lyrics

Ah yeah I got's to go for mine
This my time to finally touch the sky
Thank the lord most my family still alive
cus I want em to me see me shine when I'm in my prime
I know they've already seen the dark
sides of my path but it fueled my art
I make my past a part of my heart
Always felt rock bottom was a good place to start
even though life's hard when you got an ebt card
been through struggles, still see some scars
fuck it I got bars I'm ready to see the stars
still hit up venice boulevard but actually have a car
dreams, I know you got some too
2pac's what probably got me through
and all the revolutionaries this for you
I owe you all cus your words got me in the booth
that's the truth, more pure than 200 proof
a million times realer than what you hearin on the news
wooh, life's a cartoon
Honestly thought I could just marry Erykah Badu
but right now I'm here rapping for food
tryna get me a doob cus weed gets me through
I always viewed the smoke as negative spilling outta me
so I hope you don't take my right of choice as acting cowardly

Verse 2:
Ah yeah I can see the dream
leave a legacy like B.I.G.
bout to make it for the all them OG's
worn down missing teeth too much time in these streets
go walk a venice mile just to see my lifestyle
I'm [one crazy soul] still rocking a big smile [ a crazy mother fucker]
heart of a champion with a face of a child
bout to make this whole world go wild
But right now, you steadily see my grinding
paid off the dues just wondering when my time is
to shine kid, brighter than guidance or any diamonds
I'm rhyming til I make it or at least get off the pavement
in the sun baking just hoping your relating
to the message cus these pictures are my paintings
prayers to make a Mona Lisa so that I'm the greatest
while tryna teach you lessons so you stay eluhvated
Past the point of patience so I feel I gotta slay it
line these rappers up... I'll show you they got that fake shit
I ain't gone shape shift, Imma just take this
rapping round the globe so everybody can play it
but I'll never forget the days that I spent in
the ghetto by the sea, under palm trees
rapping with a cardboard sign not hungry to eat
just munchies for success getting out of the streets, that's the dream
