exhale

Everybody thinkin they got it, but all I see is robotics
If you make a way from the jump, rappers are hoppin
Wonder if its really real—all the love that youre giving me
Do you really want a friend or are you scared to be enemies (ugh!)
Do this on my own in a pen and no label
I do the horse work, yeah, nothing is stable
Demons wearing these halos, dont believe every angel
Nothings fate til its fatal
Flip this script be the staple, yeah
Let me keep it real with ya
Say you the top pick
But you aint the topic of discussion
Buncha rappers talk a lot of nonsense
Which is funny, I cant even understand it
Man, I wanna know what happened
Look what raps is turning into

No skills with a beat that they feed you
Sixteen-year-old kids feeding into, see-through
Ill be there before you ever see me be you, yeah
Doesnt matter what I say or what I write about
All that really matters are the values that I write about
If youre saying things that you dont know of
Ima call you out
Dont you say you know me off a couple things you heard about, yeah
Tryna end makin ends meet
Im tryna write the simple things that you cant see
You start accepting defeat when you care more about your feet
Than any journey you see and all the steps that you need
What could I paint the world when they dont see the picture?
If you got what you wanted, do you think that it will fix ya? (Nah)
Never knowing what you had until you lose it and it hits ya
Never know what you can reach until you take a shot and miss it
Ima always do me, only time I really lose when I lose sleep
Salivating when I hear a beat, lets eat
Oh, you dont see the wave? Lets see!

I use to hit up every blog waiting like, 'Oh well...'
Had a flash drive, took it to a concert
Threw it on stage with my email
If youre gonna fail, might as well do it yourself
I had nobody, no connects, no money
If its me in a room, yeah, nobody saw me
So I did it myself, now everybody wants something
Saying to us 'See, man, I said it was coming!'
That kid from the west side wrote his feelings
Now they feel him worldwide
Seeing minds open all wide
If you want the work, yeah, we open all night
Night shift game, up the game all night
Exhale
Whats a wave when the whole team sails?
Friends come when things sell
Is it real? I cant tell
Is it real? I cant tell
Yeah
I got all this anger inside of my mind and
Im sure that its making me blind
I look at the things that I have in my life
Everything that I bottle inside
I take it all in but I cant let it go
Why does the road always feel like its home?
Say Ill collapse while they stay and they roam
Anger thats in me, I need to let it go

I know I need to let it go
I gotta let it go, but I cant
All this hunger that is in me, yeah
I know you say you get me, even though I know you cant
I know I need to let it go, I gotta let it go, but I cant
All this hunger that is in me, yeah
I know you say you get me, even though I know no one can

I think you got it confused, Im not here to make friends
I know rappers that hate, I get love from their fans
And you want my attention with things youve been saying
How many times youre gonna write to me?
Huh? Im just saying!
I tried to be nice by not saying a word
Tried to be nice when your feelings are hurt
Could care less what you gotta say
This for anyone who really thinks theyre worth writing a verse
Im not into the beef or the games
Everybodys got something to say
Everyday theres some kid getting shot in the rain
Im not wasting my time with you lames
Couldnt care less who you think that I sound like
Im looking for God, you can have all the limelight
This music is more than just feeding my pride
Fans always sayin Im saving their lives

When Im all in your head, yeah, we gettin ahead
Killing this is a dream, let me put that to bed
Want a chain and a crown, cause they say I got next
Wanna press me with lines but Im not so impressed
Look how swift the pen is
Leave a dent in the game, Im the dentist
Peace and love, but anybody can get it
Ace among men, Im the menace
My lifes inside these lines, thats a life sentence (woo!)

I know none of you thought I was good enough
Youre listening now like Ileveled up (Leveled up!)
Youre feeling it now, put a finger up (Put em up!)
Adolescence to adult lessons
Who really cares about any message? (No one!)
No one cares about feelings or how youre feeling
Getting high like every second
I write music with meaning for people that need it
Dont need your approval, in fact you can keep it (Yeah)
Dont need any blog or recognition
I felt the victory way before the vision (Yeah)
I believed in myself when nobody would
I stood in a place where nobody stood
Dont act like you know me even if you did
Everyday is another book

They say its all in due time
Well aint it funny how its over due?
So ahead of my time, every goal I set is a déjà vu
Yeah
Tour bus, Ima load that
**** lines only time when I roll back
Gotta come to the bay where its all at
Everybody got a dream but they sell that, yeah
No one got it, no one never did
All I ever wanna do is live
Every diamond that I get
I did it for the ones living delicate
I said
No one got it, no one never did
All I ever wanna do is live
Every diamond that I get
I got it from the pressure of keeping it in
Exhale
