Bud

I ate cereal with killers
Didn't grow up to be a serial Killa
Hooped it up with NBA stars
Never grew up to play professional ball
Rapped with certified legends in the game
But got critiqued when
I put it in the back of my name
So many ideas they tried to kill
Making fun of struggle raps
Believing rappers rhymes is real
But we lie as much as y'all do
Still
Hoping one day some of it turn out to be true
To find a way out
We do what we gotta do
However long you live a lie
Only so long you can deny the truth

You can't deny the truth

Wasn't born on a bed of roses
Just a clear vision and a better focus
While they live luxurious we eating leftovers
Left us to die while they groom the team of next soldiers
To put they bodies up for sacrifice
Religion primed us how to navigate the afterlife
But I rather stay, focused on earth times
Balance my deeds to make up for my worst crimes yea
I put in work for mines

So much shame that we bury with us
But that's the pride that we carry with us
That shit a have you acting very foolish
I took hits, like Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis
It will have question what you thought was real
Got into a brawl down in Charlottesville
I was just looking for a good time
Fly chicks around looking for a good find
But any day can be your last in this
And an innocent trip can turn hazardous
If the body's the vehicle who's the passenger?
And where does he go
After they close the aperture?
Am I connect to the infinite?
Are these lucid moments only limited?

Middle of nowhere I found myself
Was adorned with many notches around my belt
Scarred up and charged up
Ready to go
With my sights to the stars
When I'm setting a goal
Hitching a ride on this planet as it circle the sun
And we won't stop till the purpose is done

Never forget where you from
