The 6th track from my 2nd EP "Hold For The Applause"

(Intro: J. Cole)
"Im taking a step back from what, what it took to get me hear and saying yo, lemme re-adjust and re-analyze whats important to me, is it this shit out in Hollywood? or is it what I got back home?"

(Verse 1)
Yea, I feel like Cole talking to me when I listen to him, I feel like the world's walking on me and my life is ruined, but that's just my headspace, I ain't in the best place, but with all this pain ima write till' im the next face of hip hop, my shits hot and when my shit drop come and listen, cuz see im on a mission, just living and wishing for better nights and better days, I take flight and find a better way to live, it's hard being happy knowing someone's shooting crack up in they crib, when you live in a house that don't feel like a home, I rap for those who can relate when they feel alone, put that music on, get up in your zone and fade away, forgive yourself for those mistakes that you might of made today or in the past, man I'm just a human being, reminiscing on memories, recently turned 17 and I know one thing, I'm following all my dreams!

(Hook)
Cuz sometimes I get high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know, sometimes I get high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know...

(Verse 2)
I feel alone in my mind, I feel like i'm going crazy, I question my self at times, I wonder if i'm the same me, my thoughts are all over the place, I don't wanna be a bad person, and I don't wanna feel like I'm hurting constantly, then get the pain out by saying "ain't nobody stopping me," putting other rappers down to feel better about my sound, my skin ain't brown and so they frown when I speak these nouns but right now I pronounce that i'm feeling like the greatest, I hope you play this and put it on your playlist to get out of your mind, get lost in someone else's story, this world is devine and I don't do it for the glory, I just do it for the rhyme, I know sometimes in my mind its hard to realize that i get...

(Hook)
high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know, sometimes I get high, when I feel low and its just to get by, you already know that i'm never gonna die, don't keep it on the low, I'ma live forever in they mind, yes I know...
