[Verse 1: Jay Alexander] Let me tell them like this, it's not about the money or the fame It's about who can push on to the end, never forfeit the game I came up from the ground with fucking nothing to gain Then my head grew to earth size, I'd never fall again I look back on the hill I climbed, see it's a mountain Never thought wishes within reach, coins in a fountain Sometimes I lose sight of the words that I've since been spouting But I'll never lose all the days 'cause you know I've been counting Memories in slow decay like a tooth with too much sweet Every day question my worth still denying defeat Like I'm cut off below the ankle, ain't got a leg to stand on Even to this day, sucking inspiration like a tampon I will always dream on, Steven Tyler as a rapper Take all your riches back, charity's what I'm after I built this dream from the ground up, Minecrafter Always knew I'd make it some day, set my mind after This, and I promised myself that I'd never miss I'm focused on myself, never gave an ass a kiss Never let myself stoop that low, no masochist I always stick out my neck, huge, massive risk But at the end of the day it's all worth it I will always try my hardest to be perfect It may be impossible, but I shoot for the stars When all else fails, I'll still have some pretty sick fucking bars [Chorus: Jay Alexander] This is not a calling out, but we must focus on what's truly right This is not a condemnation, yet we still follow a path void of light Open up your senses to what we cannot see with our own eyes And allow the currents of hope to wash away all of your despise [Verse 2: redRaps] Honestly, nowadays rap be sounding shit Let me take a couple lines, and then make it sound like this Yeah, I pull up in my car, to your crib, then I bag your ooh Smoke a couple blunts and I drink, oh wow, I'm lit Yeah, you bragging 'bout your bad chicks Little, do you know, yeah, they be pulling hat tricks Dirty tactics, sticky fingers, hide your wallet They be on it, once they're done, they be moving I've been losing, my emotions, I be frozen Growing cold and, I don't know man Being honest, I don't trust, nobody in the room Funny, 'cause I'm all alone dropping bombs, like the Taliban I don't understand, what I'm feeling Only really know, that we headed for the ceiling Y'all are cornstalks, flimsy, no backbone Me versus you, yeah, you got no conviction [Bridge: Jay Alexander] Realizing boundaries are not the end of who we are Oh what a wonderful exposition Pushing past every obstacle into the great beyond Into enlightenment we transition Eyes are opened, minds are too, our troubles are now through Making all our paths forever clearer You are now turning brighter than you ever were before Now just take a glance into the mirror [Verse 3: ShapeShift] I rose up from the bottom like I rose up from the grave Awakening the slaves with that ink upon the page I'm looking through the third eye, check out how my words fly Spaceships fighting corporations 'til I die Yo, I seen beyond the veil, I'm the wind in your sail I'm the stride in your step, I was born to prevail And I rose above quick from indoctrination I flow once a month like ovulation Wonder why I even bother, for the truth I've sat and pondered I've come to the conclusion we're all universal authors Reality is a fallacy, 'cause life is what you make it More than they created for my mind's interpretation Yo, they wonder how I put together patterns so unlimited Because it comes from all the pain that I'm swimming in They threw me in this world and expected me to live in it And I never felt right until I merged with the infinite [Chorus: Jay Alexander] This is not a calling out, but we must focus on what's truly right This is not a condemnation, yet we still follow a path void of light Open up your senses to what we cannot see with our own eyes And allow the currents of hope to wash away all of your despise [Verse 4: Rainy] Lately I've been thinking 'bout the way things used to be 'Cause lately it's been getting harder staying true to me Sometimes I wish that I could be anybody else But other times I realize, I'm better off being myself Going through hell, everybody else making stacks While I'm making rap But it's not about the cash It's about the passion, not about the fashion Never cared about the money, I'm not about to cash in Shit, I never made a single dime for writing all these rhymes I know money ain't to die for, I'm not about that life I got a vision and I swear and I promise I'll make the decision not to chase them dollars But do the same shit I've been doing from the start Hope to God I leave a mark This is coming from the heart Even when the times are hard I will carry on Hip hop, gotta love it Cause it's all that I got Produced by Salem X. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-gZXt4EI0sAy4417VpofOA
