18 Area (feat. Zoey T.)

Yeah uh Maestro
Look
Tryna reach my goal but there's a barrier
But I'm in the 18 yard area
I'm not really injured, I got many scars
So tell me if I meet the whole criteria
Tryna reach my goal but there's a barrier
But I'm in the 18 yard area
I'm not really injured, I got many scars
So tell me if I meet the whole criteria

Uh look
Same face, different place like I didn't even age
But the story still the same, man somebody turn the page
I don't even read the Bible but I'm praying for some change
They think I'm just a rapper, but I told them I'm a sage
Like a bird in captivity, I am very caged
Like a prophet in asylums, man they think I'm so insane
But they don't know my pain, so forgive me for my ways
I got Michael Jordan dreams, I'm working on my aim

I've been played a lot
Not even talking bout the streams
I've been played a lot
By people tryna sell me dreams
That I almost bought
But I am everything I need
I am what you're not
'Cause most of y'all are mini me's

Tryna reach my goal but there's a barrier
(It's a lot)
But I'm in the 18 yard area
(I am Close)
I'm not really injured, I got many scars
(There's a lot)
So tell me if I meet the whole criteria
(Or if I'm close)
Tryna reach my goal but there's a barrier
(It's a lot)
But I'm in the 18 yard area
(I am Close)
I'm not really injured, I got many scars (yah)
(There's a lot)
So tell me if I meet the whole criteria
(Or if I'm close)

For this shit I got love, heart and the passion
But if I say I don't do this for racks too, I'd be capping
Y'all think it's by choice that I'd be spazzing, if I don't
I'll be a never was, or a has been
Man, y'all niggas just do it to be seen
Me, I'm tryna set up a meeting for the means
Fuck the hoes nigga, I got mouths to feed
And just like the bitches y'all are, pussy's all you need
To some of us man this music shit is life
And we always touch a couple of souls
With the shit we write
We all got dreams but yours only come at night
Not for me
Mine include reaching different heights

Tryna reach my goal but there's a barrier
(It's a lot)
But I'm in the 18 yard area
(I am Close)
I'm not really injured, I got many scars
(There's a lot)
So tell me if I meet the whole criteria
(Or if I'm close)
Tryna reach my goal but there's a barrier
(It's a lot)
But I'm in the 18 yard area
(I am Close)
I'm not really injured, I got many scars
(There's a lot)
So tell me if I meet the whole criteria
(Or if I'm close)
