The Storm

End of the storm, know that
Moral of the story, Im too mentally strong, told that
A million times, feel like I was meant to be on
Took some losses, now it's time to get my victory on
Don't party much but tonight I'll put this Hennessy on
This bucket of ice
Found my way through the dark, I won't get lost in the lights
I got here running on E, I can't get gassed off the hype
Tell me what's louder than words put into action
A little time away now you hear the difference that's happened
Never been as gifted
Somehow I still made it rapping
Ain't one to follow the trends, I'm always the latest fashion
They set standard I only surpass it
I'm new to this except I sound like I've always had it
The mumble rap just leave me room for saying what matters
Don't post my every move, I rather upgrade my status than tell the masses
So much to say, only right we start with the non sense
They formulate opinions about me off lack of content
Somebody close told me she don't see on't see music working out
Had to forgive her, she don't know what I'm abooouuuttttt
My life is full of things that ain't play to my favor
I been through hell and discovered a way I could come out greater
I ain't programmed like they are I'm really just that much beta
A stronger version of self really all that's behind each layer
That's why... I only get better each time I peel off
This is ain't an album cut I'm still getting my demo reel off
Ma I promise our break through on the horizon
Know your son has got a lot more left inside em
Hundred Days is on the way!
And I'm here to stay

Guess I'm back in my bag but
You gon have to double this one, I done got my weight up
We just made it happen nobody ever ok'd us
They never question my hunger I put it all in the cadence
's why I ask if they really hear what I'm saying
This is all in writing my life play out in verbatim
I ain't up in her DMs I'm up from PM to AM
I could fear what lies ahead but my future is my creation look
Off the radar and manage to set it off
You on't gotta put me on
I'm headed straight to the source
Well of course
These words will never be at a loss
Imma bridge the gap and leave no room for them to floss
Try to brush me off, I'm shore as a wave
Not to cave when my path get rocky
I'm creed no Apollo-gies
Please - in it for the long stretch like I'm out of reach
Wrote my own script, how the hell you 'xpect to plot on me
How the hell you 'xpect to plot on me

You gotta, find yourself while they compare you to others
You gotta, act like you got it while you still undiscovered
You gotta, invest in fashion while you lie to your mother
You gotta, give to the homeless even when it's your brother
Through the, circumstances gotta know what you're worth
Tell em' you good even when you know that you're hurt
Give em your best even when you're down to your worst
Keep all your pain locked in and spaz on a verse
You gotta, show up to work tired faking like you excited
Slowly go insane from the motions and try to hide it
Watch the rest progress while you patiently wait in silence
Put the needs of others in front of yours out of kindness
Then wonder if that's a weakness
Not the kind that people take advantage of, the kind that sets limits on your achievements
And even when you're drained from the 17 hour shifts you been working
You keep it pushin cause you just that kind of person you gotta
Have some ups, followed by some downs
Followed by another year that you don't make a sound
It's taking all your patience to keep the faith in your process
You work in silence until they mistake it for lack of progress
It's either drop and remind them who they forgot
Or let them keep assuming you stopped
Either way it fall no one else me
You wasn't with me thru the storm
