lyrics

No I’m not the laughing stock
Pass the clock
picking @ the master lock
That’s On my brain
telling my gains don’t warrant any recognition
playing the blame game 4

Pointing @ myself in the mirror
I Breathed on it and wiped
to see a little clearer
fuck you doing bro?
Pep talking myself to hit the studio and do a show 8
the passion left when Ruck died
Fuck why? Stuff gotta go like this
trust I’ve
had My fair share of losses I hear em talkin
Til stuff got awkward 12
keep ya pity
Assumptions don’t seem to fit me
lesser men have keys to cities
Maintaining integrity in the fakest part of the industy
full of silly Mes 16
Amounting to a hill of beans being spilled by a crooked friend
story of a could’ve been
No matter the context you put it in it’s wrong
So when I’m gone
play all my songs
Take you favorite vice of choice and get it on
1 for ya boy in a time they come for ya joy
Let em know you’re really happy
And suddenly they’re feeling aggy
Coulda beens

When I’ve done my rounds I’ll burn a strain with ya
It’s feeling like a game winner2
Defeated the odds thanked God for
Blessings received
naysayers pressing the keys4
Online
attacking those checking for me
While I win consecutively
It’s Nothing to giant
they’re hurt that I’ll never be compliant my own truth filled me with defiance 8
Living with being over looked long
as I’m over booked I still get plates I know the cook
They still hate I know the look all too well
On this long dark walk through hell12
The air is filled with Chem trails as I exhale
Brand new day
copped a brand new K
For those acting funny over rap money and treating me in a brand new way16
Like me going for mines took away the shine
So I move like denial took a day of mines
And since I can’t get it back
I’m going twice as hard every time I write these bars20
Express with no life regard not even for my own
Beware when you see me in my zone
Cause I’m known to keep it on me
Im here for my people only
leave me alone
The Coulda beens
