2015 Jhene Aiko Sample Eternal Sunshine *Prod. By Shayne Pizano*

My first encounter with adversity, was somewhat an emergency /
I fell off the path and my mental it needed surgery / 
The more I stumbled off the more my actions started erking me/ 
I got it together and the top looked like my turf to be/

They think money rules I'm rich and I'm done with school/
My problems still exist so don't listen to none them fools /
For currency they runnin they lives into paid in full /
I took a task and made it cash now my path done became cool/

My life came full circle at the park was throwing left hooks/
Now I'm in the league with steph curry and Russell Westbrook /
Took a couple bumps boy you never would see my chest shook /
My heart came from a lion this path only the best took/

I want to check the critics /
Cuz all the things they knit pick/
They always seem to skip where he started this ascension/
I like reciprocity (huh ) but that ain't what they give him/
I did it from the jump but you stumble they pay attention /

Aware of my surroundings at all times a wall fly/ 
I spot a coward a mile off no small mind/
Put that pressure all on my shoulders return with hulk spine/
A hot head when they rain on my parade Let my thoughts dry /

Experience in my life, prepared me for the high life/
All the times I struggled just prepared me for the highlights/
Use to circle shoes in eastbay now mine on fly sites/ 
And we can toast to that my circle sharing a Mai Thai /

My dad been kickin game since I was young I been a sponge bro/
Hunnit wads in my pocket, it's covered by the ones tho/
Never flex my muscle don't welcome me to the gun show/ 
Never show its done just take care of who it's done fo'/ 

The dream free but the hustle sold seperately/
I been knew I was only as solid as who was next to me/ 
My cousins , my few good friends , the rest a X to me / 
Cuz bad crowd is only a recipe for rest in peace/

I stand out cuz I'm a soldier in a suckas game/ 
That paparazzi tryna shine me boy I'm duckin fame/
Some dudes call and set it up and boy that's such a shame/
The only time I really stunt is in my stunna frames/ 
Sheesh

I love my life from the good to the bad/
Feel good to live with riches when comin from rags/ 
I paint a picture boy just give me that pen and that pad/ 
City in pieces motivating the kids with the scraps ... Gone

Catch me when i fall beats by sted feazzy
