Joyner Lucas：

Tell me what do you see when you look in my eyes eyes

Got a lot on my mind

Hopin' I never be goin' out of my mind

Been tryna control when I grow out of my prime

I thought I was ready it really wasn't my time I know

I live in my head

I said I'd be rich and I did what I did

But I don't do this **** for me I do this **** for my kids

I teach 'em how to go and get it when they ready to leave

I'm tired of livin' up in hell when I know heaven is free

And nothin' really more important than protectin' the peace

I wanna teach 'em how to grow up and be better than me

When I was chasin' all the paper with no second to breathe

And I tell myself to never give up and accept no defeat

My premonitions already written in definitely

But I never listen I know my vision and never could see

And truthfully I wasn't even supposed to make it this far ayy

I take it this far

I know that God got me I'm thankin' him for yeah

Soon as I get it then I'll be payin' him for it

You know you made it when all the haters support haters support

The haters support yeah

Joyner been workin' and I ain't takin' no shorts

When they tell me be humble then I'ma take in too far

**** I used to feel like Will now I'm feelin' like uh

Made mistakes can't get it right yeah

Niggas can't stand me I'm livin' like ooh

Tryna win the Grammy like killin' my uh

I'm a underdog like Killer Mike yeah

Took a lot of Ls tryna win the fight ooh

Got back up I'm still alright yeah

I be alright I'm still alright yeah

And I don't really care 'bout nothin' except for keepin' my legacy

Hopin' I be livin' long enough to sleep with the enemy

Had to take a shot for every nigga tryna get rid of me

I should take a look inside of my soul and see what they did to me

I got a fire inside me and it's sleepin' within me

When I look inside the mirror all I see is the little me

Wishin' I could break out but I hope the evil no hinder me

If I overcome it then I be achievin' the victory yeah

Logic：

What you really want what it really get

'Cause I remember livin' my life with a milly face

So many gears I thought I had a million ideas

So I had a fire peace and release nonsense

I do it for the art not the content

All I really wanted was the acceptance

Now as a man I can vent this

**** that endless

Do what you love in this life don't let hate in your life

Know they work for a job 'til you eighty

And look back like damn I really done gave 'em my life

If I save just one life with this verse then it's worth it

If this is your future you need to reverse it

Ain't nobody perfect

Man **** all that cake it ain't worth it

Just take what you buried deep down in the dirt and

I know that you heard it

The voice from within not above

So do what you love

Ain't no way I could keep it up feelin' this feelin'

It's creepin' up tellin' me I will not be enough

No wasn't bein' me enough

I think I see enough of what I don't want in my life

Give a damn if it's right it's the reason I write

Need a reason to fight 'cause I need it in sight

With these monsters in sight it get darker than what I would like

But I know I'm alright

Twista：

Ain't nobody you could never know my struggle

As a child goin' through **** way harder to blow than out a bubble

And I know lot of trouble before I got to the lyrical ability

The water that was flowin' out a funnel

Had to channel the aggression and depression

For only a moment when I had to realize rappin' ain't it

When there wasn't no more money from a record deal

I couldn't get another one so I was about to quit

Had to get a job

Didn't wanna be a slob even though I would rather be spittin' bars

Then one day somebody saw me at work and said

Twista why are you in here washin' cars

That hurt my heart

That **** tore me apart

So I prayed up to God

That if I ever got another chance at music

I won't take it granted

I'ma dunk if I get the lot

Rented an AK from Do Or Die

He said come to the studio I'll put you on a song

Start my new gig in the mornin' but I'ma come after

This is my chance to get back on

Thankful that I was livin' at my brother's house

But it weren't my own

So I'ma finna go in

I walked in the lab and the beat was by Crackster

Title of the song was Po Pimp

I said ooh snap

I told 'em I'm about to jack

Spittin' funky like I'm a MAC

I'ma come off so hard on this track

It's gon' change my condition and change the way people rap

Might be broke as **** and collectin' no dough from tips

But be spittin' more game than a mouth full of poker chips

And I was glad that the world recognize how ** this is

And the prayer was effective

If you stressed and depressed let this come and soak in your brain

First time that I ever played Po Pimp for somebody

I was on the way to work on the train

And I didn't quit it 'til the record was droppin'

But when I did it I knew it was right

'Cause through my prayers and my faith and my words

It get darker than what I would like but I know I'm alright
