I thought I’d have it all together By the time I reached this specific moment I’d be lying through my teeth if I didn’t own it And express that there’s no satisfaction. I just have to work bank account hasn’t caught the accolades and it hurts I could use some cash flow to save the day Used to be promoters tried to hit me for the pay to play Now they speak of me like I might be one of the city’s greats Folks around the nation talk about me like I’m finna break Rap chat’s often Giant like my dad’s Coughlin This kind of growth isn’t something that you back off of Coming from a land where not a lot of blacks prosper Complexion make you drive with wallet on the dash obvious Life is in danger if you don’t have your tags proper Or if you hit the wrong hood and it’s past darkness I was raised to be prepared to swing like Math Hoffa So I swing for the fences. Don’t be pitching at Hosmer I always thought that violent ends were absurd But my words Got me in your favorite city it’s superb But my family deserves More from me as I’m flowing Yet I’m barely home, my kid brother barely knows me Mom laughs on the phone but I can tell she’s lonely Is this the grind’s toll, or is my perception phony? Was gonna hit the fam, but I had to book another show That’s the way it stands for you to watch the brother grow Y’all think I’m blessed up I’m just feeling pressure When your favorite indie rapper swears that I’m next up And Your favorite nerdy rapper hyped all my sets up Always get respect around my town because my rep’s tough But behind on bills they’re steady eating all my checks up But I can see progression On these flights I didn’t pay for Gigs starting to pay more Peep the flyer now my name’s bigger on the paper Love is in the labor You say I’m being brave but While I’m glad to get respect Some of you swear you sold your soul for a steady check Yet I’ve Been looking for my soul. I could swear it left Burned it out as I strove to chase this thing doggedly Atlas says my place is about to be where it ought to be Light run ins with majors I’m afraid they’ll be accosting me You trying to imitate the trap, but they watch the geeks They want to infiltrate Think that’ll get them paid At these conventions with a couple thousand in the place Making sounds that get them crazed I don’t know how to give them blame When girls cosplaying Tifa and Danaerys Dropped some bills on me for merch while I was signing things for Aeris I’m trying to keep it short because she’s got a line behind her My Lady’s somewhere in the arcade. I need to find her Phone’s on the table showing email reminders That this Shirt and CD money’s going to feed my loan providers So I cringe over the sight of The perception that I’m rolling cake Back in my city see these rappers stuck in older ways Don’t mention my name in those best of KCMO debates Then in private ask me how I get to play the shows I play Difference is I’m only so concerned with local ways Respect the town and move around. That’s the only way for Rhyme tacticians If Mind’s ambitious Solomon said the people perish when they lack vision I took that to heart like cardiac tissue Now I’m paid to play and travel off raps written They gate-kept their spaces but I still thrash in them Dominated what they built to pat their backs didn’t I? phone Lights flashing Homie I’m laughing They used to ignore me. Now they’re on me like Magic That’s both elder wand after he that owns crashes And 32 jersey with purple and gold graphics When he’s all over the post Now I’m all over they’re posts “I knew him when he started,” they just fall over to boast I’m thankful for it all. It’s taking lots longer than most I just thought I’d be here sooner Now I’m close
