Piece of Mind
[Verse]
I know it started with a dream
Soon enough became my life
I ain't got no fuckin plans
For the future
School isn’t for me
I don't wanna be confined
But I'm up against the rocks
No pewter
I just wanna live free
But I soon realized
I can’t pay the bills
Chris Gardner
All I know is that I'm gonna be
That motherfucker going live
They'll remember me forever
King Arthur
Motherfucker standing at the bridge
Looking down from the top
It's a long way
But he know he never gonna drop
Working every day to make it off the block
Don't stop
Let the music take control
And just watch
Don't you see I got my back
Against the record machine
Working food busting my ass
For chump change in 2 weeks
Never changing anything
Or adding to the routine
Felling greedy out the bottom
You can call me Eugene
Too weak, wanna run
But can't afford to leave
Lose sleep losing touch
Of dreams, counting blue cheese
Fuck waking up to work a 9 to 5
Not the time
Everyday I'm trying just to
Feel alive
Purchasing equipment
Never thought I’d get before
Steady flow of income
But I still don’t wanna go
I just wanna write rhymes
But I never get the time
Think it's fine
Questioning if I am out of my mind
[Chorus x2]
Aye, fuck an honor roll
Strolling down the road
Sold my soul
To get what I did
My mind gon explode
I’m too close to throw
My life out the door
And work till I'm split
I don't know
Nowhere to go
No place called home
Nowhere
To live life so big
So right now I'm pinned
Down to the ground
Taking shots but I just miss
[Verse 2]
Ain’t no promotion ever gonna make me
Permanently happy
Started loathing going in but shit
I got no back up plans he
Really fucked himself over before
He had a chance to snap but
He ain't stopping until people pay
Excessively to dap me
People tell me that I'm crazy
I should open my eyes
And realize it's unlikely
No matter how hard I try
But bitch I'm sick of waking up
To work my time 9-5
Everyday I lose a piece
Of my mind I'm tired
Close to open
Man fuck that shit
Clothes are worn
Torn up and ripped
Oh he rolling
That bum ass whip
Knows his lows
But no one can live
Sanity deteriating
By the minute
Falling in the void
Sinking deep down in it
Searching for a change
But nothing happening I miss it
Shit was nice when it started
But I'm reaching my limit
