lyrics

I've invested so much into this rap shit,
Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice...

all so I could change the planet with my intelligence
only to hate my choices, and irrelevance
shoulda went to college, or joined the marines
now I live with my mom, and rock some old jeans
that i've had since before '09, I shoulda graduated
with honors, but I was dumb and thinkin I had to make it
old friends lookin at me with pity
cop a bottle of whatever for an excuse to act shitty
talkin to myself "he didn't crack did he?"
cynical side of me at least got the stomach to laugh with me
cancer knife or a gun, I don't know how to go
cock back to the eyeball watch it explode
hard to love because I'm harder to know
(don't worry, I think it's all apart of the show)

I've invested so much into this rap shit,
Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice...

they say sleep is the cousin of death
thats why I wake up in a sweat, clutchin my chest
in my dreams I feel a cold hand touchin my neck
eyes blood shot lack of sleep, I guess I'm a wreck
pray to god, but he don't want to hear it
he like "you got my blessings but it's up to you to find the spirit"
balls in my court, and it's up to me to work it
thru the pain even though the outcome might not be worth it
can't focus on the verdict, look to the performance
but the inner struggle for originality is what torments
I feel I can deliver a strong message of importance
but in order to get that light I need to become a conformist
that's how I, push my values to the back
replay my tracks like "is that how you wanna rap?"
trying to be original and not too complex
overthinking it, until its all just nonsense

I've invested so much into this rap shit,
Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice...

how many time's I gotta make it clear
I can't wait no more I need my break this year
2014, Don't Fuck Up Our Beats 6
it ain't hard to tell, that it aint no secret
all my eggs in a nest, get a deal or die
reachin for the stars until I feel the sky

I've invested so much into this rap shit,
Thousands of dollars and countless hours of practice...
