Own Appeal

I never asked to be born and death's no question
The sun's still shining off the same old lessons
Then why does life feel like an educated guess and
My thoughts are like meals, I'm a sucker for the seconds
Impressions got a lot of us stressing
but how we are perceived is more about a reflection

And the reception's warm that I receive
Which leads me to believe these hoes like what I heave
Tall women in heels, tour money and deals
Off the no bull I like all money for real
More time abroad and less time at home
Less time for broads and more time in zones

Yeah, I'm in it while flying out of another one
This a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one
'Cause the dream feel realer than it ever been
And I was aiming high like a nigga being president

The possibilities of that are seeming pretty evident
So being self-employed is not seeming like a definite
But staying that way is what I'm F'ing with
And like-minded people be the only ones I'm messing with

Yo this so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still
Living in the moment, got a hopeless feel
But the feeling in itself got its own appeal
I know I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'ma be alright

I'm trying to get mine in this lifetime
The afterlife is much further in pipeline
I'm inclined to believe that but truth is
That for death any moment is the right time
So I live everyday like it's my last
But I plan for tomorrow as if I will never pass

A Pharoah on the subway
You never dreamed of jets but fell asleep on the runways
I just knew that one day, that anything I needed I could mold
Get everything you want, it ain't always good for the soul
A mix of self worth, some help, a little control
And I don't know the rest, good as mine is your guess

The recipe it ain't the best, to make it though is our quest
And if you choose to accept, the meaning of life is yes
'Cause only God knows, those of us in the flesh get the privilege to test
Some will fail, some will pass

We all get the same grade though when we run the path
How you grade yourself is the mark that matters most
To separate the heart of the strong and the battered folks
Have a dose

Ayo this so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still
Living in the moment, got a hopeless feel
But the feeling in itself got its own appeal
I know I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'ma be alright

Ayo, shit so real, I kill shit to live nigga, schizo feel
I got a hunger for knowledge and I miss no meals
I stay high off life and I miss no pills
I'm addicted to the thrill of walking along the edge
Not knowing what lays ahead but always knowing the deal

I'm good with my decisions, the setbacks and gains
It's all a part of the game, I'm ready to spin the wheel
Whatever is in store, I'm ready for, for sure
The attitude of wealth and the gratitude of the poor
The balance is the challenge and I sit so still
Between callous and analysis but this no frill

I'm off the chain, been that way since slaves to Flav
From '93 'til infinity I'm slated in ways
That's etched in stone
The age where we market ourselves
I'm still all about the music, I don't monitor plays

I don't monitor hits and I don't monitor clicks
I monitor the snare drum and the bottom of kicks
Is anybody left that still fuck with this true shit?
Well let me hear you scream over top of this CRU shit

Ayo this so real, not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still
Living in the moment, got a hopeless feel
But the feeling in itself got its own appeal
I know I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
Not sure what I'm putting my faith in but I'ma be alright
