[Intro]
~#**************#~
C-Sick
~#**************#~
[Chorus 1]
~#**************#~
Ive been workin like Ive never been
~#**************#~
I struggle every day but I just cant let the devil in
~#**************#~
And if I knew back then what I know right now
~#**************#~
What I know right now
~#**************#~
Id be better than Ive ever been, better than Ive ever been
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
You ever wonder what it all really means?
~#**************#~
Heart full of dreams?
~#**************#~
I know Ima do it, go get it by any means
~#**************#~
Serving food for the thought like its rock to the fiends
~#**************#~
I said this shit for years boy, this life aint what it seems
~#**************#~
Sayin that you cant just solidifies you never will
~#**************#~
Said you would, said you could, but you aint got the skill
~#**************#~
You gotta climb the highest mountain to master the hill
~#**************#~
You gotta climb over your ego to master your will
~#**************#~
Gave up on your dreams for a suit and a pension
~#**************#~
God damn, I hope youre here for the intervention
~#**************#~
You say you would if you had the money
~#**************#~
Dont make me mention
~#**************#~
It dont cost nothin but time for you to pay attention
~#**************#~
Now dont get me wrong
~#**************#~
I know theres people out there hatin on ya
~#**************#~
And it feel like your self-esteem is breakin on ya
~#**************#~
All they ever seem to do is hate when you speak
~#**************#~
They spend seven days preyin on the weak
~#**************#~
I know the world sleepin on ya like a sedative
~#**************#~
Talk all you want about me homie, Ima let it live
~#**************#~
Hater this, hater that, say I sound repetitive
~#**************#~
Hatin in your blood, you was born to be negative
~#**************#~
[Chorus 2]
~#**************#~
Never been
~#**************#~
I struggle every day but I just cant let the devil in
~#**************#~
And if I knew back then what I know right now
~#**************#~
What I know right now
~#**************#~
Id be better than Ive ever been, better than Ive ever been
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
This is dedicated to everyone that never made it
~#**************#~
And the people that persevered even though they was hated
~#**************#~
They had a dream and a vision that they follow like a religion
~#**************#~
But on the real, the road to success is prone to collision
~#**************#~
And every now and then something happens thats unexpected
~#**************#~
Like that newborn in your life cause you was fuckin unprotected
~#**************#~
And I swear nobody perfect, hell, I know I aint
~#**************#~
Yeah I know this verse is heaven sent but Im far from a saint
~#**************#~
Live a life with no complaints, tryna do just what I can
~#**************#~
Learn from my fathers mistakes and become a better man
~#**************#~
Now plant a seed and watch em grow, teach em everything I know
~#**************#~
Show him how to fight his battles and always go toe to toe
~#**************#~
And this I know cause I been high, low, right, wrong
~#**************#~
But I had to do it all just so I could write this song, huh
~#**************#~
I spit knowledge like the listener is my only son
~#**************#~
And grip the mic like Im at war and its my only gun
~#**************#~
Sometimes this journey to the top can be a lonely one
~#**************#~
Yeah, and this victory lap a lonely run
~#**************#~
While my hometown screamin you the chosen one
~#**************#~
Tellin myself, dont choke, dont be the frozen one
~#**************#~
[Chorus 1 (Extended)]
~#**************#~
Ive been workin like Ive never been
~#**************#~
I struggle every day but I just cant let the devil in
~#**************#~
And if I knew back then what I know right now
~#**************#~
What I know right now
~#**************#~
Id be better than Ive ever been, better than Ive ever been
~#**************#~
Ive been workin like Ive never been
~#**************#~
I struggle every day but I just cant let the devil in
~#**************#~
And if I knew back then what I know right now
~#**************#~
What I know right now
~#**************#~
Id be better than Ive ever been, better than Ive ever been
~#**************#~
Ive been workin like Ive never been
~#**************#~
I struggle every day but I just cant let the devil in
~#**************#~
And if I knew back then what I know right now
~#**************#~
Id be better than Ive ever been, better than Ive ever been
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
Um, you like that take? I like it
~#**************#~
Yeah, should I make it more surreal though, or…
~#**************#~
I think its good, hey Bobby run it!
