Rebirth

Wasn't born in '03
I was born today
I fornicated with the game
I swore I'd make it
I was buying quarters, eighths, and grams
Tryna make a band
Just one bag at a time
Without it passing my mind
That I was bound to be the greatest fuckin' rapper alive
But I was goin' through the motions,
Not emotionally open
I was hoping they don't notice it
That really I don't got no emotions at all
From all the years that I was broken
They were hoping I'd fall
But I carried all that pain, and I took it like a G
I got married to the game, put my foot into them beats
I knew my heart was gone but my soul was still with me
It would hold the real in me
I ain't never need a friend, they be pretendin'
So I told 'em leave a message
If it's urgent or they asking for help
I never had a deep connection like I had with myself
But that me against the world mentality is what discerned reality
From all the lies that I was fed
Right inside of my own head
Thought I couldn't make it worse than it already is
But karmas a bitch
Somehow I always fall for her tricks
So now I'm walking the bridge
Between myself and who I wanna be
Honestly been thinking that I probably
Just wanted these commodities of friends
And of these bitches
'Cause I'm used to someone switchin'
But then fuck what I'm accustomed to
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do
I'm turning into something new
I'm doing it for me and I ain't doing it for none of you
Yeah, cause I remember what you did
you a bitch
, you were real, and never switched
I say the way I feel, I also wanna make it big
So while I'm tryna make a mill I know I'll never change a bit
The last day that I'm changing is today
And it was fate when I was placed
Inside a city that be hating by the day
But they be shooting by the night, and if they doing that shit right
Then the murder rate ain't further raised when you inside the sights
If I don't make it in this rap shit I'm still doing it for life
Only do it when I have to but it's true that I can fight
I'm a motherfuckin' fighter,
Bitch I'm coming from the fire
Like a phoenix from the ashes
I'm a demon with this rap shit
I might leave you in a casket
You gon' see that in the past tense
I was killin' shit but none of it as real as this

Yeah I pleaded guilty to a felony crime
And it was crazy how them prosecutors tellin' me lies
When I was struggling locked up I just fell in the rhymes
But I swear inside that cell, man, a part of me died
When I got out then a better part had started to rise
I would wait to fuck the game up but it's already time
