The Reach Back (Interlude)

I been working trynna build a little something outta nothing
No discussing, I already put miles on the whip
Been a hero to the city
Still be rapping when I'm fifty
Bulletproof, I already taught Miles how to thwip
Took the mantle and I passed down
I been passed round
Hand to hand
Ain't nobody really care about the kid
I been putting up my boundaries
Planting mind seeds
When I blow then they finally gonna notice what I did
I put me on hold
Coulda had a chokehold on the game
I nurtured the flame
For those who situations the same
We all broke but I know that we nice
My future sculpted out of igneous but colder than ice
Did this twice as long as my peers so why I am here
I gotta vision God painted and it's perfectly clear
Next year it's not up for debate
I'm reaching back, but I'm taking my place

Getting treated like an open source
There's no remorse
So little help
Along this journey
I'm changing course
Why of course I can help
It's really all that I do
All the times I need a shoulder but never leaning on you
Cause It's something like the fifth time
Still trynna
Push me into my villain arc so this my Sith time
If I strike back it's no attempt at a peace sign
Plotting on me but I heard it through the grapevine
Maybe my life has no worth
Before I let you treat me like that I'll quit first
Ain't no second chance with impressions you made first
Dead to me but you immortalized in each verse
As a curse I carry
Heavy on my chest
Ain't no time to rest
Tiptoeing
I ain't trynna topple once I reach the best
Coat tails dragging in the dirt
You are not my guest
People finally reaching they potential
That's at my behest, yeah
