PAST - Locksmith

Shit’s crazy man

How come, how come it’s always the niggas that’s unsuccessful, want to tell you

what to do or give you advice or some shit

(L's on the beat)

Picture me rapping for pennies

Picture me locking myself in my room

As far as raps I had many, but something was holding me back I assumed

That you would understand me, but my voice got lost in the fumes

I had to reassert and reassure myself I’d eventually bloom

Never doubt another man’s drive

Never second guess when you forced to survive

Never underestimate or test the rate another person can ascend when they rise

What’s your demise?

Why would you blatantly comment with latency,

doubting me time after time

Why would I listen to rhetoric, someone so hesitant, scared to take charge of

their life

Fucking with my homies in the east, had to work hard, had to get up in the

streets

Had to take initiative and nix the shit that I once thought was my only way to

eat

Only way to speak is to speak with purpose

Heard your opinion, your shit is worthless

Why would I listen when niggas is losing?

I tell them thanks and just keep it moving

How would I listen?

Them niggas is losing

I heard what you said, I just keep it moving

How would I listen?

Them niggas is snoozing

Bitch!

I just keep it moving

I never try to impress

I go to sleep every night, I feel blessed

I got a bitch every city I rest

I could be bragging, but still I digress

I know these niggas is watching my steps

I know they study and follow my game

You keep comparing your struggle to mine

I’m sorry my nigga we are not the same

Y’all want the fame

I want the money and wealth

I want to keep to myself

I want the freedom to be who I am

And not have to copy or be someone else

I want to speak to my niggas with honesty

Honestly I don’t see how you can help

Fuck all the frivolous shit that they promise me

I’mma keep playing the cards that I’m dealt

How would I listen?

Them niggas is losing

I heard what you said, I just keep it moving

How would I listen?

Them niggas is snoozing

Bitch!

I just keep it moving

Man, these niggas man

This shit just, man, we just, man, this shit is nothing man

J-just wait 'till y’all get the album man

Olive Branch, man

We gonna have fun for now
