this for my women infatuated w low end
sit at home on a saturday like i'm snowed in
working hard just to isolate all my close friends
still in chapel hill i could really go get a show &
get the whole fuckin city to go and show up
hold up
fans got me poppin off like a soda
cap
when you shake the shit
ask when i'll make it big
chance 50/50 dude stats what i major in, true
half what i rap ain't accessible
ain't gotta tell you it's weed money painkillers
change ain't acceptable
still make the beats make you crank up the decibels
wait i could flex a lil too
got a couple rhymes i could flex a lil too
but i missed the point [of] getting checks if it comes at the cost of integrity
pray that ain't never me
pray that ain't never me too

* in case i don't make it/
there's a motel still waiting *

i can't tell you that i'm credible that's something you earn
can't prove to you it's genuine that's something you'll learn
turn back to my early shit
love songs and movie scripts
worried that i'm losing it
hurrying to screw the missing screws up on this record but it's true that if
the record flops i might not get a shot to do again
might get some love if i go with some proven shit
why catch a buzz just to lose it quick though
so it's
the rise of the artsy twentysomething
saw that water rise up to the ceiling when my home got flooded
drove me up to chapel hill and still
there's mold on the back of the paintings where i stay now
ain't no way to forget where you came from
& the second that you think that it'll never change
you're at a motel watching tv as the levees break
a decade late
i figured out in life you never run
nah despite the shit you lose you try and find a better one

* so in case we don't make it/
there's a motel still waiting/
to wash yourself clean & find what it means/
to dry it off & try it all again *
