See you when you get there Each one comin' with a different point of view You could teach it how you live it what you say and what you do Hold the line steady pray the truth not gettin' skewed And my heart weighs heavy if the message gettin' through From my soul speak, effort light up like a spark When the will is not enough are you okay with who you are With the purpose with the value we still stumble in the dark Give it courage no perfection in this art I gotta say it's not the same without you here with me I'd always say I'd go and live life fearlessly The tears deep this memory is not how it appears to be Imagine you're still here it's like you're here with me I gotta say it's not the same since you left Every moment I've been weary but I still take the step I've been grateful of the time that we spent Together we have plunged the depths I'm not here to clean the mess I just meet my high potential, do my best with no regret Dream weaving while these other rappers rest I'm Rodney Dangerfield, I don't get no respect It's been a long time comin' and you won't soon forget I'm focus on forgiveness but I haven't found it yet I share with you my worth and still I've never seen a check So now I'm feelin' anxious and I'm 'bout to hop in bed Yeah I got fans but they look at me like I'm dead They drunk and off the molly so they don't know what I said And even if they heard me bet they don't know what I meant I'm tellin' em they lazy and they prolly owe me rent So hop inside my mind and you can finally find me flex They think they know my steelo but don't really know what's next Hell I suppose it's anybody's guess He on a hero's journey but it seems to have no quests I'll do a podcast and never have a guest Involuntary celibate I'm never havin' sex I rock with Jesus and I'm all about my bread I sit with Mother Mary 'cos she saw me when I wept Awfully tense but I could prolly say I'm blessed I'm always on defensive like it's full court press I miss the bench since I could really use a rest And then I breathe it out my chest 'cos there ain't no such thing as death I love hip hop, I know she loves me back Cos I still get goosebumps when I write the perfect rap I wrote the simulation while these other rappers slept And they can't do it like I do it so they copy me instead And I encourage it I tell 'em go ahead I'm a hard knock's graduate don't do it for the cred I got a message I'm just hopin' that it spread Why I'm on Creative Commons, you can profit off my trend I'm not stupid I'm not here without my friends They all stopped going so I'm waitin' on my win They talk shit and it gets spoken in the wind I speak it in the open I don't do this for pretend I wrote you a letter but I'm never pressin' send It's never really perfect so I'll save it for the end Meet with me in astral, we workin' on a blend And if this make you smile then don't ever say you're grim If you salty son then take it up with Him By showin' generosity I'm sure not to offend Fuckin' hip hop I did this on a whim It's no sinkin' you're just swimmin' then you swim Just keep swimming I'mma swim until it's fin If you get it and ca' hold it while you really get it in If you get it while you living while you get a little grin Get a different set of vision and you'll never get a end See you when you get there
