Something To Prove

They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why

What if you lose your heart
And then you sign to major labels
And you lose your art, but that is just the start
What if you screw yourself, and you acquire wealth
But then you lose yourself, what if you lose your health
What if you meet some girls, and then you cheat on yours
What if you lose a good woman while chasing after whores
What if you open doors, and on the other side
The devil does reside and he wants you to sign
Upon the dotted line, what if you look behind
But you done walked so far from God that now he's hard to find
What if you start to feel feelings that you just can't define
What if I start to feel feelings that I just can't define
I know about this life, I know just what it brings
I know about the light, I know I must supply it
I know about the devil, I know I must defy him
Without partaking his treasures and tryna' justify 'em

They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why

Four in the morning, I'm writing bout what's important
My ego has took a hit, cuz everytime that I spit
I realize, I'm not bigger than Drake, Cole or Kendrick
But I'm rapping until the end or at least the end of my wits
My city they want a star, people they need a leader
My biggest fear is I'm an imposter and I ain't either so
What's the hope for me, won't say no names
But we gon really cancel Cole
after what he did for the game
I mean, he wrote "See World" and so I know he cares
But then I have to ask myself like is that even fair
To judge a man on all the lyrics that he choose to share
and then ignore his darker side as if it isn't there
Cuz since I dropped "Can I Live"
The city act like I'm a savior
Like I'm above my own prejudice or mindless behavior
I promise that I won't waver or caper
until my streams turn to paper
Until my grill is on fader but that won't be enough

Four in the morning I'm writing about what I fear
That I will go in the ear, and out the other of brothers
That been dealt the sickest hand, pointing weapons at each other
Pap-pap-pap while my track plays in the back
As I go and cop a range without producing any change
I'd rather hit the town inside my '06 stang
Because the pain I'd feel inside, living like a king
While, all my niggas die is something I can't explain

They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
They telling me, about the things I'm bout to lose
But I keep telling them that it's thing I gotta prove why
