(PIL)
They say music is therapeutic,
I stare at this computer trying to write shit that is righteous, maybe start a movement.
Started self-improvement, man I looked into the mirror,
Didn't like what I was seeing, just a selfish human being that was living an illusion.
Came to the conclusion that this life ain't worth losing,
Igniting my fuse deconstructed the confusion.
Put miles on my shoes while you dudes were out schmoozing,
man fuck it, I'm boozing.
So this is an occasion. I'm into celebration,
From a click that would accelerate the nation and gained persuasion.
And a game that came to us, at first it was imitation,
Every single verse was filled with thirst and innovation.
Working on this album, giving pablum to my newborn,
Saving for education, real shit I got to do for him.
No imagination, this is love in its true form,
Putting cold bottles of milk in a hot pot til it's lukewarm.
They said rap isn't for you, kid.
Viewed it as a passion, a distraction to get through shit.
Amusement led to cash and then the cash was spent on juice and
Now I'm used to getting smashed and I'm asking where the loot went.
Blueprints in the trash, nothing lasts except the music,
Few did what the crew did.
Undisputed legacy but everything gets ruined,
When you're too big for the village still enormous to the land,
Too bad we build the fortress on sand, God Damn.
I Wonder how it would've ran If I was shown the way it should run,
They doubt I understand so I was told to make them look dumb.
And stay out of what you can or you gon always play the hoodlum,
It's tough to be a man when you know you ain't a good one.
Shit, at this age what is it worth to be content with,
Hitting the stage and printing shirts.
When your friends is getting engaged and giving birth,
And you're in bed just suppressing your rage with Gin & Percs.
Can't reverse the hands of time, can't rewind, can't re-do it,
My liver, heart and mind has been polluted.
Stupid as it was to let it get this far behind, I pursue it,
I guess It's cuz I find it therapeutic.
