Feels somethin' like
x3
I solemnly swear, what I perform in the booth, all of it is truth
Goes somethin' like this
(Verse 1)
Uh, to whoever it may concern, if you listenin', I'm lookin' for a place to turn
see it seems like, this is all I want out of life, but it's the other way around, I wanna do right
But it's moreso a question of responsibilities, so the lights stay on, but my conscience is killin' me
gettin' my Mariano on, pitcher perfect, still inside, I fear the Lord like "is it worth it?"
Huh, at first I say "no", but when I open my closet, it makes say so - f*** it
and this is hustler haven, see I'm not alone, 'cause he would say that I got faith, or I got a home
So I ask God if he still love us, I don't always wanna be this drug dealin' ma'f***** but
I was playin' on, with opposite plans and I ain't even have the decency to wash my hands
(Chorus)
So he spoke through the clouds like
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
I said nevermind the mistakes, and he said
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
I said I'm tryin' to get through them gates, and he said
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
I said I'm tryin' to switch my ways, and he said
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
(Verse 2)
Searchin' for a way out of the bottom, without shootin' the 3, or tryin' to serve product
I'm really just tryin' ta defy the odds, a 9 to 5 is callin' me, but I'm tryin' ta dodge
I really wanna do the school thing, the so called not cool thing, 'cause I'm gettin' tired of movin' things
so maybe Howard or Morehouse or Clark-Atlanta, but all of my friends peddle crack and spark hammers
I told 'em we could still be hood and do somethin' more wit our lives and they all look surprised like
"Wasn't you the same ma'f*****?", "That showed us how to cook up and cut the b***er?"
I said "yeah but I guess I sort of had an epiphany", "I'm tryin' to take this ride, and ya'll don't wanna trip wit me?"
Got into NC Central and I was glad, I ripped my acceptance letter in half
[Chorus]
'Cause my dudes kept tellin' me
[Sample]
Boy, stop fooli'n yourself
Boy, stop
Tried to change my grind and they replied
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
I said "you changed wit time," and they was dyin' like
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
So I changed my mind, and stayed outside like
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin yourself
Boy, stop
(Bridge)
They say you are what you are, and you been what you been, played the corner so long, I blend with the wind
mind over matter, money from the grind is a factor, tryin' to get it wit mines gon' matter
You are what you are, and you been what you been, played the corner so long, I blend with the wind
mind over matter, money from the grind is a factor, tryin' to get it wit mines gon' matter
(Chorus)
'Cause everything else is really like
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
I'm playin' tug 'o war wit myself like
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
'Cause if I try to call for some help it's like
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
Scared to go to the Lord for help like
[Sample]
Boy, stop foolin' yourself
Boy, stop
So I just say f*** it
x3
I solemnly swear, what I perform in the booth, all of it is truth
Goes somethin' like
