lyrics

Everyday struggle is the truth man
Small chances are falling in and out of the right hand
Any day might be one that I land
But it seems like it’s becoming less of the truth man
Records coming out that sound like nothing
People buying it thinking that it’s something
Worthwhile, but it doesn’t deserve a reaction
Marketed as mainstay, really a distraction
Marketed as talented, really just a fraction
Of others, nothing like me and my brothers
All the theatrics and unseen covers up the real
All these lazy kids just looking for a deal
But I take all that and crush it under heel
No, wait, tell how you really feel
I feel restless
I wanna be seen like a star, but really Hesperus
MCs that don’t know me, I leave them breathless
Ambidextrous, I put in work
Don’t need to confess this
Polite in hallways, but on beats, I’m reckless
You know this, you notice I’m different
I’m no English major but I leave writers quivering
Because I’m always delivering what I deem to be rigorous to my mind
Or philosophically magnificent
I’m diligent with rhymes because my voice is my instrument
