Contemplatin' (Radio Edit)

Yeah
Just some things I need to get off my chest
'Cause right now
Life's gotten all kinds of crazy n' s--t
You know what I'm sayin'?

Look
I be contemplatin' my life choices at 19 years old
By the time I'm done, I'm grown old
Living this f--kin' fantasy life that I fabricate in my mind
Til the end of time, is all I know
All my peers have grown up, workin' their jobs
And I just stick with my dreams, making sure it ain't lost
I be holding onto my childish innocence
While my teenager counterparts be getting intimate
This reality got me all kinds of f--ked up
Like that time when I came up with "Shut Tha Ph--k Up"
Now these kids be looking up to me, like "what's up?"
Now I gotta set an example for these youngstas
By putting them on the right path in life like I did
When I grabbed the mic, then time passes by
Then I remember writing rhymes at the slide
And chilling with the one that's by my side past the night

You know what I'm sayin'?

And now
I be on the brink of falling into addictions
But I've always gotta be strong, never be inching
Toward the right itch to be itching 'cause before
I know it it'll be my own f--king grave I be digging
Gotta be better than that, and I know that's a matter of fact
This s--t is bigger than rap, don't call it cap
This ain't the Cat in the Hat, you rappers going out
Your own way to play with them gats and think you're all that
Truth be told, it's not a f--kin' game to be played
As if we're jogging our history through memory lane
I'm strategizing like my name was Emory Tate
'Cause I be losing faith that someone does that ever again
I'm exaggerating but this s--t is serious still
You might just take it all as it is 'cause clearly you will
Ponder on a decision that affects your longevity
Whether you come up living, dead or mentally ill

You know what I'm sayin'?

Yeah
Sometimes, this world is like a maze to be conquered
And for those who want to make it out
You gotta go out there and make it happen
And come out as the best version of yourself
And as always
Until next time
