This is where you'll be if you don't take steps
Age 53, still trying to pay off debt
Cause you were scared to fail a plan that ain't leave your mind
You don't deserve the preach, blind cant lead blind
You don't deserve the top, if you can't even climb
At this rate your banking on nickels and dimes
After years of serving tables, praying for some visibility
But how you supposed to change when you paid to live in misery
Unstable, treated like a racing horse in a cage
Only time you get some air is when you make a nigga paid
You'll feel like a jockeys strapped to your motherfucking frame
Every time you take a step for him, you're further from your name
When did you lose the plot and the hunger for this game
You could've had it all, but you chose to maintain
The mind frame that keeps a nigga stuck in a box
This is you if you don't use what you got
Just a rotten artist
Why you wanna be alright
If you wanna leave, then find
This relevance
This relevance
Why you wanna be alright
If you wanna leave, then find
This relevance
This relevance
Will Based ever be a star
Or just another rotten artist in the flesh
Left to die with all his light before he reach his final destination on his quest
Will Johnny pass his tests
And address every dream
Like its his life's mission
Cause you could be one song away till they all listen
So his ambition won't rest because a little friction
Even when he has no breath he'll maintain his vision
Cause he tired of killing himself to make a living
Cause being young, black, and broke aint in his life's description
He on a strong path of wisdom, power, and wealth
That first verse where he was cursed was just a fiction of self
Why you wanna be alright
If you wanna leave, then find
This relevance
This relevance
Why you wanna be alright
If you wanna leave, then find
This relevance
This relevance
Lets say for example
I don't know someone who wants it more than you do
They dont not have the abilities or the affinity
But they want it more
And they put the work and effort and blood sweat and tears in
As opposed to a person that's born with it
Who deserves it more
The person who puts in the work
And the time and the energy for it
That's what, thats what one would think right
But this world is unfair as well
Maybe like somehow the talented person is awarded more because they are born with it
I don't know if this is black and white
That's how come I'm asking for different perspectives
You know
Throughout it all
But your perspective makes sense
I mean my perspective is like
If you were born with a talent
You shouldn't let it rot away
And not utilize it
And that doesn't necessarily mean
You're whole
Huh
Is it because you think that there's a responsibility
Because then that's the next philosophical question
Why should you
Is it your responsibility to follow through for what
For the audience
Why do they deserve your talent
I feel like it's your responsibility for yourself
Hmm interesting
