Still a Success

I got kids asking me
Why i havent blown up yet
Like whats the hold up shot
You got the sho upset
We know you got the skill
We know you got the flow
We know you got the will
We know youre rocking shows
But you aint getting airplay
We dont see you on tv
They dont have it in the stores
When im looking for your cd
I know its takes time
For someone whos not signed
But i want to see you
Put the whole world on your rhymes
And im like
You dont think
I want to see that too
Like i dont want to
Have a track done with Preem that flew
Or put a ribbon on a benz like Mom here thats you
Go from local to global
See my dreams come true
Itd be nice to have a house
By the sea thats huge
But i dont have to
Have millions to be that dude
As long as i have songs
That send chills up your neck
And my peoples
Love and respect
Im still a success so

Let them say i didnt give it my best
Let them say that i should give it a rest
Let them say im not fit for the test
Let them say what they want
Cuz i could careless
See i dont have to have mills for respect
A crib on the ocean or kicks on a lex
Or a video on a yacht looking fresh
None of it to know that im still a success

I had this vision for my life
But that image grew hazy
Not doing what i love
I got a job and it pays me
Ac in the driveway
Lugers every friday
Pretty little wife
With a baby due on my day
Am i blessed am i still a success yes
But i confess i got some things on my chest
A lot of things on my back
And even more on my mind
Somehow along the way i got caught up in the grind
And im not the one to just go out like that
Maybe forgot who i was but i can get that back
You know get back on track
And if the chips dont stack
At least i fought the good fight
Before it all goes black
So when it all goes white
And im giving my account
I wont be the one with
Talents left buried in the ground
Im tryna leave a legacy thats better than a subaru
And give it up to God and pray that he calls it suitable so

Let them say i didnt give it my best
Let them say that i should give it a rest
Let them say im not fit for the test
Let them say what they want
Cuz i could careless
See i dont have to have mills for respect
A crib on the ocean or kicks on a lex
Or a video on a yacht looking fresh
None of it to know that im still a success

They ask everyday what the word is Sev
You still doing your thing or your verses dead
See they talking about ya the streets want to know
How come you aint shining with such a sick flow
Ive been watching and waiting
I know its coming my time im being patient
See i aint standing in line just money chasing
And talking bout rap
I dont need a front page
Im a boss without that
The flows so gone
Yea its off of this map
Out of this world
My little girl brought me back
I was stuck in slow motion
Sick overdosing
Way too high off myself
I was choking
My pen went to sleep
The beat started dozing
Then i woke up realized i was chosen
Success to me is destiny
Where im at
Is right where im supposed to be so

Let them say i didnt give it my best
Let them say that i should give it a rest
Let them say im not fit for the test
Let them say what they want
Cuz i could careless
See i dont have to have mills for respect
A crib on the ocean or kicks on a lex
Or a video on a yacht looking fresh
None of it to know that im still a success
