lyrics

I'm high, explore the world with open eyes and I
stay on the track and try to focus on my grind no lies
I use the deepest part of my soul to write and escape
from all the stress that keeps me tryin' to confide in my mind
I've got so much on my plate, so much bottled up hate
I'm not willing to wait to obligate or take myself seriously
because I'm on the brink of lettin' this leaky boat
that I've rowed for so long, sink
I'm in my own world, gonna roll my own way
Ya'll just downstream left with no brains
Mumble rappers, I can't even understand what you saying
Radio today don't understand what they playin'
The media secretly feeds the slaves day-by-day
Just tryin' to sit back, eat my noodles in peace, and pay
all my dues, and do what I can to make my ends meet
I'm on the edge, I've been on the edge
since back in the day

(Chorus)
I'm not like you
I'm never gonna be, I'm never gonna be
a wannabe like you, no no no

I strive for indifference, make a rise for the distance
I keep my eyes on the mission, gonna keep my mind on a vision
Wish I could talk and you'd listen
but you too off on your business
I got that fire you missin', and if its workin' they dissin' uh
Not tryin' to call out anyone, I just think its pathetic
Ya'll ladies now days think its cute, but you'll probably regret it
What drives a man to wear skinny jeans, dye his hair, and dread it?
And try to mumble on the microphone with auto-tune
There, I said it
Ain't gonna be like that, I've gotta pave a sweeter path
even if I have to lose some cash
Gonna have to put it in my truck for gas
because I'm needing to make it down the road to dump my trash
I'm never gonna be like anyone, gonna make my own class
Gotta coach my own game, gonna deliver this to the mass
Bases loaded, home run, just wait for the clash
Leave to dream and send me to outer space like I'm a star
I'll be burnin' it up and settin' fire to these bars, uh

This is only the beginning, I'm barely startin' to grow
and I'm barely startin' to know how it feels to be human
When you've been alone in the dark for so long
Its time to get in the flow
and show them how we roll from New Mexico
