They say half of something is better than all of nothing
I'd rather have nothing than be a bitch
I've seen grown men worship other grown men
And cater to that emotion in hopes of becoming rich
Which is hard to believe when you perceive it from the bleachers
I witnessed it firsthand, the first hand before it breaches
Niggas suck blood for that fortune and fame
Forcing the blame but the famous they need it more than the leeches
So here's an example of what the premise is
Star-studded occasion, I'm on the premises
Ball players and models, bottles of brown
He calls 'em around cause he's addicted to what the image is
The more you deny it it's like the more it shows
You ever notice rich niggas have the poorest souls?
You can ignore it, explore it, or even scoff
But regardless how you spin it, to people you're still lost
You're still lost
Said regardless how you see it my nigga it's your loss
(Yeah yeah)
Feeling like my life's about to change, uh
(Yeah yeah)
Feeling like nothing gon' be the same, huh
(Yeah yeah)
Nothing is what it seems
Chasing my dreams
Some people don't see a house until after it's built
Some people will buy shit if you wrap it in silk
Some people don't understand the respect that you demand
Until you say "fuck 'em all!" then your passion is felt
Other folks smother hope and repackage they grieve
Try to sell it back to you when they think you naive
Other folks sell a dream while plotting on other schemes
Throw a guilt trip on you when they think you might leave
I admit I was peeved but honestly I believe
Every action has a purpose to the surface I heed
Any baggage accumulated assuming they perceive
What I do is a threat, don't want to see me succeed
Don't want to see me exceed the little bar that they set
But I couldn't just leave, see I was lodged in the net
Niggas want to sub-tweet but that ain't hard to detect
But I'd rather be me than the facade that you rep
Say I'd rather be me than the facade that you rep
Niggas want to sub-tweet, that ain't hard to detect
(Yeah yeah)
Feeling like my life's about to change, uh
(Yeah yeah)
Feeling like nothing gon' be the same, huh
(Yeah yeah)
Nothing is what it seems
Chasing my dreams
Tell a person your dreams and they defer it
Tell a person you green and they prefer it
Tell a person you reconsidered the scope of what they spoke
To be the truth and the proof is whether they blurring
Ain't it funny how people have an effect on you?
Interfere so they inner fears project on you
Any opportunity given they try to step on you
When it happens you happy cause now it's less on you
Free to pursue your dreams without strings
Cause you could be rich even without things
A customer customizing a life that you knew was never right
Now you praying just to get out clean
So put your pride on sabbatical
There's not a person on Earth that's infallible
Never thought that these words was this powerful
Make 'em pay they ever doubted you
Don't wanna get misplaced, lost in the crowd
I'm in it 'til I'm obsolete
If I just fade to gray, leave with no trace
Might as well have been extinct
I'm tryna say (what I'm trying to say)
Don't wanna lose my way (what I'm trying to say)
Don't wanna lose my way (don't wanna lose my way)
Don't wanna lose my way
I don't wanna lose my way
For you, for you
