Book In My Mind

Listen, what it is or what it isn't
I be in the sky, skip the stairway to heaven
Never in disguise, keep it a hundred plus a million
Carry hammers if you try to hold me under a glass ceiling
I'm apathetic while some people catching feelings
Gotta treat 'em like a villain, shoot torpedoes never missing
They starting beef I have to feed it to the children
They be starving I'm just heating up tacquitos in the kitchen
Barely getting started I'm back on the grizzy
Slacking a little bit in the country, why I need to get back to the city
Survival tactic duffel bag in the back of my Civic
Gram of wax, a quarter sack, exactly how I'm living
That's a fact, you can take it or leave it
I may be conceited cause all I wanna do is just follow my dreams
All I gotta prove is nothing, I do it for me
But if it's something that you love, don't do it for free

Lately I been burning, fighting urges
Overworking, my mind's working
My mind's working
Heard if I grind
Patiently been versing, I found purpose
Through words when my pen's burning
My pen's burning
A book in my mind

Tell me why the world is so political
People scratching the ethics and then they act without principal
To make it in this life it takes a strong individual
Having faith is difficult when our society's cynical
It's such a big leap, I never thought I would try this
How to maneuver man I'm just looking for guidance
In the back of the school bus I would try to
Think of ways to be the greatest like MJ in the finals
Never left but I'm still back like spinal
What I spit will give you an eyeful, cause a typhoon
Overtaking any enterprise with my dudes
Cause my crew been on a new wave like Tidal
Even on a Tuesday I could get a place jumping
So please stop making assumptions
Only taking a bump when I need to sober up from being too drunk
And on that CPT is when I pull up to the function

Lately I been burning, fighting urges
Overworking, my mind's working
My mind's working
Heard if I grind
Patiently been versing, I found purpose
Through words when my pen's burning
My pen's burning
A book in my mind
