Standing Tall

Things that i saw suicidal thoughts
Life's rollercoaster was causing my faults
Bruise from the rocks needed a locksmith
Key was granted now im thanking god
At my lowest points of life i wish that i was standing tall
I had dope dreams but then marijuana came and that was all
Then had low steam pressure caving in as i would fall
I know i looked weak but better looking weak than being y'all
As i built myself back up i added bricks into the walls
Cemented all my thoughts into the structure of the halls
A wrecking ball was never really common here at all
But like curry life is never inconsistent with a ball

When my role models dissed i thought "why would you say that?"
That's just how i took it and after i couldn't play it back
Started realizing my craft was a bunch of lay backs
Started working harder than ever which i was late at
I would settle so much no wonder i wasn't great yeah
Even now i'm far from potential atleast i say that
Back when i was blinded by light that i self portrayed and
Now i finally see the wack visions that i created
Ain't nothing but misses like i be dodge and wieving felt like hits kept their distance
I kept my image pure unlike these bitches cat fishing
I know i found the cure i have to stick with persistence
Im going up from here the story's strictly for business
I start to take advice running around in circles fixing edges at a time
Making sure it's perfect if it's not then we rewind
If you claim that it's your purpose then put effort in your lines
If they don't they don't deserve it like a cheater when he lies yeah
I just be observing competetion barely strives yeah
I cannot relate don't got the numbers to imply
But i know you see the grind that i've put into every rhyme
You can buy that double G but couldn't buy yourself a mic
If you say that you're investing but the club is where i find you
I hate a fucking poser who am i to seek behind you?
You'll lead me into places that will never see the light
Had to turn my life around i was struggling to retrace
I was following the sound i would associate with fate
All my peers would always doubt me throughout the shaky race
New support will start surrounding me when i'm moving straight and on the same day
From a grand view i wasn't as consistent as i thought
I almost lost it until i thought "i can't take another loss"
Im not a light switch i can't afford another on and off
Cause i am not rich since i put all my value in my songs
As i saw the common errors i was righting all the wrongs
Started turning intricate thoughts into monologues
Started stashing half of my songs where they belong
If they don't sound up to standards i have now they get lobbed

Things that i saw suicidal thoughts
Life's rollercoaster was causing my faults
Bruise from the rocks needed a locksmith
Key was granted now im thanking god
At my lowest points of life i wish that i was standing tall
I had dope dreams but then marijuana came and that was all
Then had low steam pressure caving in as i would fall
I know i looked weak but better looking weak than being y'all
