I’m stuck in this prison and need a conjugal visit,
Sometimes it is what it is, but sometimes, sometimes it just isn’t,
Sometimes you suffer way too much and wear the weight of decisions,
You didn’t make or had to make because the way was just hidden,
Sometimes it’s easier to stay where you’re sitting, that’s what I’m at now,
Can’t remember how it got this way, or when I sat down,
Backed down, changed my focus, fuck it I’m back now,
Doing what I’m s’posed to do…
I’m trying to be a star,
I’m trying to light up the dark,
I’m trying to rep my city,
Trying to make my mark as a star,
I dunno if I’ll get that high,
But I; won’t, can’t know that unless I try to be a star,
No I dunno if I’ll get that high,
But I; won’t, can’t know that unless I try to,
Be the dude with the dues paid, dudes pay homage to,
Cooler than Kool-Aid and brighter than a comet too.
Can’t stop or I’ll die, like a shark,
I’ll adapt, I’m adept; I’m a dart in the dark,
I’m alone though, close to crazy, like a stone’s throw,
Broke as a joke, wanna make it on my own so I’m,
Struggling to come up, I’ve got insane skills,
But my name kills promo, so the game’s on slow-mo,
And the fame’s on pause, I wonder will I get it?
When I know the only answer is, I won’t the way I’m headed,
Written four hundred songs, haven’t blown, not blowing,
But, I’m getting dough; just it’s not enough to stop owing,
Wonder where am I going? When will I arrive?
Would I know it if I got there, can I win while I’m alive?
So much strife, all I do is strive, all I do is I,
Gotta get the hang of takeoffs, then all I’ll do is fly,
Til then, all I’ll do is flow, all I do is grow,
All I’ll do is grind; trying to find the glow
I’m trying to be a star,
I’m trying to light up the dark,
I’m trying to rep my city,
Trying to make my mark as a star,
I dunno if I’ll get that high,
But I; won’t, can’t know that unless I try to be a star,
No I dunno if I’ll get that high,
But I; won’t, can’t know that unless I try to,
Be the dude with the dues paid, dudes pay homage to,
Cooler than Kool-Aid and brighter than a comet too.
I don’t want to live down here, if I know, I can’t fly awayyy, o-oh
Got so many thoughts, but I really don’t know what to sayyy, no-o,
I don’t want to live down here, if I know, I can’t fly awayyy, o-oh
Got so many thoughts, but I really don’t know what to sayyy, no-o
I’m trying to blaze a path, to see my city run,
I been a Lo-City legend, I have had my fun,
It’s time to spread my wings; fly up next to the sun,
Learn a few things and shine brighter than it’s ever done,
Cause I am never blank, should I say never nil?
I feel I’m always sick, I am forever ill,
Done this shit forever, but I feel I’m getting better still,
Think theycanbeatme, never could and never, ever, ever will,
I am just obsessive and in possession of better skills,
They are just contestants, I’m incandescent; the rest are swill,
- Gimme a record deal and let me light it up,
Cause I could use the dough, my pockets light as fuck,
Cause I abuse the dro, I know, I know, I might go nuts,
But I think I’d be worse without and trust me being psycho sucks,
I’m trying to be a lot of things, but perfect isn’t one of them,
I truly think my purpose lies in sonning them…
I’m trying to be a star,
I’m trying to light up the dark,
I’m trying to rep my city,
Trying to make my mark as a star,
I dunno if I’ll get that high,
But I; won’t, can’t know that unless I try to be a star,
No I dunno if I’ll get that high,
But I; won’t, can’t know that unless I try to,
Be the dude with the dues paid, dudes pay homage to,
Cooler than Kool-Aid and brighter than a comet too.
