me get a job it make me wanna slit wrists
I don't think they get it I be really spitting man yeah I got the passion im in love with this Shit

But I be writing cus I'm really tryna make it out
Family tell me you should really take a safer route
You should really get that guaranteed paper now
How you know that this got work before you play it out
I tell em that I don't but I can't wait around
I been grinding in the dark this ain't no paper route
I put my heart inside this pen and make the paper drown
Make em see it when I finally go and make it out

And you gon feel what I'm saying
I put my heartbeat in every song that I'm playin
Really can't wait till we tearing up stages
Im fill-in up these books like I'm tearing through pages
And I ain't even show how cold my flow game is
Cus right now it's really just about where im aiming
Heart right out a lion ain't no way they could tame it
Got a lot up on my mind I could show you what pain is
Yeah
But id rather see greatness
Make lotta bounds taking leaps with my faith n
I know where my place is
Took the time I needed just to learn all the basics
I said
There's no way to fake this
You gon see it when its time to go hard know where the paint is
Don't ever think you could shake this
I'm a real dark soul n that's just how you made me
I swear

But I be writing cus I'm really tryna make it out
Family tell me you should really take a safer route
You should really get that guaranteed paper now
How you know that this gon work before you play it out
I tell em that I don't but I can't wait around
I been grinding in the dark this ain't no paper route
I put my heart inside the pen n make this paper drown
Make em see it when I finally go and make it out
