Lose Myself
(专辑: Black Sheep 3 - 2016)
I
ain't trying to lose myself to this famous shit I
be on one, thinking 'bout how I
really need to change my shit Look around, everything so shallow Waking up every day is a
battle Make anybody wanna throw the
towel Yeah, not me, looking in the
mirror, I
see The
man right in front of me say, "I got I-T" They trying to stop the
wave, I'm riding, tell 'em "godspeed" You know the
time You know that all that talk and shit made me work overtime They wait for it to happen, me, I
had to go get mine I
swear my work ethic insane and I
overgrind So when they hating on my accolades, I
never mind People talk shit 'cause it's way too easy It's much harder to apply yourself and try to beat me Yeah, so I
never ever base my happiness on the
comments I'm just working on myself, going harder like I
promised When your fuse getting low When you're smoking so much and you escape with the
dro When you're spending every night inside a
different liquor sto' When you're driving on the
highway drunk, and you know That you know better, that you know, yeah That you know better, yeah, that you know That you can't escape the
places in your mind that you go I
ain't trying to lose myself to this famous shit I
be on one, thinking 'bout how I
really need to change my shit Seem like all these people so shallow Every day, waking up is a
battle Make anybody wanna throw the
towel People talk about my life who don't know me I'ma ball on 'em, leave my legacy and dip like Kobe (swish) If you're tryna hold me down, then don't say it, gotta show me When you starting to get success, everything gets lonely Yeah, can you relate? Not another second I
could waste Some people misinform, thinking that it's only fate It's more about the
way you cooking than what's on the
plate In my momma crib on the
day I
lost my pops Now every day I
live, trying to get the
bigger knots Sometime I
be just wondering if shit is really worth it Most people I
know crumbling right underneath the
surface Still give my blood, sweat and tears, I
was broke for some years I
was caught up on them Percs, I
done buried some my peers I
done spent a
lot of nights in a
room with my fears I
been caught up in depression, I
was blaming my career But I
know better, yeah, I
know better, yeah, but you know That you can't escape the
places in your mind that you go And I
ain't trying to lose myself to this famous shit I
be fucked up, shorty, thinking how I
really need to change my shit Oh, look around everything so shallow Waking up everyday is a
battle Sometimes feel like throwing in the
towel But you know you know better Yeah, you know you know better, yeah, you know That you know you know better Yeah, you know you know better, yeah, you know Sometimes feel like throwing in the
towel Sometimes feel like all of ya'll shallow Sometimes feel like my heart hollow [Jim Carrey:] I've often said that I
wish people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame, so they could see that it's not where you're gonna find your sense of completion Uh, my accolades are spinning 'round me The
day my father passed away, the
day that music found me It's crazy how my darkest times the
ones that have allowed me To free my heart and soul and clear the
chains that really bound me I
use it as a
lesson that everything is for reason, though that reason ain't always clear I'm searching for meanings in my quiet time Conscious hours, focused on breathing I
just sold a
'script of Oxycontin to someone demons, I
think I'm crazy Think I'm spending time in the
clubs and they need to play me Think I'm fucking up on the
scenes that I
need to vacate Wait, there I
go with that swag flow again The
same shit that made some fans call me sell-out 'cause shit ain't dope to them Don't think they understand artistry is 'bout opening Your mind to different waves of experiments and I'm soaking in All things subject to change Just don't talk about me like my life purpose was in vain Like I
don't apply the
pressure to these hoes in the
game My creativity at higher levels than what I
claim Know the
path to greatness is through humility Will it be my intelligent ways, verses strength and agility They'll fuck the
world and let 'em die verse vulnerability Know that God put me here because I
got the
will in me No, my purpose here is more than just music It's 'bout self improvement, this year I'm blowing up And having major influence in this shallow fucking rap game [Jim Carrey:] My soul is not contained, within limits of my body My body is contained within the
limitlessness of my soul One unified field One unified field of nothing, dancing for no particular reason
