Just the way it be like, just the way it be like
I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go (don't go)
I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go (don't go)
Yo, my mother watches sunsets sometimes her son's set in his ways
Sun rising through the dark night like he battling Bane
Maintaining my sanity need another plan
The hood ain't have a hero since Meteor Man
But here I stand, understanding the things I'm standing under
In a world as cold as winter, I'm just tryna to get to summer
Kick rhymes like a punter, if you hatin' take a number
Sucka nigga shut the fuck up, pipe down like a plumber
I'm just trying to raise the bar like it's one of my seeds
Funny how I lose sleep when I'm chasing my dreams
My mother asked the other day if I'm making enough
I know they pay attention, really is that paying enough?
But ma, I got this date with this girl and her name's Destiny
Ever since It Was Written been writing our names legibly
Sound better together I swear it could be melody
And if we have a daughter I swear her name would be Legacy
Yo, roses are red, violets are violet
Lying there on my mind just like Linus
I think I need to vent
I'm stuck somewhere between where I wanna be and never where I'll be again
Highs and the lows and the lows in the highs
Sometimes I'm staying grounded but I'm reaching for skys
I'm tryna to wake up the truth in a bed full of lies
So word to the wise or whether you windsor knot its a ties
Soul searching like I'm shoe shopping with few options
With no one to assist me I wish that I knew Stockton
With time moves faster than Sonic
And a picture's worth a thousand words drawing a blank it stay in silent
Sometimes I need reminders why I bother to rap
Then I think back to cats who only father is rap
A deadbeats, but you niggas is Lou, I'm Uncle Phil
Gotta give them something real cause if I don't who will?
