Lyrics
0:11Joyner Lucas:
0:13Tell me what do you see when you look in my eyes eyes
0:15Got a lot on my mind
0:17Hopin' I never be goin' out of my mind
0:18Been tryna control when I grow out of my prime
0:20I thought I was ready it really wasn't my time I know
0:23I live in my head
0:24I said I'd be rich and I did what I did
0:25But I don't do this **** for me I do this **** for my kids
0:27I teach 'em how to go and get it when they ready to leave
0:29I'm tired of livin' up in hell when I know heaven is free
0:30And nothin' really more important than protectin' the peace
0:32I wanna teach 'em how to grow up and be better than me
0:34When I was chasin' all the paper with no second to breathe
0:36And I tell myself to never give up and accept no defeat
0:37My premonitions already written in definitely
0:39But I never listen I know my vision and never could see
0:41And truthfully I wasn't even supposed to make it this far ayy
0:43I take it this far
0:45I know that God got me I'm thankin' him for yeah
0:46Soon as I get it then I'll be payin' him for it
0:48You know you made it when all the haters support haters support
0:51The haters support yeah
0:52Joyner been workin' and I ain't takin' no shorts
0:53When they tell me be humble then I'ma take in too far
0:55**** I used to feel like Will now I'm feelin' like uh
0:57Made mistakes can't get it right yeah
0:59Can't stand me I'm livin' like ooh
1:01Tryna win the Grammy like killin' my uh
1:02I'm a underdog like Killer Mike yeah
1:04Took a lot of Ls tryna win the fight ooh
1:06Got back up I'm still alright yeah
1:08I be alright I'm still alright yeah
1:09And I don't really care 'bout nothin' except for keepin' my legacy
1:11Hopin' I be livin' long enough to sleep with the enemy
1:13Had to take a shot for every tryna get rid of me
1:15I should take a look inside of my soul and see what they did to me
1:17I got a fire inside me and it's sleepin' within me
1:18When I look inside the mirror all I see is the little me
1:20Wishin' I could break out but I hope the evil no hinder me
1:22If I overcome it then I be achievin' the victory yeah
1:24Logic:
1:24What you really want what it really get
1:26'Cause I remember livin' my life with a milly face
1:27So many gears I thought I had a million ideas
1:29So I had a fire peace and release nonsense
1:31I do it for the art not the content
1:32All I really wanted was the acceptance
1:34Now as a man I can vent this
1:35**** that endless
1:36Do what you love in this life don't let hate in your life
1:38Know they work for a job 'til you eighty
1:39And look back like damn I really done gave 'em my life
1:41If I save just one life with this verse then it's worth it
1:43If this is your future you need to reverse it
1:45Ain't nobody perfect
1:46Man **** all that cake it ain't worth it
1:47Just take what you buried deep down in the dirt and
1:49I know that you heard it
1:50The voice from within not above
1:51So do what you love
1:52Ain't no way I could keep it up feelin' this feelin'
1:54It's creepin' up tellin' me I will not be enough
1:56No wasn't bein' me enough
1:57I think I see enough of what I don't want in my life
1:59Give a damn if it's right it's the reason I write
2:01Need a reason to fight 'cause I need it in sight
2:02With these monsters in sight it get darker than what I would like
2:05But I know I'm alright
2:05Twista:
2:05Ain't nobody you could never know my struggle
2:06As a child goin' through **** way harder to blow than out a bubble
2:08And I know lot of trouble before I got to the lyrical ability
2:11The water that was flowin' out a funnel
2:12Had to channel the aggression and depression
2:13For only a moment when I had to realize rappin' ain't it
2:16When there wasn't no more money from a record deal
2:17I couldn't get another one so I was about to quit
2:19Had to get a job
2:20Didn't wanna be a slob even though I would rather be spittin' bars
2:23Then one day somebody saw me at work and said
2:25Twista why are you in here washin' cars
2:26That hurt my heart
2:27That **** tore me apart
2:28So I prayed up to God
2:30That if I ever got another chance at music
2:31I won't take it granted
2:32I'ma dunk if I get the lot
2:33Rented an AK from Do Or Die
2:35He said come to the studio I'll put you on a song
2:37Start my new gig in the mornin' but I'ma come after
2:39This is my chance to get back on
2:40Thankful that I was livin' at my brother's house
2:42But it weren't my own
2:42So I'ma finna go in
2:44I walked in the lab and the beat was by Crackster
2:45Title of the song was Po Pimp
2:47I said ooh snap
2:48I told 'em I'm about to jack
2:49Spittin' funky like I'm a MAC
2:51I'ma come off so hard on this track
2:52It's gon' change my condition and change the way people rap
2:54Might be broke as **** and collectin' no dough from tips
2:57But be spittin' more game than a mouth full of poker chips
2:59And I was glad that the world recognize how ** this is
3:01And the prayer was effective
3:02If you stressed and depressed let this come and soak in your brain
3:05First time that I ever played Po Pimp for somebody
3:07I was on the way to work on the train
3:08And I didn't quit it 'til the record was droppin'
3:10But when I did it I knew it was right
3:12'Cause through my prayers and my faith and my words
3:13It get darker than what I would like but I know I'm alright
