Big Leagues

I don't rap I just channel through the space time continuum
In this game bein nice is the bare minimum
That's why I'm killen em
I be beating tracks up like they owe me money
If you act funny we could get hilarious
There's no comparing this sauce original recipe
All my heroes in jail or they under 6 ft
That's the life when you playing in the big leagues
Follow regulation never move with hesitation
Mediation Arbitration might just make you lose your life
Keep your circle tight cuz people ain't moving right
I was born for this I never had to choose the life
It always chose me
I just want the freedom from the proceeds
Cop some property somewhere lowkey and grow weed
That's the American dream

When I was 6 years old
I thought the rap game was glitter and gold
But I quickly learned it was nothing like the things I was told
In order to blow up you gotta blow a record exec
Or just give up your soul
And these rappers feeling pressure they cant do it alone
I've seen artist's taken advantage of chewed up and thrown
On the streets with nobody and nowhere to call home
This shit used to be about your heart story and flow
And your passion and skill
But today no label wanna build with you or even offer a deal
Unless you got a rapper image they could pimp for some mills
It makes me think if I will ever make it
Cuz I'm not willing to sacrifice everything that's sacred
All I got is resent for the industry and hatred
What's money and fame if my spirits vacant?
We used to dream of gettin big those days in the basement
Now I see through every rapper I don't care what they name is
I wanna hear where the pain is
Tired of hearing you brag about the same shit
All I'm saying
If we do this we gone do it ourselves
If we do it we gone do it ourselves
Don't give up everything you got just to get screwed up and shelved

Never let anybody tell you how to be
Live your own life
Times a concept but at the same time its definitively limited
Make your own blueprints
This is your experience
Why you living someone else's?
I be swimmin on sonics I'm on my Michael phelps
Pay attention to who's cappin and who's crying for help
Would you rather spread the wealth or eat by yourself?
The imaginations heaven and hell
Enter the metaverse
For lack of better words
What's cash in the age of the digital dash?
Dollars for data and the system that contains
The algorithm that profits from consumers every day
F-B-I-G-T-W-I-T-T Tik Tok and the IT teams
We now living in a world where we cant live without these things
