I feel like I should drop down on my knees and look up at the sky,
Take off my hat, put my hands together and close my eyes,
And talk about all of the problems that I’m facing in this life
It’s very hard, and sometimes I feel like should cry
My stress levels never go down, just like the crime rate
It’s like your spirit when you die, it doesn’t enter graves
I still wanna make it in my life, I want the good grades
It’s been a while, man, I feel like I should climb the stage
Me and some rappers on the same book, but me, I’m on another page
Because I rap about the pain and the truth,
They just talk about the chains ‘cause they want the fame
Man, I’m on page 23, you’ll find them on the cover page
I’m busy with them locks on my both knees, I stay low-key
Sometimes, the people that you love, they leave you lonely
I’m tryna pace myself living life, take it slowly
I’m praying that my daddy sees us growing
You know, I keep claiming that I’m the king in Zastron
All the leaders are useless, I’m the one to do the job
They be sitting in offices like that’s what you voted for
A true Zastron leader must be out on the streets and more,
Giving people jobs, sponsoring learners, and fixing roads
From today, I’ll be taking the Zastron City throne
I keep claiming to be the king, that is not a joke
I care for everybody in this town, it is our home
I also claim to be the king so I can see who’s dope,
That is how I provoke,
But I don’t want no beef with anybody,
Cause beefing with me is like getting a rope for yourself,
And feel the pain on the neck like a sore throat
I am the baby of my mother and my father
I’ll never love a girl more than the way I love my brothers
I don’t think I should be expecting someone else to show me love,
As long as I’m getting love from my mother and my brothers
I feel like I should put my feelings away or destroy them
Before some people come into my life and destroy them
I’m talking ‘bout them people I don’t even know - girlfriends
I thought getting a girl for me was nice, I call them “stress-friends”
I’ve been trying to call her phone but it’s voicemail
For so many times, yo, wassup with this female?
Turn your phone off without telling me?!
Man, that shit have got me going to the gym to raise the strength of my hate
I’m ‘bout to open up this heart and get you out of it
The person that deserve to occupy is with another guy
And I can see them walking by, faces with the smiles, shit!
It would’ve been nice if it was her and I, shit!
Only if I didn’t let patience to rule my life
Cause I’ve wasted time, now this girl got my heart on ice!
Sometimes in life, things don’t go the way you planned them
Which is why you hear me on this beat doing this rap, then
This might be another realest shit I ever wrote
Some strange people almost got me losing faith and hope
Man, it happens every day, it’s getting hard to cope
Have you ever felt the feeling walking up a steep slope?
This shit is very strange, and it is real, Bra!
Still on my youngest ages, but I have really been through much
Early ages, but I can tell you more than what’s enough
Man, I should be tough and never cry but this shit is rough
I know they’re telling me to never think of giving up,
But when I’m looking up, I see them dark clouds
Even on a sunny day, I see them shadows following, they’re catching up
As if they’ve got a second chance to have activities being covered up
This be the real life
I wonder if they know what it feels like
To be alone and try to study for a better life,
Tryna change the way you live; I mean your lifestyle?
Man, this life is never nice, that’s the real life
I wonder if they know what it feels like
To be rapping bout the pain you’re going through and still rhyme?
But I pray so that God takes control of my life
