lyrics

Yeah I grew up on the streets and the roads of Milwaukie/I was pretty happy you could say I was lucky/Cuz I grew with two parents and a family and love/and I grew up knowing Jesus that alone is enough/and I broke the sixth commandment getting up on this beat/haters eating my dust got they eyes on my feet/ I'm ahead they upset all these levels I been led/ but I ain't keeping any glory Cuz I'm the one being led/ by him/ yeah sing this like a hymn/let it bounce off your mind and go in like a rim/ain't no free throw/ nothing free bro/but get in buckle up let's set off for this show/I aint feeling like me/no one out there can see/ this ain't who I want to be/but imma keep on going on in a one two three/ Yeah I'mma Loud person that is disguised as shy/but every minute that I hide behind the lid of my eye/ I live a world me/not a lot get to see/once you're in you will regret the decision to be/ here/ no need to fear/ once u get to know me it will get real clear/I'm a deer on the headlights the world as my car/sun shining so bright I can't get very far/ alright what? This songs sounding wack/it be creeping on ya haters call it lyrical attack/yeah he used to be my friend man but he stabbed me in the back/yeah I gave you all my pity but you gave me nothing back/now I'm my worse critic I don't think that y'all get it/imma misfit till the day that I die don't forget it/yeah Paul said it/who should we fear/with the word of God with us like a holy spear/yeah imma keep on rapping on don't wanna let the music stop/cleaning up the industry with my words like a mop/same old rhymes earning dimes for the hours I put in/trynna kill every track that I'm on like a sin/moccasin what? What's up with what ur wearing?/got so many masks on all the fakers staring/your so fake even they can't recognize ya/your so fake even they all despise ya/yeah I don't care what people think/ I used to rap to get attention but now I realize that that stinks/so I just rap the truth and none of y'all can stop me/I'm sounding cocky on ya fellas Cuz I know that God got me/reference does anybody get it?/the truth can sink in but only if you let it/yeah that's right I said it/turn me up if you missed it/you don't gotta like my music so I ain't caring if you dissed it/looking distant/ come back to me bro/imma dumb it down a notch and rap it to you slow/yeah you looking for the fact a but there's not a lot to know/just have some faith and take the path set before/in conclusion I hoped to leave you awestruck/but I dont got all the necessary skill aww shucks/so I'll put my all in and give it my best/ and i leave it up to y'all to figure out the rest
