You Don't Want It
[Verse 1]
This life that I'm living,
The shit on my mind,
Man I swear to god you don't want it,
Fuck college, I'll go when I want,
If I don't then oh well,
Man I just wanna rap,
It's a fact,
Perhaps, if I could make it big and just pretend that my problems don't exist,
Then I won't resist,
The most consistent gift,
And wish that this shit could end break or split in a mystical bliss,
It's ok,
It's ok,
They say that everything is ok,
Make ways to,
Oh no, I won't go there,
I won't compare,
What I love to what I mostly fear,
One time I broke a mirror cause I hated the image,
True shit, that's prolly why I'm making these wishes,
Got 5 years left with a blur to my vision,
Guess I prolly shoulda thought before I made the decision,
But oh well,
You live and you learn,
And I'm the type of dude to prolly never mention concerns,
Not the bestest with words,
Cause that wasn't one,
And what I do for fun,
That wasn't one,
Did you just start listening,
I just begun,
To all the people saying I'll make it when the times right,
Well you can get the fuck up outta my sight,
In hindsight, you never helped me anyway so what you know bout my fight,
Why lie,
It's Sci-Fi how I rhyme lines,
Time flies when your mind is like a life line,
Forreal it's so crazy,
These niggas fugazi,
Just look what you made me,
I wanna make it, but no one is helping me,
I can't conceive to your ideals but whatever's there to take from me,
Let's take the key of misery, drown it in your memories,
Roll the Dutch and all just sing along to fucking 'Let It Be'.

[Bridge]
The story's the same,
If I told you, you'd swear that you heard it all,
Where'd it all change,
I'm yelling but don't think I'm heard at all,
The story's the same,
If I told you, you'd swear that you heard it all,
I'm looking for change...

[Hook]
You wanted me, I give it to you,
And now you don't want it,
I know you don't want it,
I know you don't want it,
You wanted me, I give it to you,
And now you don't want it,
I know you don't want it,
I give you me and I know you don't want it.

[Verse 2]
You do not want this shit,
No, you don't want it,
Truth is, neither do I,
Good luck with your lives,
Rap is hella stress, hope it pays great,
Honestly, ironically, stress for me just seems to always motivate,
Initiate the plan from point B to letter Z,
Where's the A you ask,
Well beats me,
Historically it always came first admittedly,
But not with me,
Cause you see, A is to better all the lives around me,
They found me,
Oops, gotta run,
Run run as fast as I can,
To be the man and it's for certain I'll be working till my fingers hurting,
From writing or typing,
Whatever you wanna call it,
But I'll just call it like I see it,
Believe it,
I mean it cause I'll be the meanest,
To hop on the scene,
It's amazing,
I'm staring in awe,
I thought that you knew,
Thought you saw,
But guess not,
I best not go there no way,
It's a hard knock life like Hov say,
Ok, but I am really not the type to go play,
Most days,
I'd rather sit alone and write,
I'm hungry tryna find the light,
But every day's a struggle and I'm sure it's like a losing fight,
I'm losing might and sight of what I hope to be,
I hope to see,
The world as we know it, sing to Jodeci,
And notice me,
As hip hops best contender, oh so woefully,
Why front,
Guys run where I'm from,
Or they wish they did,
Got me feeling like I'm dumb,
That's a nice one,
I'm the bright son,
The oracle,
Everybody come to me, I'm feeling so historical,
The more you know, the better,
But is it really better when you feel the pain much deeper within each and every letter,
Well for better or worse,
Imma live with curse,
And spit every verse as if it is my last,
Forreal.

[Bridge]
The story's the same,
If I told you, you'd swear that you heard it all,
Where'd it all change,
I'm yelling but don't think I'm heard at all,
The story's the same,
If I told you, you'd swear that you heard it all,
I'm looking for change...

[Hook]
You wanted me, I give it to you,
And now you don't want it,
I know you don't want it,
I know you don't want it,
You wanted me, I give it to you,
And now you don't want it,
I know you don't want it,
I give you me and I know you don't want it.

(beat switch)

[Verse 3]
Is it weird that I can look into myself if I can't help it,
You ask me about breakfast and I prolly won't remember,
But sometime late in December,
I got some life changing news,
Imma be a father,
Is the story the same now,
Insane how,
My life is at a different pace now,
And everything I do, it's like I'm doing for Drake now,
Displaced now, from whatever I used to be,
Then I think bout my own father and I see what it do to me,
I'm... Stressed out,
But everyone is saying how I'm blessed now,
It's ok how I see it,
The music is building me into what I'm tryna be,
And I just want them to see,
That father or not, I'm going after I'm dreams,
And I'm only going harder tryna water my seed,
I wanna bleed for my own and this the place for it,
Blank canvases hold all the fucking space for it.

[Bridge]
The story's the same,
If I told you, you'd swear that you heard it all,
Where'd it all change,
I'm yelling but don't think I'm heard at all,
The story's the same,
If I told you, you'd swear that you heard it all,
I'm looking for change...
