The Clouds

My momma see the clouds and wonder when she getting there Like she done done it all, looking up at heavens' stairs Everybody's time coming, better get prepared I see the clouds and feel at home, cause my head is there Life is but a dream, live if 'fore it disappear The parade will pass you by if you sit and stare My mans told me that my talent levels very rare, But just having talent 'ain't enough to get you there While you was out there chasing girls, drinking beer, somebody else was out there really getting theirs You gotta turn it up if you wanna win this year I said “"hell yeah," that's all I need to hear” My bio says Ohio, I handle business here Athough, I 'ain't been inspired by it in a year Too tired of the infighting with my peers While our mouths was running, the art was sitting still All this beef only stops us from getting bread We just gettin' by, we never get ahead Consider this rhyme the realest shit I ever said "Gotta go for mine cause I ain't got 50 years" All we wanna do is talk about shoes and gear Sounding like chicks talking about their nails and hair I guess it's easier than talking about what's really there We lost three Columbus icons within a year So I ain't about to do the same record, different year I used to be in that lane, but now I'm steering clear I ain't gassed up, I'm just switching gears Cause in this game going slow won't get you anywhere I want the illest crib even though I'm barely here I ride through the flyest neighborhoods just to stare Feeling like I can't chill until I'm living there If you feel me let me see a finger in the air Every year I swear the haters get more vocal Dudes is calling me fake because I'm not social But this can come to an end if I'm not focused So if it 'ain't about the biz then it's not important I don't care about the after-party that you hosting; I don't care about the softwhite and who snorts it I don't care about the fist fight and who caught it, Cause at the end of the day, man that's all gossip Fuck all the drama, I'm a real artist I do this shit without any feedback or comments I'll diss anybody from the largest to the smallest And they won't say shit because my album is the hardest I'll start in '88, then bring you up to date Then skip ten years ahead so you don't have to wait I'm what the future sounds like and I'mma make you see it I'm so ahead of the game that people think I'm cheating But once you really see it, it 'ain't all that hard The rap games like Vegas, I'm just countin cards Sittin' at the table, 'bout to defy the odds And I 'ain't scared at all, because the world is ours
