## Lyrics

All I ever wanted was somebody to hear me

And all I ever wanted was somebody to feel me

And everybody wanna tell me that I'm out of my head

When I'm on the mic, that's fine, but that don't scare me

It's been a long time, but I'm back now

Rap pow, welcome to the rap house

Rap pow, will live 'til I pass out

Blackout, blackout, everybody keep on wonderin' if I still rap now

Are you serious?

Anybody out there hearin' this?

Yo, I came in the game as a lyricist

And I'ma leave like that, period

You sniff lines, I write lines

You've now entered in my mind

And you better get ready 'cause you might find

I'm from a different place, and my kind

It's a little bit different than yours is

Quit snoring, hip-hop isn't dead

It's just been in mournin'

From the moment I quit recording

Quick, record this

Listen, I'm warming up and you're misinformed if

You think that I'm slipping up, this ain't sick enough

Then I'll skip the chorus

I've been here, ain't nobody heard of me?

Yeah I'ma turn this beat to a murder scene

I don't live for the world

I live for the King, I live for the King, focus

Wrote this with emotion

It's hard to get a break when the doors ain't open

It's hard to get a shot when the gun ain't loaded

And it's hard to make a living when nobody wanna notice, hold it

What am I insane maybe? Plain crazy

You put me in a room with a mic you will not restrain me

You do what you wanna but you can't contain me, lazy

Is not a character trait of mine, don't wait in line

This is the current condition of my state of mind

(Chorus)

Don't tell me that this isn't real

Don't tell me this ain't how I feel

This is all I have, all I have

All I ever wanted was somebody to get this

All I ever wanted was somebody to play this

Yeah, take my song, put it on their playlist

And get goosebumps every time they play it, rate us

If that's my calling or not, Father, maybe I should just not bother

Go back to that nine-to-five, but I am not a quitter so quit that

I never been a killer but I guarantee I kill tracks

Put them in a coffin, lost in, rip that

Tryin' to make an impact in rap, is that insane?

Well, I guess so

Rap though, better give me that pencil

And you ain't ever gonna make it, it's all mental

I am in a place where I can't let go, agh!

I still work a job and do this, and y'all know what's stupid?

I thought all you had to do was get a record deal, and, your things start moving

But that's not the case, because most of the times—the artists you hear

You keep on thinking that artist is new, but that artist has probably been at it for years

Yeah, in the back of my mind thinking, am I wasting my time dreamin'?

And I ain't got no money in my wallet, but I guarantee there ain't no way that I am gonna leave this

I need this, I swear to y'all, I need this

And this hip-hop's in my veins, if you cut me I'ma bleed it

And, yo, what you think I write raps for? No reason? No

Take my pain and I put 'em in a song—ever since them pills, they took my mom

I've been a different person, don't try to predict my verses

What you're hearing now is me whether I'm in front or behind that curtain

I stand behind these words and, I'm a Christian but I'm not perfect

Don't tell me to calm down, I'm calm now, listen, I'm just working

Yeah, it might take a minute to get it, but once you get it everything will be crystal clear

I don't think they see my vision here, I don't think they see my vision here!

(Chorus x3)

All I have

Don't tell me that this isn't real (this isn't real, this isn't real)

This is all that I have, this is all that I have
