No Scholarships

(album: This Can't Be It - 2020)

Tryna figure out what it look like on the other side
Never had the will to miss the mark, that's the other guys
Every statement that I make, they seem to wanna undermine
Yet every level up they make seem to sit right under mine
I don't even look sometimes, things that I don't wanna find
Odds are like a lot to 1, heard that stuff a hundred times
Seen it spawn a thousand ways, never seen it phase me once
They just wanna wait in line, all they do is laying up
I've seen a lot of "no's", I've seen a lot of growth
I've seen what it looks like when everybody wants to know
I've seen a lot of people change, I guess it's hard to be the same
Going live on Saturday, dang I feel like Tina Fey
Chefing up, it's me and Cakes
How you know it's Easy Bake?
Creating just to keep me sane
Swear it's in my DNA
Elon with the give me space
Never seen a penny safe
Gravity'll force the speed
How much impact can we make?

You don't make it easy on me
But you never thought you did
Don't hand out no scholarships
No love for the honest system
You don't make it easy on me
But you never thought you did
Don't hand out no scholarships
No love

People tell me if I rap how you wanted, I'd blow up
I just want some thought and your conscience to show up
Once upon a time I decided to rap like I wanted
Around that time I blew the speakers inside my Corolla
Now everybody faking smile, they paint like the Joker
How many pictures can you take and still savor the moment?
I told myself that never what I make be mediocre
I'm doing alright so far and I'mma keep it going
It's hard to find an artist writing bout what's real
They writing bout some stuff that they think you wanna hear
Then they can't find inspiration cause they faking the material
So they only get a hit song and then fall off in a year

You don't make it easy on me
But you never thought you did
Don't hand out no scholarships
No love for the honest system
You don't make it easy on me
But you never thought you did
Don't hand out no scholarships
No love
