Catharsis

Wait up a second you niggas want war?
I'll say it again 'cause I said it before
You all move the same, keep slithering more
I'm cutting the grass 'cause I'm getting too bored
I never quit music I just took a pause
Y'all are some actors who seem to forgot
No Pulling Punches and Beacon Deluxe
Even if BU Hip-Hop did suck
Four projects last year I did them myself
Word to my brothers I did them with help
Don't you dare discard all my work
Fuck up with me and you're dead in the dirt
Your body in pieces, your head in the earth
Your dick in a ditch, your limbs with the fish
You wanted my wave but can't even swim
I suggest that you hit up the gym
Carry your weight, lift yourself up
Putting me down just isn't enough
I constantly struggle to type out the words
Got hours of lyrics that'll never be heard

Why am I scared to use my own gift?
I don't have an answer it is what it is
And if that makes me weak I accept what it is
Embrace all my faults but reach for a fix
Not taking a shot is as good as miss
A plan with no action is only a wish
I hated myself, learned to forgive
And the proof of that were the scars on my wrist
And all on my arm I didn't mean harm
Overwhelmed by the stress and I needed my calm
I stared at the summit, too scared to climb
There's no one to blame it's all in my mind
Waste all my time with thoughts and no action
I need to let go and give in to my passion

Every other day I'm dragging verses in the trash
While people telling me to get up off my ass
While I'm so scared to fail I don't even wanna rap
But I'm done being in denial I don't wanna act

They trashing my lyrics they trashing my rhythm
I don't give a shit it's just how they written
Don't care about bars, don't care about diction
Don't care for my schemes or whatever my pitch is
My voice is too high, I'm rapping too fast
This one is for me I don't give a crap
Isn't my fault you don't fuck with the vision
I'm spitting my truth you don't have to listen
This isn't for you, this one is for me
I'll be my best self 'cause I owe my team
I owe myself, I got low self-esteem
So cheers to my journey on the way to my dream

The passion, work, and ethic, I cherish my art in essence
I walk in a room and everyone's alerted to my presence
Ignore standard convention, for that they best respect it
For what I'm representing, respect when I am present

I'm all in your head while I'm paying no rent
Engraved in your brain you won't ever forget
Imagine then capture but never pretend
I'm feeding my team when I'm breaking my bread
On enemies I'm not wasting my breath
I'm my own problem you aren't a threat
Don't worry 'bout me or the money I've spent
You only worry when I come for your head

The passion, work, and ethic, I cherish my art in essence
I walk in a room and everyone's alerted to my presence
Ignore standard convention, for that they best respect it
For what I'm representing, respect when I am present
