Im lacking ambition, I've got ammunition
But can't find the words, please tell me what's missing
I'm driven, but still in a whirlwind of trauma
With feelings that's built up, still be here minyana 
My head it feels heavy, Heart been there already
I'm busting my ass so the cash flow is steady
Confetti for effort, but I'm feeling severed
We're sheep to the Shepard, can somebody tell me

How you continue to get out of bed? 
When life has gone dull, you're hungry, but fed
You want something more but continue to tread 
Hang up you dreams, for milk and some bread
Just to keep food on the table and somehow we're able to come up with rent 
All to give favor to fables on how we enabled ourselves into being content 
Barley a dent, determined to be like my nasal, I'll learn to be better with scents 
It's all making sense, swear I should call myself April to show what a fool I have been
Never give in, just give it back, patient and focused and now running laps
I've got a vision, I'm headed to that, waiting did nothing but hold myself back 
Wicked with writtens, I cling to the craft, bar after bar and they still in the trash 
For this I've been wishing, now I attack, my presence like presents, a gift when I rap 
I'm gifted at that, but really it's sad
Wish I was selfish, but always gave back
Cause I know what it's like to want and not have 
That could be why I feel stuck where I'm at 

Im lacking ambition, I've got ammunition
But can't find the words, please tell me what's missing
I'm driven, but still in a whirlwind of trauma
With feelings that's built up, still be here minyana 
My head it feels heavy, Heart been there already
I'm busting my ass so the cash flow is steady
Confetti for effort, but I'm feeling severed
We're sheep to the Shepard, can somebody tell me

Why am I scared of embarrassment, to the point that it's embarrassing 
Sharing our gifts and our talents is something that we should be doing more carelessly 
Don't wait for the moment, just make one and own it 
I don't need an omen, I'm kicking doors open 
And noticed while roaming when spoken I'm potent
I'm rolling up dope,  got me foaming like rodents 
Opponents are frozen, days numbered like romans
here's open enrollment, I don't need atonement
I leave the mic swollen like busting the Trojan 
I gave you my notion, go listen to Motion 
We all do it different, that is profound 
Prolifics the goal, but before the ground
Rebound when I miss, im alright in the paint
Fantasizing bout some fans and a stage

Im lacking ambition, I've got ammunition
But can't find the words, please tell me what's missing
I'm driven, but still in a whirlwind of trauma
With feelings that's built up, still be here minyana 
My head it feels heavy, Heart been there already
I'm busting my ass so the cash flow is steady
Confetti for effort, but I'm feeling severed
We're sheep to the Shepard, can somebody tell me

Where do I look when I dont have the answer
Running in place on the wheel like a hamster
But I'll flip the script to the point I'm the master
Manifesting all my dreams from disaster
More than unstable when I lost my father 
Sick an unable to change the end product 
In the states care while they hassle my momma
Bottled it up for to long if I'm honest
Holding shit back made me nothing but nauseous
Now I play beats and the tracks where I vomit 
Ironic, I know
I don't mean the bread, but I'm on a roll 
From son to a father I had to switch roles
Family with nothing, I had to set goals 
Don't mean to impose
Why settle for less, when I'm worthy of gold
Come how I started I'm going for broke 

Im lacking ambition, I've got ammunition
But can't find the words, please tell me what's missing
I'm driven, but still in a whirlwind of trauma
With feelings that's built up, still be here minyana 
My head it feels heavy, Heart been there already
I'm busting my ass so the cash flow is steady
Confetti for effort, but I'm feeling severed
We're sheep to the Shepard, can somebody tell me

What do I do when I need inspiration 
Talk to my brother, he gave me salvation 
Held my ass down, while I switch occupations
I'm chasing my dream, while he's laying the pavement 
Paving a way for the kids out of place
Who know what they feel but don't know what to say 
So what can I say, ummmmm
Let yourself in, strive to be great
Invest in your efforts and double your plate
Work harder be better your life is at stake 
Your heart and your head should be sharing the space
Map out your vision, and make it your fate
I'm switching positions for distance, just listen
Said f*ck your admission, Im over permission
Most overlook me like terms and conditions
But I'm going up like my homies tuition 

I've found my ambition, unload ammunition
I said what I needed, don't need your opinion
I'm driven, but giving hot flashes like saunas
Forgive me, I'm on it so switch up the chorus
My head is uneasy, my heart doesn't need it
Sparkin a blunt just to cope with my feelings
Ceilings are shrinking, or I'm getting taller
Mad man, with the brain of a scholar 
Heart full of hussle, I get it like robbers
Half and half, but I'm not Arnold palmer
Cook like a chemist, shout out to Walter
Bad lil bitch wanna kick it like soccer 
If I'm in the sheets, I don't hit it I slaughter
When I do my thing, Beaman does it proper
Listen to the melody and turn into a monster
Caution to the wind, I come I conquer
