lyrics

[Verse 1]

All my friends had kids,
When they had fake IDs,
Got jobs they don't want,
For money they do need,
Drive cars they don't like,
But pay them high gas fees,
They still eat fast food,
but damn it they hungry,
What I'm saying "they" for,
I woke up in a 06' honda,
Tell Future quit playin' bro,
Yeah the present is a gift,
but my mortgage got a lift,
Self esteem took a shot,
I came back triple strength,
Never learned how to quit,
I got angels,
Pillow talk with a twist,
That's my label,
Ghost writers, find my pens you're in danger,
Could've wrote a book in revalations,
Born a lil' late, now it's poetry for strangers,
Oh yeah,
Generation X, all dreams no patience,
But I wouldn't change it,
Hell, i'm going places,
Kill the victim playing, system blaming, and get it,
I know too many with potential that missed it

[Verse 2]

Low standards, happy life,
Thats the trick ain't it,
Tried that, got bored,
Yo, i'm gear changing,
That's why, I hated school,
It was fear based,
Had a voice,
You busy trying keep me in place,
Stop that,
I'm the future of your country,
Do you want that,
Feelin' oppressed till' I see pressure,
And we bust that,
Do what you expect me to do,
see your building, take your rules,
Bust a nut, bust a move,
Who are you?
Not that person on the net,
Who are you?
Not that person you respect,
Who are you?
I been searching for the answers,
Been recording what I find,
Tell you story, dawg,
Keep doing you,
Liked rap, bought a booth,
I was only 15, bagging groceries came through,
Leaders got bad taste,
So I took it to the youth,
Don't wait for the perfect time,
Don't you wait to get approved,
Wake up
