[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
All I ever wanted was somebody to hear me
~#**************#~
And all I ever wanted was somebody to feel me
~#**************#~
And everybody wanna tell me that Im out of my head
~#**************#~
When Im on the mic, thats fine, but that dont scare me
~#**************#~
Its been a long time, but Im back now
~#**************#~
Rap pow, welcome to the rap house
~#**************#~
Rap pow, will live til I pass out
~#**************#~
Blackout, blackout, everybody keep on wonderin if I still rap now
~#**************#~
Are you serious?
~#**************#~
Anybody out there hearin this?
~#**************#~
Yo, I came in the game as a lyricist
~#**************#~
And Ima leave like that, period
~#**************#~
You sniff lines, I write lines
~#**************#~
Youve now entered in my mind
~#**************#~
And you better get ready cause you might find
~#**************#~
Im from a different place, and my kind
~#**************#~
Its a little bit different than yours is
~#**************#~
Quit snoring, hip-hop isnt dead
~#**************#~
Its just been in mournin
~#**************#~
From the moment I quit recording
~#**************#~
Quick, record this
~#**************#~
Listen, Im warming up and youre misinformed if
~#**************#~
You think that Im slipping up, this aint sick enough
~#**************#~
Then Ill skip the chorus
~#**************#~
Ive been here, aint nobody heard of me?
~#**************#~
Yeah Ima turn this beat to a murder scene
~#**************#~
I dont live for the world
~#**************#~
I live for the King, I live for the King, focus
~#**************#~
Wrote this with emotion
~#**************#~
Its hard to get a break when the doors aint open
~#**************#~
Its hard to get a shot when the gun aint loaded
~#**************#~
And its hard to make a living when nobody wanna notice, hold it
~#**************#~
What am I insane maybe? Plain crazy
~#**************#~
You put me in a room with a mic you will not restrain me
~#**************#~
You do what you wanna but you cant contain me, lazy
~#**************#~
Is not a character trait of mine, dont wait in line
~#**************#~
This is the current condition of my state of mind
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Dont tell me that this isnt real
~#**************#~
Dont tell me this aint how I feel
~#**************#~
This is all I have, all I have
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
All I ever wanted was somebody to get this
~#**************#~
All I ever wanted was somebody to play this
~#**************#~
Yeah, take my song, put it on their playlist
~#**************#~
And get goosebumps every time they play it, rate us
~#**************#~
If thats my calling or not, Father, maybe I should just not bother
~#**************#~
Go back to that nine-to-five, but I am not a quitter so quit that
~#**************#~
I never been a killer but I guarantee I kill tracks
~#**************#~
Put them in a coffin, lost in, rip that
~#**************#~
Tryin to make an impact in rap, is that insane?
~#**************#~
Well, I guess so
~#**************#~
Rap though, better give me that pencil
~#**************#~
And you aint ever gonna make it, its all mental
~#**************#~
I am in a place where I cant let go, agh!
~#**************#~
I still work a job and do this, and yall know whats stupid?
~#**************#~
I thought all you had to do was get a record deal, and, your things start moving
~#**************#~
But thats not the case, because most of the times—the artists you hear
~#**************#~
You keep on thinking that artist is new, but that artist has prolly been at it for years
~#**************#~
Yeah, in the back of my mind thinking, am I wasting my time dreamin?
~#**************#~
And I aint got no money in my wallet, but I guarantee there aint no way that I am gonna leave this
~#**************#~
I need this, I swear to yall, I need this
~#**************#~
And this hip-hops in my veins, if you cut me Ima bleed it
~#**************#~
And, yo, what you think I write raps for? No reason? No
~#**************#~
Take my pain and I put em in a song—ever since them pills, they took my mom
~#**************#~
Ive been a different person, dont try to predict my verses
~#**************#~
What youre hearing now is me whether Im in front or behind that curtain
~#**************#~
I stand behind these words and, Im a Christian but Im not perfect
~#**************#~
Dont tell me to calm down, Im calm now, listen, Im just working
~#**************#~
Yeah, it might take a minute to get it, but once you get it everything will be crystal clear
~#**************#~
I dont think they see my vision here, I dont think they see my vision here!
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Dont tell me that this isnt real
~#**************#~
Dont tell me this aint how I feel
~#**************#~
This is all I have, all I have
~#**************#~
Dont tell me that this isnt real
~#**************#~
Dont tell me this aint how I feel
~#**************#~
This is all I have, all I have
~#**************#~
Dont tell me that this isnt real
~#**************#~
Dont tell me this aint how I feel
~#**************#~
This is all I have, all I have
~#**************#~
All I have
~#**************#~
Dont tell me that this isnt real (this isnt real, this isnt real)
~#**************#~
This is all that I have, this is all that I have
