Half Steps

See they wonder why I'm mad stressed You can't find a path to success on MapQuest Create your own address And if you're lucky and you find it Shine 'cause so many folks are blinded To this mountain that I'm climbing See my people went and gave this up They never made a buck with me, I never gave a fuck Told to make it in this game I needed faith and luck Ain't my lucky charms guess I never prayed enough Far wise I raised it up enough The next time you try to take a jump You would never make it up right you chumps I take a dump on your album after I pirate it 'Cause if you're not half as nice as me I'm not buying it I'm not a hater I can't have a career when my competition's granted more than I make in a year My fears turn to panic When I panic I damage anything that's in my way This display is just my way of bearing out to y'all What's really on my mind Say I have an old song No I just value time And lately I've been dwelling I haven't been recording I'm trying to be responsible But y'all think I'm ignoring my dreams You see my dreams have been completed Daddy saw me rock in front of 40,000 people Saw me on TV and heard everybody screaming But seeing him smile is what gave my life a meaning I'm far from finished But when he left it took a part of me So pardon me but moving forward's pretty hard for me You think I give a shit if I ain't on that Twitter shit I felt like I was limitless But lately it's just bitterness Fuck y'all who turned your back when I was down and out I had my goals but you had your doubts Now I'm back and I ain't backing out So if I can't get my shine on, the whole fucking scene here is blacking out Go around ask about how I can pack a room full of people Make them laugh about the shit you rap about It's real life And I'll sign an affidavit stating every statement I've ever created was never fabricated I'm not angry, I'm showing y'all the side of me I tried to hide See I gave it a little privacy but now it's in the open And I'm so focused that even the smallest dose of my opus could cause an over dosage I'm just too ferocious but that's logical I have to be this way in order to be unstoppable I'd like to write all the little things that inspire me But also shedding light on how fucked up this life could be I was the role model No negativity That got me on TV But the rest of y'all took a shit on me I had nothing left to write Every night trying to rhyme But it's like the hands of time gave me left and right Plan to burn bright, can't ignite I'm trying to paint a picture Y'all want a record that's the panda type And I just finished it now The master of bad hands when the chips are all down Wow, better late than never But sometimes shit gets delayed by bad weather So sorry if it feels like forever 'Cause I bet on myself and things slowly got better I just need to remember The next time life gets mad stressed It'll pass like my very last math test It's okay to hit a wall just like a crash test Move forward even if it's just a half step
