This world will make you grind or die
I just want to chill and get live and vibe, and I can't
lay back and not live out my dreams
and I won't stop now I got to do this for me
while this world try to make me grind or die
I just want to chill get live and vibe, and I can't
quit now while in feeling a buzz
and I won't stop now I got to do what I love

It's getting hard to take this weight on my shoulders
man I'm baked every night, I can't fall asleep sober
while time moves faster every day I'm feeling older
hoping that this 9 to 5 life could be over
but i made it living good without being rich or famous
nice gated neighborhood but it's a bitch to maintain this
lifestyle I'm living, can't coast, man i'm itching 
being haunted by the ghosts of these old dead ambitions
but that was then, this is now
found a means to an end that been filling my accounts
while I seen my dreams fade, man I let myself down
need to make myself proud, grab this mic and get loud
and ya'll might think that I should grow up or that i'll never blow up
for anybody quick to judge I give no fucks
see I won't never budge when push comes to shove
stay puffin on this bud while I'm doing what I love

Love
its all too complicated 
time is all I want
I’ll watch everything else fading
losing control of this moment that I’ll never get back
I’d own it but I could get that lease on it 
to be honest I’m still zonin 
what I know is it’ll be gone when I come to focus 
how many times fore I notice this path is the one I’ve chosen 
in fact it wouldn’t be so bad 
if I hadn’t been after gold when I started 
now its all just a cathartic insult to art 
is it worth the crutches imparted 
if part is crushing the heart 
and its hard to cushion the blow 
when I keep pushing til I push to far 
its what solely been keeping me going 
but slowly beginning to grow 
into the only source of control 
and its funny what you can blow
when you sitting waiting and wishing 
that everything here was different 
but never wanted to listen to your own damn advice

See all the drive I had to make it faded then I got complacent
upgraded in a spacious condo from out the basement
I was stationed with my mom and dad, mid twenties jaded grad
I ain't had it bad but it was time for me to be a man
doing less work on these tracks that make necks hurt
to build a bit of net worth from knowledge of these networks
but following that path broke the fast and the hunger
I crashed from livin lax now I'm back up out the slumber
getting crackin with the thunder, I'm zues on the track
sparking lightning in the booth bring the underground back
till I'm flying so high with my head up in the clouds
I stay proud grab this mic and get loud
and nevermind if I dont make a dime, Ill do this for free 
this is how I unwind I make music for me
so while these geeks is caught up who taking the biggest cut
I stay puffin on this bud simply doing what I love
