Homeless

[Hook] I used to feel hopeless, then I got focused Once my dude Focus..., said rap like you homeless He said, rap like you homeless He said, rap like you homeless I said, I'ma try [Verse 1] Look, now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my soul to keep And if I die before I wake I'm thankful I have food to eat A place to stay, and in the winter there was heat And I had garments I could wear, shoes or sneakers for my feet I didn't starve, wasn't touched Wasn't battered, wasn't beat I'm not a cripple, not retarded Look ,before I get too deep See I'm just saying that I'm blessed But being blessed don't make me weak And my success is not contingent on possessions when I speak It's for a place, where the kids gotta pour for their eyes To have a beverage, cause they deaded all they water supply The expectancy of life, is around 35 in my hood But in some countries, it's an honor to die It's from a place where you struggle and the curtain is your table cloth Your kitchen is your dining room, they keep cutting the cable off This is where my verses get dangerous, and the safety's off Riddled with regret and we stressing out from the days we lost Or we dealing with a crazy boss, stuck on a lazy course Or tired of hearing prayer talk Realized that what I called hard living, was baby soft Unsung maybe, but that was the way I came across Now when I be playing Ross I don't feel stupid Used to think it's unfair that I do spirit moving music Used to lose it, but you choose it Cause you it's proven that the truth is still the food you should consume I'm mixing humor with the tutoring or I bring you pain like it's a tumor, or a rumor But I rap it like for half my life I lived without a room It's like a Michael took flight, and started walking on the moon I woke up reaching for the sun, so I could talk with all the goons And you could see what I envision, picture sitting in the park Tryin' to make a living moving white after dark If steppin' on a crack can break your mother's back Imagine, instead of stepping you selling you'd break her heart [Hook] [Verse 2] My words come together so ill, I deserve sentencing Words coming together, that's a sentence With an exclamation point Cause a period means an ending And I'm far from being finished, they spitting I'm out here hemorrhaging It's evident, I never been hesitant when I represent Myself and the creator I'm heaven sent, got no benefits So when I said I'm sick with the flow Although I need medicine at times All I had was these rhymes, see I was negligent A 9 to 5 is how you survive, my dude's is peddling My mother was my hero, or better yet my heroine The weather's been, stormy malevolent And the present tense is all I focus on that's my emphasis So remember that sentence I was mentioning? Just know I never fail look Look, before I go to jail, I would probably grow a tail And get a part with my name , in the back of my head They only praise how you rap when you dead But so what? I rhyme with no pot to piss in My dollar mission is not consistent My obvious opposition is poverty, I'm efficient I promise My competition is not who you like to listen to I just think my position is loving the life I'm living The industry, it cannot control me My path ain't been rosey, my Facebook status is holy That's half of the story, I'm mad you don't know I'm happy you owe me, I laugh when I'm lonely I'm [?] I'm going left Holding my breath, let my soul interject In every line, anytime that I show you my depth Or let you know, you should know that I know I'm the best It's like I'm closer to death with a gaping hole in my chest And a microphone in my face I don't know what you rep But every month I've been consistent you should show me respect For real Doubt me, and you defeat yourself I love the new me, every day I meet myself I battle mirrors, try to beat myself You wanna make me history ,well history repeats itself Like Sha Stimuli the greatest You can't rate it on a scale of 1 to 10 he's a 16 Used to write 16 to sound like he was homeless at 16 What I offer is authentic, there's no denial You rapping to buy an auto, I'm rappin' my auto bio Good... God...
