Own Appeal

I never asked to be born and death's no question

The still still shinin' off the same old lessons

Then why does life feel like an educated guess

My thoughts like meals, I'm a sucker for the seconds

Impressions' got a lot of us stressin'

But how we all perceived is more about reflection

And the reception's warm that I receive

Which leads me to believe these hoes like what I heave

Tall women in heels, tour money and deals

Man, off the no bull I like all money for real

More time aboard and less time at home

Less time for broads and more time in zones, yeah

I'm in it while flyin out of another one

This a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one

Could the dream feel realer than it ever been?

And I was aiming high like a **** being president

The possibilities of that are seeming pretty evident

So bein' self employed is now seeming like a definite

But staying that way is what I'm F'ing with

And like minded people be the only ones I'm messing with

Ayo, this so real

Not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still

Livin' in the moment got a hopeless feel

But the feeling in itself got its own appeal

I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance

The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets

Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking

Not sure what I'm putting my faith in

But I'ma be alright

I'm tryna get mine in this life time

The afterlife is much further in pipeline

I'm inclined to believe that but truth is

Death fo' death, any moment is the right time

So I live everyday like it's my last

But I plan for tomorrow as if I will never pass

A Pharaoh on the subway, who never had dreams of jets

But fell asleep on the runway, I just know that one day

That anything I needed I could mold

Get everything you want, it ain't always good for the soul

A mix of self worth, some help, a little control

And I don't know the rest, good as mine is your guess

The recipe ain't the best to make it through is our quest

And if you choose to accept, the meaning of life is yes

'Cause only God knows, those of us in the flesh, get the privilege of test

And some will fail and some will pass

We all get the same grade though when we run the path

How you grade yourself is the mark that will matter most

To separate the heart of the strong and the battered folks

Have a dose

Ayo, this so real

Not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still

Livin' in the moment got a hopeless feel

But the feeling in itself got its own appeal

I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance

The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets

Excited by the risk and the chances I'm takin'

Not sure what I'm putting my faith in

But I'ma be alright

Ayo, shit so real

Kill shit to live, ****, schizo feel

I got a hunger for knowledge and I miss no meals

I stay high off life and I miss no pill

I'm addicted to the thrill of walking along the edge

Not know what lies ahead but always knowing the deal

I'm good with my decisions, the set backs and gains

It's all apart of the game, I'm ready to spin the wheel

Whatever is in store, I'm ready for it, for sure

With the attitude of wealth an the gratitude of the poor

The balance is the challenge and I sit so still

Between callus and analysis but this no frills, I'm off the chain

Been that way since slaves to Flav from

'93 'till Infinity, I'm stated in ways

That's etched in stone, the age where we marked ourselves

And still all about the music, I don't monitor plays

I don't monitor hits and I don't monitor clicks

I monitor the snare drum and the bottom of kicks

Is anybody left that still fuck with this true shit?

Well, let me hear you scream over top of this CRU shit

Ayo, this so real

Not knowing what's ahead but I'ma go there still

Livin' in the moment got a hopeless feel

But the feeling in itself got its own appeal

I know, I'm attracted to the lights in the distance

The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets

Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking

Not sure what I'm putting my faith in

But I'ma be alright
