Golden State

I got two of my own to raise
So I see past dark and lonely days
Only got one choice, to be the "Phase"
Fuck a dream, I'ma go and see the place
Where the pain will finally fade away
Where the tears run dry and never stay
Where the beef don't sleep it stay awake
I'ma leave my mark and stain the paint
It's simple and plain
Get the bag, pick up a pen
Be a man, stick to the plan
Think with your brain then work with your hands
Think it through before you run and play peek a boo
Look around there are people who
Wanna see you fall to your knees and all
Only to make you beg for a slice of bread
So we fight instead 'til we're likely dead
This reality not fallacy; bring the cavalry
I stay ready for y'all, mental and all
They be like, "damn! This rapper is raw"
And in the booth, I'ma capture it all
And if I happen to fall
I dust off; try again
For every L, it's a thousand wins
I can feel it all around my skin
Sippin' on a ounce of gin
Puffin' on a twenty twen
I'm here bitch! Let me in
Started from the bottom and I'm still down
I stop time, I kill sound
Well-placed time bombs
I warn all forms of heart-torn carbon
Watch ya step
I speak free; they ain't got me yet
It's me against the world so I got to bet
I'ma be right here, you can stop the threats
It's OT or I'm bouncin' checks

I grip the mic, I take control
I live my life, I pay the toll
I make mistakes I can't afford
Won't sell my soul I pray to God
Please! Give me the strength to have no fear at all
I've got my word and my balls, just know that I'm raw
I'm fucking this rap game coming for y'all
I'm new and I'm faded
Surrounded by haters who after my paper; don't do me no favors
I'm shaking 'em off, I'm breaking they ankles
I'm taking the shot, I make every angle
I'm shaking the spot, they say I went AWOL
Who the fuck is they?
Cut 'em all off they suffocate
Hmm...what else what to say
Everything I touch is great this judgment day
I run the place, they run away
Ain't holding weight, they know they fake
No soul to take, they go to waste
Welcome to the golden state
