ENVY

I've been dropped off a lot, everyone taking my spot, my attention is on dry, everyone around me is lightning off sparks, while I work in the dark, I don't leave a mark, I don't even make the charts, I shoot for the stars, but don't get the part, I'm forced to believe, I have to be you, go to college and make a move, or go to the service and pay my dues, but what I can't explain to you is that, you don't have a clue, for who I work on to be, on a day to day basis, I walk this yellow line, until this line goes faded, I'm honestly jealous, I will admit it, I've been pushing myself to the limit, and called all these labels, like dreamville, aftermath, and so forth, I'm not worth their time, but I speak my mind, that could lead to a crime, but I'm not worth the shine on me, don't show no petty for me, this is the life I chose, this is right for me, just know I haven't accomplish much, but I've accomplished enough, I got a job, I'm working hard, I have a girl, who stole my heart, in the end I'll reach the stars, until then patience is my start, thousands of people in competition, to touch the same goal I'm reaching, I'm not on drugs or alcohol, so you should be happy for that reason, I'm not going to be able to please you all, so leave me to my reason, quit sucking on me like leeches, and giving me these long speeches, because in the end if I don't make it, it wasn't meant to be, but just know if that time does come, I was always working to be the best for me.
