(verse 1)
I'm just tryna make a mountain out a mole hill
And all the hard work got me searching my soul still
You know nil about me. Why would I even lie?
Still facing chiba, high, still wasting eastern time
But beyond standard. I don't know what to call it when
You claim that you be rocking but lack the audience when you drop it
Homie, that's kinda important
Your flow's a knockoff, and all your rhymes are imported
I'm in the sort of mind-state Damien Marley's in
Sparking a palma stuffed to the T. You puff it with me
The room starts to spin. I'm grinning like it's nothing to me
Don't get caught up in the colors and lights, you might forget
To see what's in front of your face like my fist
Ya'll just running in place, my advice is this
Give it all you got or just quit, motherfucker

[chorus]
Welcome to my life, it's got ups and downs
I feel grateful just to be above the ground
I can't save you, but I can show you how to say
I was weak then, I'm a soldier now
[repeat x2]

(verse 2)
On my way to the Mecca, let me pray at the shrine
I won't look back, the only thing I'm wasting is time
Today I'ma grind, and never go the fuck home
Another scuffed stone tucked away in the mine
My voice shapes sapient minds, fates intertwine
With faith in this climb, we'll make it to that status and shine
Loved ones are eager to see me chasing what's mine
I'm breathing deep and believing I'ma change and be fine
Came a long way from aching inside. Let me intervene
I was pissed, missing inner peace, I was in the weeeeds!
No shutting down my drive, now above the ground
Thriving and cutting out bullshit to get the cream
A warrior prophet recording the gospel in lo-fi to horde it and stock it away
Until I'm either dead in the dirt or stuck in a cage
Then again I'm seeing sunnier days (it's like)


[chorus repeat x2]
