Introspection (Outro)

(CHORUS)

What would you try to do if you was me?
What would you try to do if you was me?
Would you sit up on the side and watch just like a movie scene
Or make a move to go pursue all of your truest dreams?

What would you try to do if you was me?
Really... What would you try to do if you was me?
Would you sit up on the side and watch just like a movie scene
Or make a move to go pursue all of your truest dreams?

(VERSE 1)

Life up in The Bay and LA is so new to me
On the brink of something big it's suiting me suitably
Told myself it's time to go and chase what you deserve
Fuck the moon and the stars I'm taking the universe

It's already bad enough I'm dealing with Lucifer
Now I've made some enemies and I know that they're soon to lurk
Been so sedated lately I don't what is what?
Tangled in the middle of bullshit playing double dutch

Metaphor for how I'm caught up in the whirlwinds
I'm Screaming "Asential!" until the world ends
Took so many L's it's time I get my first win
Used to feel worthless til I found purpose in these verses

Shit ain't perfect but that's just how life works
When I give you that real shit just know that it might hurt
Been the villain because my city treated me like dirt
Life a bitch I've fucked her raw then gave her my white shirt

My Momma was blind first, now her neck and spine hurt
Watching that since 9 had me I cry until my eyes hurt
Ironic while my dad and brother fighting and it ain't getting better
Conflicted to make a difference cuz this can't be forever...

(CHORUS)

So What would you try to do if you was me?
I gotta know What would you try to do if you was me?
Would you sit up on the side and watch just like a movie scene
Or make a move to go pursue all of your truest dreams (2x)

(VERSE 2)

That's just the way it is... The way it goes
And as I'm saying this.. Hope that you save your soul
We gotta save the kids cuz they too young to pay the toll
I'll be the shepherd for em so I can pave the road

Show that there's more to life and beauty in the struggle
I've been thru so much shit that truly I am humbled
Coming out a Community that is troubled
Moved to the west and opportunities done doubled

Until we meet again I've been on this odyssey, fulfilling this prophecy
Nobody is stopping me so
Somebody Tell me something that I don't know
Every day I'm Feeling next up nigga I hope so

This that shit to ease ya mind to shove Complacency
Ever since a little one that shit just ain't for me
So Please Keep ya negative energy away from me
So determined you can't stop who or what I aim to be

Still gotta get my momma new crib
And Take my dad out that taxi to put him in a new whip
I swear the ones who the talk the most be the ones that don't Do shit
I'd told everyone i'd make it now it's time to prove it

Can't let the cycle repeat and forever complain
So I broke it knowing that all of the pleasures I'll gain
Will be enough to feed the fam despite the Pressures it brings
But I'd rather go and risk it all than to Never had changed and that's real....
