Me vs. Me

I had to step out of the loop so I could try to find some peace
Low-key, I think that they fell asleep
It's okay though, let them catch up on they Zzz's
When they done, I'ma catch them up to speed
Boy, I feel like Lil Wayne when it was 500 degrees
Cause I'ma turn it up as hot as it could be
But it ain't no competition, it's just me versus me
Real talk, nah, you ain't gotta believe
I'm a different kind of breed, I keep my heart out on my sleeve
Cause low-key, everybody needs relief
So instead of thinkin' and feelin' like you are obsolete
Remember that there's no limit to what you can achieve
Even though nothing's ever guaranteed
You already beatin' the odds, bein' able to breathe
So show em what you got, let the lion off the leash
Yo, I'm about to drop this heat
You want that work, I got that fire
But it ain't goin' for the cheap
You more so payin' for my mind
The vision can't be cloned or leaked
I felt like I was the AI
My inner dreamin' GPT
Endless growth, forever learnin'
be the best that I could be
I took my stress and set it free, was holdin' weight that I can't keep
I was prisoned in my mind with no clear date of release
Way to many tribulations, trials, tragedies, defeats
Mixed with takin' risks on a gift, this shit ain't for the weak
I just observe, I barely speak unless I'm tearin' up a beat
Like I would do on a field until I'm wearin' out the cleats
All this pain it brought some wisdom I'm just flowin' like the breeze
It more felt than it gets seen, almost feels like it's a dream
Life moves hella fast, it's hard to blink
Oftentimes I wonder what it really means
I've been tryin' to connect the missin' links
Had to find a balance between the laughs and the screams
I swear life is guaranteed to get extreme
Both in the good and bad, it's just the way it be
I wanted to give it up more times than you believe
So to be survivin' through it, know you stronger than you think
I got a lot of empathy for anything that has a soul
Cause everybody gotta eat, anyone who's in need of love
Cause everybody weeps
Ain't nobody got it perfect
Most times it's the furthest thing from sweet
It's just bitter, ain't no treats
Big Sean this shit get deep
But I come from a different D, 5280 baby
I'm used to terrains that get steep
Where it gets colder than a blizzard
Turns to fire in the heat
But if you never climb your climates
Will you ever reach your peak?

That's why it's Me vs. Me
