If I Knew Then

They say I'm so laid back
I been living life on recline
Joyful is the hiker that find beauty in the climb

Grateful is the artist that can navigate his mind
Why would I buy a watch when I get paid for my time

The feeling is divine I'm traveling cross the globe
My back against the wall I'm using my frontal lobe

When you got the light you could fade or you could strobe
Everybody got a role you could wash or you could fold

It's seems to me that niggas done got lost looking for gold
Forgot about they goals too distracted by these hoes

I'm no better than them
They no better than me
I know better than most
But I'm no better than most

I'm still healing from pain
Still running from growth
Still smoke til I'm numb
Still fucking to cope

Life is funny til niggas start stealing ya jokes
Start stealing ya masters
Then calling you broke

Start taking ya credit like they the reason you on
Start taking yo pub like they been writing yo songs

What a shame
Can't even own the rights to ya name
And niggas chalk it up as just a consequence of fame

I'm just talking, ventin, pardon my reach
The stronger the system gets the harder it is to beat

I'm not against ya deals or the chains you wear
I'm not against the trauma or the pain you share

I'm not against the future or the young niggas comin up
Shit be so divided it be hard for me to sum it up

Most the shit I hear be lacking passion and a purpose
Half the shit I hear just don't even scratch the surface

I don't know what it's worth so I question if it's worthless
I barely hear new shit I'd wanna purchase

Maybe I'm disconnected
Maybe I'm washed up
Maybe I'm out of touch
Or maybe this shit suck

I don't seek validation from my peers like before
Live from the underground got they ear to the floor
I don't seek validation from my peers like before
Live from the underground they ear to the floor
We're gonna have a good day
And all my homies gonna ride today
And all these mommies look fly today
And all we wanna do is get by today
Hey
We're gonna have a good day
And ain't nobody gotta cry today
'Cause ain't nobody gonna die today
Save that drama for another day
Hey, we're gonna have a good day
