Revelations

When I look in the mirror it's like

There we go, yeah

At times I don't know who I be

And when I look in the mirror it's like I don't know who I see

Am I even moving at all?

Cuz I swear I can't tell if my life is improving at all

Every time I got a pen in my hand

I forget every time before that one has been in my hand

And I write for the moment, get it tight how I want it

Get the right lawyer on it cuz I might wanna own it

I tussle and I fight, I hustle and I write

I struggle every night with every muscle in my mic

I'm in this rap race trying to eat the cheese

But y'all don't know my name like Alicia Keys

My face ain't familiar, neither is my music

If shit don't soon change I be the one to lose it

I drink a little liquor tryin' to heal my nerves

Cuz y'all don't listen here and feel my words

But something's wrong with y'all, ain't nuttin' wrong with me

And happy in my life is what I long to be

And happy in my life is what I'm gonna be

What you see in me is what I was born to be

From the day that my moms first birthed a child

She didn't need the world to make it worth the while

So I don't need no magazine to reach the pinnacle

Screw a review and you can eat the interview

Cuz that's what y'all seem to tend to do

Them cats you cover all seem identical

But through it all I weave like the park was here

And shine underground cuz it's darkest there, yeah

I Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the song

Try and listen

I keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the song

Try and listen

I keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the song

Try and listen

I keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the song

Y'all industry niggaz should be feeling ashamed

Y'all like "he ain't still in the game, we're stealing the name"

But wait just a sec that's straight disrespect

If you take shit and get and don't be late with the check

I'm on the underground trying to scrape and scrounge

And sure it feel good to take a break and lounge

All these ups and downs like a roller coaster

Life is a bitch I'm trying to hold her closer

I'm killin' every nigga in sight (sight)

The bigger the dog, the bigger the fight

If you really say you know me then you'd figured I might

Try to use my anger as a trigger to write

I put it down simple on the paper or pad

And try to take a stab at what is making me mad

I jump on the track and I ride it through

And do it for the people that are tried and true

But y'all so fickle y'all love me today

And tomorrow love another cat and shove me away

But most ain't committed to do it how I did it

In the way that I did it, in the way that I spit it

It's like my burst of truth and it might hurt the booth

But first the proof, it gave birth to youth

Rap's like trying to take a piss in the wind

I'm just glad to know that some of y'all are listenin' in

I keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the song

Try and listen

I keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the song

Try and listen

I keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the song

Try and listen

I Keep movin' along, keep bringin' it on, I keep singin' the son

But try and listen
