Roll up One

I wake up every day

And I start chasin' a dream

But understandin' reality

Always ain't what it seems

You can look me in my eyes

And you can take it from me

It wasn't long ago

That I was out there chasin' a fiend

See, my childhood was kinda split

It was cool

Because it was just constant chaos

Like we always had a cousin

In the spare room or on the couch

My mother was real musically driven

She was a woman that

When you woke up in the mornin'

Was in the kitchen singing fuckin'

'Bout dealing emotions

It's easy for me

To go and tell a story on a beat

But sometimes I cannot see

The forest for the trees

And when I was young and dumb

They said here the trouble comes

And the way I dealt with that

Was to roll up another one

Come on

I'm dedicated to change

(To change)

I've seen the darkness

It could not pull me under

Oh, no

Some people think it's insane

(It's insane)

I'm out here 'stead of dreamin'

A voice in my head is screamin'

So I (so I) so I (so I) roll up one

Oh, yeah (I just roll up one)

So I (so I) so I (so I) roll up one

(Yeah, roll up one)

I just roll up one

(Roll up one)

I just roll up one

The whole time I was incarcerated

Every time I talked

To my girlfriend on the phone

I'd say, baby when I get home

I'm doin' music

I promise you

I'll never sell crack again

I'm doin' music

I promise you

I'm doin' music

When they rolled up one

I'm doin'

Some days I wanna give up

This shit, it gets to my head

Sometimes I struggle to even go

And get up from my bed

I promise y'all been through it all

So these people were late

Sometimes I need me a brake

I'm just in need of some space

But the hustle, it never stops

So, I just thought a plan of action

But some days it's frustratin'

Like traffic jams in Manhattan

When I was a kid

I never really planned on rappin'

Hell, I never had a plan

Didn't know how I'd make it happen

Now, I can smell success

And where there's smoke there's a fire

Some days I just need a nap

I swear to god that I'm tired

But I can't sleep

I put it all on the line

Somebody like me

Is somethin' that your not gonna find

I made my point

I'm dedicated to change

(To change)

I've seen the darkness

It could not pull me under

Oh, no

Some people think it's insane

(It's insane)

I'm out here 'stead of dreamin'

A voice in my head is screamin'

So I (so I) so I (so I) roll up one

Oh, yeah (I just roll up one)

So I (so I) so I (so I) roll up one

(Yeah, roll up one)

I just roll up one

(Roll up one)

I just roll up one
