Art imitates Life

I'm up in my prime
I'm out of control
Late night in the studio
I'm deprived of sleep
I'm dropping my shit
I hope they aint sleep
They hating on me
They bumping they head
They ain't slick

Pop out outside I shine
I put that shit on
Lame ass niggas they getting shit on
Voice of my street
I'm just rapping my life
I just tell what I see
Got my family by my side
They be counting on me
Yeah the pressure is high
Got to carry the load
Yeah the water is high
But we staying afloat
And when I feel down
I go straight to my notes and I rap

They told me to go the doctor
He ain't had all the answers
Let me talk to my soul
I got a new mic
And I'm thanking my friends
I'm painting pictures
With some words
Took on a break
Baby I'm back
I empty the clip
Yeah I'm really like that
I'm winning something
I'm breaking the bread
Because when you're real
It's really like that
You giving some love
You getting some love
You live by the gun
You gone die by the gun
You living by both
It ain't what it seems
One day you win
The next day it's a bill

Art imitating my life
Or life imitating my art
One thing I know
I ain't changing my heart
You playing with me
You will pay all your dirt
I've done my lil dirt
And I'm paying my dues
And I hope that I m blessed
Not just when that I snooze
Why you say that I'm hurt
I'm just seeing a bruise

There's a thing you want to know
You can see my tattoos
Yeah I m art, I m a muse
You doubting my skills
I'm amused
Baby I'm one of the great
I m one of a kind
I'm one in a million
I m dreaming of millions
I would be cool with a mill
I m chasing some peace
But I ain't leaving the dough
Money ain't all yeah it comes and go
But I rather cry in a mansion
Cause fuck I look like
Shedding tears on a pavement

Art imitating my life
Or life imitating my art
No way that I'm changing my heart
I ain't selling my soul
I ain't selling myself
I might drop my pride
Hope you ain't doing me wrong
I only drop when I care
I dont play with my worth
I done played with enough
I m one the greats
I m one of a kind
I m one in a million
I m dreaming bout millions
I would be cool with a million
So know that I m scheming
