Never Been Picked First Never had First Pick/ Always Felt good but you never felt perfect/ Then you give the most love but you never feel worth it/ How you give the most love but you never felt worth it/ Nah You never felt worth it/ Funny how the weather in the game change/ Watch a nigga fall, then you springing into action, then the summer come you never get the same thing/ But you know who we invest in is just a reflection I guess I don't mean the same thing to them as they mean to me. I know you second guess yourself Keep checking mirrors for somebody else Hope you might see something different but baby listen I promise If Nobody else in this whole world love you baby I do Baby I do (x4) You gotta know that you matter (x3) I Gotta Know that I Matter? Do I even matter? I gotta Matter I really matter man I got a purpose Don't know what it is? But it gotta be worth it Cause Satan Keep shooting and I keep on Dodging these shots Like I'm batman no robin man we bout that action boss Lynch in this bitch but I'm tired I'll never lie Sometimes I wonder why I even try Will I inspire Will I build my empire Would I even do this if my mom was alive? Man I got a lot of questions I be on my Usher though These are my confessions I just want this for the ones that never had no help Every thing you had to get you had to get it for yourself Lord Knows (x4) I done Prolly seen it all Hieroglyphics on the wall Painting pictures of my past We deserve to have it all (x2) I know I second guess myself Keep checking mirrors for somebody else Hope I might see someone different but baby listen I promise If Nobody else in this whole world love me baby I do

If I Say Imma do it then I do it This aint just the new wave it's a movement They say I look like I was sweating bullets but If I'm sweating them the bullets that I shoot with Im a mufuckin fan? Nah I came for it all Yup But yall can't wait to see me fall No But on these bars dominique dawes yup The curtains drawn hold yall applause oh yall should (x3) watch me work They Don't want me eating but I promise I eat I can hear you talking but I really don't see you I been in myzone since I was born yeah thats me Thats why I won't make it home until the sun comes out I been hustling every day And thats gon count for something Studied all the greats and thats gon count for something This is more than for the glory its gon count for something But you gon pay me what you owe me though that aint for nothing nah New Day Same Bullshit Like it won't stop But no wars ever won without loss I had Been through so much shit I must've forgot My poppa told me I'm running this bitch before I could walk Oh I remember where I been aint to happy where I am but I know where I'm going Yeah I heard what you said, Idle threats, all the bets, aint no furniture moving though The boy still standing with the same fam that was with me back when we aint have nothing Its the creme de la creme all we want is the win after win after win after win we like oh Must be doing something right staying home on them summer nights put that work in I know you like, baby tight, she be like, is you coming home soon? No boo, not until the money right, true, nobu anytime Soul food every night, whole foods budget right, young boy living life, every day a different fight, but no great things happen over night so I'm like yall should (x3) watch me work They Don't want me eating but I promise I eat I can hear you talking but I really don't see you I been in myzone since I was born yeah thats me Thats why I won't make it home until the sun comes out I been hustling every day And thats gon count for something Studied all the greats and thats gon count for something This is more than for the glory its gon count for something But you gon pay me what you owe me though that aint for nothing nah

I aint got a 401k but all of my friends do/ Haven't opened up a savings but I truly intend to/ This growing up thing happened way too fast man I think I missed the class on that but It seem everybody else finally figured it out And I'm still staring at the same door so lost at how I could got so behind/ everyone when I'm in the same line/ at the same time/ man sometimes it feels like the wrong side of 25/ the wrong side of 25/ Can't believe how fast time really flies Swear I don't know how I survived/ I did so much dumb shit I can't recall it/ But some how I came still out solid/ hit the kk/ Chugged some bottles/ popped two mollys/ hella coughing /barely walking/ it's too often/ wtf am I doing ? Am I just waiting sitting here waiting for things to get better? Even though I swear I really no better. I gotta get on it, get on it, get on it, get on it, get on it like. Grinding Grinding is all that I know How I'm boosie but too boughie to do me worried on who's at my show On some serious shit does this ever get easier though Cause I can not see myself quitting it's shine or die trying with my luck it's probably both Watching my friends start to pass me that gap gettin wide like I'm backing up you ever wonder if your dreams and reality will actually ever start matching up Only you know when your move is right Find your own love cause that love is light Stop complaining/ never settle/ fuck the stars and reach for heaven/ fall on blessings man WTF Am I doing?

about

Fear kills every dream before death ever does.
I haven't found my voice yet, but I'm working through it. Stay with me til I do. This is just a piece of the puzzle.
