Birth of a Legend (feat. Vonte Picassionte)

Look, I'mma forever be a student Everyday I'm learning lessons
You want that bacon cheddar cream, dawg That's a loaded question
Tryna wake up everyday, eat breakfast, and cut a record
Some say I'm too aggressive, but fuck it, cause they respect it
Uh, the world is crazy, a hundred million MCs in it
I love the babies, but ain't tryna bring no seed in it
You try to raise them, and everybody impedes in it
They try to turn up the heat, cause they got degrees in it
What's the percentage of success in this field, hmm, a slim chance
Been one of the realest, but spent my life as an implant
Lotta people walk in the light just to get they skin tanned
Seem like when you try to do right, it'll stunt your wingspan
I'm tired of waking up early and going to work for someone else
Draining all my energy till I'm just left with nothing else
Searching for a remedy, big business is something else
Making plenty, paying me pennies like, fuck your mental health
I should throw my hat in the air and tell them, go fuck yourself
Ain't no lying down, it's time to get up and trust yourself
Easy to live your life nervous when you never been certain
Used to visit churches to worship people speaking in cursive
Living with the burden of lacking purpose, tried to be perfect
Wonder if it's worth it, shit's sweet till you get deserted
Swimming in water that's deep, ain't even scratch the surface
Destined to rinse and repeat, money, power, and murder

I'm loose again, penmanship crazy, fresh out the loony bin
The truth is saying that nigga that Hades, guess he a Judas then
I'm feeling righteous it's deadly soon as I write this
You could die behind these bars like doing life up on Rikers
Look, I had to learn to see the difference in niggas
That came with learning that I had to keep a distance from niggas
Times was getting dark, I had to flip the switch on these niggas
Yeah, and ain't no way they finna block my shine
Rollie faces had to ice my time
Cause I was aching, how them clocks flew by
Complications, but baby, it's coming right on time
I had to stand on mines
And wait for shit to blow like when you stand on mines
Yeah, shout out to niggas raised in broken homes
Watch yo mama slave, that bring a different pain
Fuck a broken bone,
no wonder why we grow up all alone
To watch a woman ache, that's just a different day
And that's all we know
It was teen clubs and guns aiming
To hear you made it out alive, that's a love language
Could be pictured on a shirt with hearts and doves painted
Yeah, now they showing you some love, ain't it
I pity fools who cup runneth over because they pitiful
Residuals don't come to niggas who sit in living room
With attitude about having nothing
But they ain't busting moves
Getting money, what you supposed to do
Hard to rule out the good from the evil
So much decension in people
You could be looking at death when you meet em'
I determined that they lesser than equal
That mean I'm greater than
Anyone who speak about me hoping they my favorite fan
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Catch a rapper by the toe
If they spit a hot 16
I'll probably let them go
Chances is they probably choke
So I throw them off the boat
They better hope them bored ass raps'll keep they ass afloat
