I spend day in day out just tryna write sh**
And usually the beat never is the right fit (like this)
It isn't quite it so I'll trash the track
Crumple up papers and never look back
And I lack motivation to fully move on
Takes me months or years to finish a new song
"It's been too long" is what they usually tell me
"A while since we hear from our favorite female MC"
So they remember me for about 5 minutes
And then go back to life before I was in it
I'm not a cynic, I just know what happens
And know no one would care if I quit rapping
Back then I gave a sincere thought to it
But hip hop got me and I grew strong through it
Knew it would prevent me from excessive stressing
Found a logical outlet and learned some lessons like

[Chorus]
Love is bull sh** , no one can be trusted
Liquor makes me happy so let's get drunk kid
I don't self medicate I self torture
And people can't handle that I'm so forward
Honesty is vital, communication key
Anyone will do anything to feel free
True happiness defines true wealth
And what you hate in other people is what you hate in yourself

The reason I write is cuz I wanna be heard
And for the people who listen to hang onto every word
It seems absurd that I've got so much to say
And that I'd choose to deliver any message this way
But hey, I'm just a poor kid who lives on dreams and luck
Lucks been out for weeks so it seems I'm f*** ed
Speaking up has never been a strength of mine
But when I write I can do it for a length of time
It ain't the rhyme that's got the kids bumping
Its the repetitive hooks that really say nothing
As long as they're paid something these rappers don't give a f***
Can't call them MC's cuz they're not living up
I've given up on mainstream, just tryna improve myself
Cuz knowledge is power and power becomes wealth
And I'd hang on a shelf and receive no recognition
If it meant that one day just one person would listen

[Chorus]

So I write sad songs so you can sing along too
Because I know you've experienced some of what I've gone through
I hold onto the positive but still embrace the past
Cuz negativity has built lessons made to last
I made the grade in class but didn't learn sh**
Spent my time studying respect and how to earn it
I have a firm grip on reality, more than most can say
I'm a humble person, I let the others boast away
I coast through the days and remain strong headed
Know I'm not the only person who's done things I've regretted
Said things I shouldn't have said, its a common mistake
But I wake in the morning knowing I'm not fake
And you can take away from this whatever you want to
But I plan that you get something to hold onto
Music is truth, sugarcoating is lying
And I can't save the world but you can't stop me from trying

[Chorus]
