From the Heart

You want me change don't ya?
You want me to fall victim to Hollywood ways don't ya?
You think that it's strange don't ya?
That I keep my moral compass held tight on my waist
And won't waste my voice and my talent on glorifying disgraceful culture
I'm not finna make a song for her ass to shake to
I'm not finna catfish online with some fake news
I'm not finna put my beliefs aside and negotiate all my pride
And follow bullshit waves just to breakthrough
Bro who would I be if I wasn't me I mean really me
I fell victim to it all before yeah silly me
But never again will I bend and be who I think you want me to be
Cause I think blowing up is a possibility
I've been running from myself a while I got good agility
Dodging glances in the mirror worried I'm not still Ameen
Give a fuck if you feelin me bro I got God's will in me
God willing I win, but shit until then

I keep my head to the sky, and my feet on the ground
I am who I am, ain't no faking it now
And if I end up falling like the rain from a cloud
Just know that if I always did it my way then I'm proud
With my kicks on the grass, and my face to the stars
I'm just walking my path, I'm not playing a part
And if the world chews me up and spits me out and doesn't care what I'm about
Just know it came straight from the heart

I was always a little different from people around me
Something about me
I called it unique wore that on my sleeve proudly
The pressure started to surround me
People's opinion shit that was trending
I started doubting my thoughts got a little cloudy
I really considered putting my gift to the side
Like a surprise
The music didn't feel the same I couldn't figure out why
I finally get it though the problem is I tried too hard
And when it's really from your heart you hardly have to try
I let the, internet fool me validated by likes
Clouded my, vision of art and aggravated my sight
I wrote the, hottest project I ever made in my life
Will it flop if it don't go viral I'm afraid that it might
The pressures of being an artist in an oversaturated game
Watching everybody pull a gimmick off to make a name
Made me wanna try to do and say the same
But that ain't the way so as I pave my way

I'ma keep my head to the sky, and my feet on the ground
I am who I am, ain't no faking it now
And if I end up falling like the rain from a cloud
Just know that if I always did it my way then I'm proud
With my kicks on the grass, and my face to the stars
I'm just walking my path, I'm not playing a part
And if the world chews me up and spits me out and doesn't care what I'm about
Just know it came straight from the heart
It came straight from the heart
