From the recording Pipedown (Freestyle)

Lyrics

To tell the truth this music game can be lame as hell
While you're tryna sell some records you're selling yourself
And everybody got a hand out, controlling your wealth
It's like swingin with a hammer and missin the nail, I keep tellin myself
The journeys bigger than you, keep on being humble
It's all about the connections I ain't talkin bumble
While I'm weedin out the shorties who do nothin for me
But be a distraction and claim they adore me, if even

You wanna know what makes me tick?
You wanna know why I go so hard for this?
You wanna know why I love?
You wanna know what my mind is made of?
You wanna know what makes me tick?
You wanna know why I go so hard for this?
You wanna know why I love?
You wanna know what my mind is made of?

I do it for the brother who's never met his father
The daddy's that were taken not the deadbeats that don't bother
The daughter that was raped and drowning in her sorrows
Or the sister often strugglin worried bout tomorrow
Single parents giving their best shots, holdin it in the road
Tryna give the keys to life but barely ever drove
Family members with secrets who'll never tell a soul
It's time to free yourself from bondage, give up that control
I do if for the dreamers, Doctors, ballers and singers
You say that you gon make it im the type that's gon believe ya
I just wanna build this platform, show em, school em and lead em
It's neva been about the money, oddly, but not even
Used to think I was the underdog
More like Beethoven with a pen but I'm not deaf at all
If you're not tryna help me win, then don't you get involved
And when you tell me that I've changed, I'll be like so did y'all
[This is my my story dawg]
