I don't need many words when I rhyme I was raised on Slim Shady, Emicida, Linkin Park and Kendrick in my mind I'm not the best in the game yet, I know that's the truth But every day I'm getting closer, every line is my proof Because every war in this life starts inside the mind Stay strong, stay patient, everything aligns with time I work nights, I work days, no complaining, no chill Life's just another shift that I carry with will When I think about it, yeah, I earned the right to talk Everything I got came from sweat and the walk I had friends that were never really friends from the start Took me years just to see who was fake in the heart Any trash in your life, man, you cut it away Let it go, let it die, don't let poison stay Evil? You cut that evil straight down at the root Good? That's a seed that you water with truth Now I see empty people living lives that look grand But they paying with a loneliness they barely can stand Then I see brilliant minds living stuck in the dirt While the system rewards all the power and the hurt But the harvest is coming, yeah, the truth's on the way And when it hits the world it won't be gentle that day So the question is simple, tell me straight if you will Are you ready for the storm Or you folding for real? I can separate wheat from the lies and the fraud No mercy for impulses feeding chaos and flaws Some battles I paid for with sweat and with blood Other wars I'll pay with courage rising like a flood So pray you don't stand in my way with dark thoughts in your head 'Cause I'll break through anything that stands where I tread Every wall, every storm, every shadow I face I'm walking straight toward destiny, picking up pace Mark my words I wasn't born just to exist I came here to leave a mark Unpredictable mind Unbreakable will You won't see me coming But when I hit, you'll know it's me Mark my words I wasn't born just to exist I came here to leave a mark Are you ready for the storm Or you folding for real? I can separate wheat from the lies and the fraud No mercy for impulses feeding chaos and flaws Some battles I paid for with sweat and with blood Other wars I'll pay with courage rising like a flood So pray you don't stand in my way with dark thoughts in your head 'Cause I'll break through anything that stands where I tread Every wall, every storm, every shadow I face I'm walking straight toward destiny, picking up pace Mark my words I wasn't born just to exist I came here to leave a mark Unpredictable mind Unbreakable will You won't see me coming But when I hit, you'll know it's me
