(VERSE 1)
I been waiting and I'm still waiting
Still failing my placement tests at registration
Still never discriminating the friendly faces
Still trying to balance my stress with meditation
Still trying to avoid cases and plea statements
Still saying all I need is a little embracing
Still use the blueprint copy for slight tracing
I hit goals but there's more for me to be chasing
Still hear the cries of the kids screaming for saving
This for them and whoever was locked in the basement
And through the dark night rose like Christian Bale
And kept rising after scratching the surface of hell
The topic of heaven depends on imagination
That's for later but for now keep rising and waving
Keep going to the moon and beyond the spaces
And if you fall keep falling with smiley faces

(BRIDGE)
The things that we see on the screen not ours
But these niggas from the hood so these dreams not far
They're not far (not far)
Where I'm from the dope boys is the rock stars
But they can't cop cars without seeing cop cars

(VERSE 2)
I been growing and still peaking
Still doubting my own talent I'm still sinking
Still hit the booth and wreck it I'm still wreaking
I saw the sun over the clouds I'm still reaching
I been afraid of the big stage I'm still speaking
I never been a believer but I hear what you preaching
Still representing the leaf village
Still training still changing from hero to villain
I been seen a common middle to every religion
Still feel like there's a place I can never revisit
Still V for vendetta still back paying
Still avenging my niggas I'm still Johnny blazing
I'm still self hazing from being victim of self hatred
Ain't got a child I'm still my grannies favorite
Still remember them nights where my ceiling was tv
Still remember sneaking out when she wanted to see me
Still hurt from Hilary when she wanted to leave me
I'm still laughing at the day we saw me on MTV
I bet she still waiting on that song about her
Still feel I can't right all of my wrongs without her
Still thinking of Tay Devito
Still feel E should've been left Premo
Still feel like JDP is the coolest alive
Been felt like Mac G owe a nigga some rhymes
I still feel like no group could be bigger than we
I still think not many rapping is better than me
I still pay a couple dues if needed to be
Still remember convo between Ricky and me
He asked me what I'm afraid of I been had it and I been knew it this ain't the time for you to still be modest you might lose it if you don't use it
I guess I was afraid I might abuse it
With my stress you see the good guy goes bad when he's pushed
Then he put that drunken fist on em well good luck
Take a look man they shook
From a prodigy wreaking havoc
Tell them old niggas what they set I been passed it
Still got a couple bucks crumbled in my pocket or wallet
And maybe twenty dollars on my plastic
Still let em know if I got it they can have it
Still never letting that keep me from writing classics
Still going till my tank empty
Still racing like Indy 500s really in me
No endorsement from a major or indie
Still acting like it don't offend me
I'm a genius
So we don't even speak the same English
And I ain't talking green I'm talking bout com sense
I'm trying get out my dreams you rapping that nonsense nigga wake up
And tell me where the hell time went
Should I shake up the world
