lyrics

It turns out the journeys longer than advertised
Especially to a competitor never satisfied
They cheer for you till they can't feel for you
Pissing em off when they used to break the seal for you
Just to keep the ball rolling
I've invested way more than I'm holding
Past, future and this particular moment
They still ask WHY I told em I didn't notice
I'm focused on the volume of ulterior motives
The world on ya shoulders since 2008
I learned every position from the board to the stage
Watched you list a couple artists right above my name
Then watched em fumble key positions that they couldn't sustain
I see diminishing returns
From a landscape painted out to be a better version
Of the same shit we did & it still didn't work
Reengineered the wheel wit my boots in the dirt
Emerged from it all without a stain on my shirt
While on enemy turf
I gathered Intel before the guards came to search
Came back to the village & contemplated it's worth
Then gave it out for free & watched the jealousy emerge
I've given every room my theoretical shirt
Then shivered in the cold after giving you a verse
The type that can't promote they own death at a church
Got the most commentary bout superior work
I exist in the view between
Those milliseconds that can change what a moment means
They minimize every accomplishment for self esteem
If we ain't careful their perception is what you believe
This is... Number 30 pointing to his 4th ring finger
Champ demeanor in a sold out arena
Why aren't you famous yet ain't a question for longevity
I never had an interest in the brevity of it
I'm more concerned with the blessings that's bestowed
And them tray tables stowed
On a Boeing cross the globe
Detaching from personas we mistakenly behold
And narratives the editor can't possibly control
