Won't Let Go

I'm just getting high to pass the time dodge my sorrows
I'm just living for the moment don't care about tomorrow
And they know it's potent but I need my potion
Judge me by the effort I put in not cuz I'm chosen

Asked the genie in the bottle for a favor
I wouldn't think this shit could happen back when now was still later
Back when I had enemies that I know won't mistake me
Back when I had felonies a couple open cases
When I tried to rule the world but they ain't let me take it
Destiny prevails, failures turn to greatness
I just picked the brush up with my vocab and I illustrate it
Do this for culture not a vulture I don't imitate it
I done been through intake
Legend from a inmate
Grown ass man but then old folks still hate
They told me not to rap, I made career outa that
They told me not trap I lost it all and got it back
But now I got a license I pay taxes in the trap
I did what they think they can and never could and that's a fact
I done been through hell and back
I went to heaven with the pack
I seen my brother catch a murder seen another one get clapped
That's a fact

I'm just getting high to pass the time dodge my sorrows
I'm just living for the moment don't care about tomorrow
And they know it's potent but I need my potion
Judge me by the effort I put in not cuz I'm chosen

Stabbed in the back by the same people that was walking to me
Now I'm getting dms from people who wouldn't talk to me
I love the way it feels but I just wonder what's it costing me
I try to turn my name from a business to monopoly
Turned myself from nobody to everywhere they stopping
Blessings and curse i make a living off a verse
But still I feel like I'm alone and sometime that feel even the worst
Magnify the feelings positive and bad
Level headed when I'm sober I get high when I get sad
Climb the ladder of emotion and just fall on back
Autobiographical this shit is more than some rap
More than rhymes more than words this feelings and facts

I'm just getting high to pass the time dodge my sorrows
I'm just living for the moment don't care about tomorrow
And they know it's potent but I need my potion
Judge me by the effort I put in not cuz I'm chosen

Nailed to the cross crucify me just for living
life
Why they coming to me I'm the one that really needs advice
I'm the one that rolled the dice
Lost and got it back than fucked it up just simply outa spite
Everybody know the answer not everyone know the price
Everybody see the shine but not everyone pay the lights
Sometimes you gotta take responsibility just cuz it's right
Even if it's wrong don't worry do it it's gon be alright

I'm just getting high to pass the time dodge my sorrows
I'm just living for the moment don't care about tomorrow
And they know it's potent but I need my potion
Judge me by the effort I put in not cuz I'm chosen
