Pencil prowess (Uh), can’t doubt it
'Long as I can get you talkin' about it (Yeah)
Head clouded, I get around it
Just like digital underground did
When I’m down, I get back up
Keep my head down, go until I feel that rush (Uh)
Break my bones for the shit I love
No matter the toll, I will not budge
Huh, you know I’ll go down for mine
I keep my friends close that way no doubts in mind (Yuh)
I’d rather be on my own with a crowd alike
Then be caught in the middle of a thousand liars
'Cause I been there before, can’t count the times (Huh?)
Been surrounded by frownin' eyes
Lookin' at me with the callous kind
That waits 'til you fall 'fore thеy reach out and try
To give you some hеlp (Bitch), knowin' damn well
They could’ve given that shit beforehand
Well, oh, well, it’s all well if all ends well
Well, I’m better than I ever was if y’all can’t tell (Yeah)
I been stuck in a daze but I broke that spell (Huh?)
Gone are the days where I hope I will
No more callin' in late for my own show
Now that I’m holdin' the game in a chokehold (Ckk)
This ain’t no up, down, left, right type (What?)
Video game you try and find
All the cheat codes on a site, life
Don’t work that way 'til you climb high enough
You don’t get a choice 'til you work for one
I’ve learned that’s one thing I’m certain of, and I’m (What?)
Sure I’m on my way, and if I ever make it
You’ll know I deserve it 'cause

Mmm
I don’t know what they expect from me
Put my all into some shit you prolly never see
A lot of bullshit goin' on behind every scene
So I stay true to myself through it all but
I don’t ever want to be hero
Rely on me to give you the cheat code
Sometimes I wonder and think, "What am I here for?"
And other times I don’t give a fuck, I switch

I go my own way (Huh)
Like a fuckin' Toyota Ad on my soul train
Oh, what a feelin' I feel, I feel so great
While you’re stuck behind my blockade (Huh)
It’s a different me with the same old past
Wanna thank old me for the way I am
Oh, they don’t know but they can
Mistakes I’ve carried, got a broke back now (Uh)
I wanna get some shit off my chest (Uh)
Enemies passed, I give 'em my best (Uh)
Even the ones in the present I guess
Same story with a similar narrative
And I invite you to read it (Yuh)
Too deep for me to try and speak it
As I fight through these demons
Why you thinkin' you can try and perceive 'em? (Huh)
I don’t know you (Nah), you don’t know me
Let’s keep it that way, homie
My trust is a homebody and no
I don’t need consoling
I don’t fuck with these phonies
So there’s nothin' you can show me (Nah)
You’re struck with a foreboding
Emotion before I start runnin' this whole thing (Yeah)
Keep me an entourage of these memories
Walkin' with me after dark
And they keep with me 'cause I fathered them
So basically, I’m apart of them
I take a look at what I've become
The me now, well, I’m fine with him
The mirror looks back with a cautious grin
And I do too, like "You started this!"

Mmm
I don’t know what they expect from me
Put my all into some shit you prolly never see
A lot of bullshit goin' on behind every scene
So I stay true to myself through it all but
I don’t ever want to be hero
Rely on me to give you the cheat code
Sometimes I wonder and think, "What am I here for?"
