[00:06.92]Yeah
[00:11.90]Depression anxiety got ahold of me
[00:13.77]'Cause people say they want the older me
[00:15.88]Well I'm thirty this the oldest me
[00:17.37]Behold it's me the piece of s**t that's not good enough
[00:19.53]Not black enough not hood enough
[00:21.54]Not rich enough not poor enough
[00:23.25]My heart has poured enough
[00:24.74]I been beaten and battered my confidence shattered
[00:27.49]Been broken and tattered
[00:28.51]I'm constantly second guessin' if my profession is worth it on my mental state
[00:33.42]Writin' this from a dark place with humility and grace
[00:37.08]Peace love and positivity was my nativity
[00:39.74]But now when socials are in my vicinity
[00:41.90]I'm not runnin' from the internet
[00:43.75]My god I was at his birth I've been a vet
[00:46.07]Goin' berserk like Peter down at InterTech yo ayy
[00:50.00]It's deeper than the surface I'm searchin' for purpose
[00:52.35]I'm tired of searchin' for logic and Googlin' purposes to read that I'm worthless
[00:57.05]I remember makin' music alone just a pen and a microphone
[01:00.65]But nowadays it's hard to get in the zone
[01:03.34]Writin' rhymes was easy before the fame
[01:05.10]But now I'm constantly overthinkin' every line it's a shame
[01:08.06]Rap used to fill me with joy now it's nothin' but pain
[01:10.60]I'm stuck in the game tryna get back from where I came
[01:13.67]I write this letter for the person who's listenin'
[01:16.64]Fed up and tired of people dismissin' 'em I'm with you
[01:19.43]I been through what you been though
[01:20.90]No amount of money can take away the feelin' of insecurity
[01:24.51]Only though maturity can we overcome
[01:26.79]Feel like I've been overrun feel like it's over I'm done
[01:29.49]Whoever told you success gon' make you happy
[01:31.73]You been lied to
[01:33.19]All of my dreams came true but I bleed and cry too
[01:36.21]Never been perfect I failed everytime I tried to
[01:39.58]Feelin' hated and underappreciated
[01:41.49]Everytime I look in the mirror I wonder "Why you"
[01:45.19]S**t I'd love to end this on some positive s**t
[01:48.40]Hit you with punchlines instead of some derogative s**t
[01:51.26]But it's okay to be sad sometimes and tired of s**t I guess
[01:57.16]Alan Watts:
[01:57.51]And people say "Well you're just out for money"
[02:00.79]I say "That's none of your business"
[02:03.20]You see a lot of people don't feel happy
[02:05.17]Unless they have another thing beyond money which is called status
[02:10.10]And status to a very large extent in our economy consists in
[02:14.87]In having this thing that thing the other thing and having a swimming pool
[02:19.98]A uh Ferrari uh some kind of clothes and uh some kind of house
[02:26.52]And so on and so on and so on
[02:28.80]And we think uh we need all that
[02:31.07]Because we haven't asked ourselves whether that was what we really wanted
[02:35.37]They all think they gotta have this they gotta have that
[02:40.18]And uh they don't really want it
[02:42.17]If they sat back and considered
[02:44.51]"Do I need all that is this trip really necessary"
[02:48.00]They would come to the conclusion it wasn't
[02:51.47]Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha
