Critical Thinking

[Verse]
Came out my mother's womb, they told me I was so different
Learned at a young age, my life had no certain limit
I could go anywhere really, just up to critical thinking
Looking outside of my mind, I see myself trapped in the future
15 years later, stuck in the college class
Visions of being great, but reality got me slippin'
Professor said "go home, you're not even focused here"
Like what was I thinking about, me being up on a stage
Speaking these powerful words, then it all came to my senses
If I can do a whole project with ****, then it's over
F-fuck being stuck in this class, money was runnin' out
I hopped on that metro bus, I'm feelin' like exodus
Got the music for days, I could just blow up in weeks
I mean they say I'm the one, so why the fuck am I broke?
Like why the hell am I out here, a-always chasing a feeling
Sleeping on homies' couches, n-not a wonderful feeling
They know that I got the potential just to leave with the city
My ego killin' is iffy, might self employ just to get it
Of all the people around me I saw I was destined for greatness
Instead of going to classes, I was writing on buses
I was illest with rhymes, staring at just Staples Center
Knowing my present centered feeling divine every winter
To being the one that they know, to prolly saving the city
They say "Tre, keep going", I'm tryna show 'em my envy
And all I needed was minutes, my hours turned into greatness
Months had turned into minutes, I mean a factor of gimmicks
I mean I'm rapping like Guinness, a couple years could just pass
I guarantee they'll remember, I changed the city forever
(I changed the city forever)
