The Shining

These feelings inside of me have created a higher me
Trying to claim a higher seat in this fucked up society
We built our own hierarchy, but people are blind to see
The greed that money breeds making us work defiantly

Most people got anxiety there's bound to be a variety
Of those who think too much and battle with sobriety
The rich live quietly but no one gives them privacy
Hard to keep your sanity when people creep up silently

Building my endurance to shit I never want to see
Shits bound to happen when I'm focused on my currency
Staying focused can't let anxiety get the best of me
Trying to make something out of nothing till the death of me

Didn't want to be broke so I had to figure out a strategy
Been taking my time writing my lyrics craftily
I don't want to be minor so great is what I have to be
Like my hometown Stingers, I'm your next dynasty

Born in E-town I want to be like ecstasy in the nineties
Take a seat now you better take notes while I'm rhyming
Fuck with me now beware I got a heart of a lion
I'll be knocking on your door to get your ass outta hiding

I still ride the public transit I don't need no reminding
I had guys that called me bro turns out that they were just lying
Fuck them anyways If you ask them they'll probably deny it
Mess with me I'll be haunting your ass just like the shining

Sometimes I take a hard look at my life and I question
Is it worth it to go on but I remember my blessings
All the shit I worked for all of the nights I was stressing
All the nights I stayed up when I should've been resting

So I can't give up now, I've got to move with aggression
I've got a lot I want to do I want to show more progression
Want people to remember me with a joyful expression
Live a fulfilling life, leave behind a good impression

I don't have a clue what's ahead in life I'll admit
But I'll keep walking with my head high feeling confident
Let me know what needs to be done and you know I'll commit
Show me my competition I'll prove to you I'm prominent

Many friends said they'd stay true but did the opposite
Nothing I can do but move on and stay on top of it
Focus on myself and my grind, assert my dominance
Keep my circle tight make you wish you were a part of it

Born in E-town I want to be like ecstasy in the nineties
Take a seat now you better take notes while I'm rhyming
Fuck with me now beware I got a heart of a lion
I'll be knocking on your door to get your ass outta hiding

I still ride the public transit I don't need no reminding
I had guys that called me bro turns out that they were just lying
Fuck them anyways If you ask them they'll probably deny it
Mess with me I'll be haunting your ass just like the shining

Puffing on a joint while the cities on fire
I'm an anarchist that's my deepest desire
This city is struggling the people are tired
Yet we still see no change nor hope transpired

Rolling through the city of the dark and shady
Slow down 118th where most people get shaky
Knowing damn well I'll get robbed if I'm lazy
These heads on the streets damn they be crazy

Don't give a fuck hotbox the car it's hazy
Crackhead staring through the window it don't faze me
Harassed by cops saying they care for his safety
Just another day in YEG, drug addicts daily

I came a long way from hitting dumb licks just for fun
Now if you get stained you should wonder what the fuck you've done
Couple close homies who won't hesitate and pull a gun
Hear someone say my name better not be speaking none

Born in E-town I want to be like ecstasy in the nineties
Take a seat now you better take notes while I'm rhyming
Fuck with me now beware I got a heart of a lion
I'll be knocking on your door to get your ass outta hiding

I still ride the public transit I don't need no reminding
I had guys that called me bro turns out that they were just lying
Fuck them anyways If you ask them they'll probably deny it
Mess with me I'll be haunting your ass just like the shining
