It's been a minute since I've taken a break from this position
I've been building and building reaching out into the distance
Visionary on a mission, I rap so y'all can listen
With the willingness to act and advance with lyricism
It's been rougher than rough, yeah the going gets tough
But it's nothin' to me if they showing me love, Of course
It's been a struggle trying to get through the mud
The force behind the troubles makes me want to give up
So what's the deal, while I'm here, let me get this clear
Thought I had shit figured out, wasn't even near
Been trying to steer and gear, looking through the rearview
Got a clearer view now, so I move with no fear
Yeah I'm right here, and this time I ain't alone
Got the voice with the mic spittin through your headphones
Headstrong, been long enough, tired of acting tough
With this nonsense that ends up putting us in cuffs
Got the mind as a muscle, on the grind doing double
Read signs between the lines, 'cause these times are a hustle
Gotta quit runnin', and most of us just be frontin'
There ain't half as much room, and pretty soon we'll have nothing
But I do this 'cause of something, it's fluent 'cause I love it
Hope is truant so we buggin, everyone is pushing, shoving
Need some time to take a breather, gotta be a leader
Gotta take that extra step, my mothafuckin' feet hurt
