I never felt this strong, never felt this compelled to write a song
But I lost too much in too short of time, I gotta let it go through a rhyme
I wake to news everyday linked to money, company, linked to scandal and it all
rests on me
My shoulders never felt so strong but yet weak, my mind never seemed so obsolete
Wuz always ahead of my time and ahead of my age
Now I feel years back and afraid Yeah I am scared of the decisions I made
Scared the decisions made me and not the other way
I take confidence and credit for my successes but ignore and deny what I have done to cause regret and depression
Hustla, Gangsta, or Poet
I don't know but know I will not lose life by forfeit
My defeat must only come from error, I feel no remorse from loss
Cause I seen this all before
**** it all I am a fighter
I'll win some, lose some, and still come back for more
Think it's easy to be me then slide into my 9 point 5
then see if you can walk my stride, it ain't so easy B
So **** you all and your misconceptions of me
I don't eat for you and you don't **** for me
Get it
It's all different but yet it's all the same, it's all perception
**** it, it's all a game we all want fame
With fame kid comes pain so tolerance creates the size of your name
My name may just be a sample of my way, I took it all on
I stayed sain, stayed tough and lost much
Let me sum it up
Homie you ain't gain nothin without losin somethin
So see my wins but recognize my losses
Now homie recognize who the boss is
