lyrics

I'm doin' time, check the fluid rhyme,
Yes the truest, I'm, spittin' lyrics so influenced by Sublime,
And I'm inclined to handle the mic with positivity,
And solid energy, spit with the spirit of the kid in me,

I'm pretty young but I’ve been through a little bit,
Seen a little too much and lost a big chunk of my innocence,
I vow to never be a fuckin' lyrical hypocrite,
Never write about stackin' bills or the number of chicks I get,

But I'm unsigned and therefore I'm illegitimate,
Writing these words to myself, 'cause probably no one will hear this shit,
I mean some people might hear it, but really who's gonna listen,
I'm out to get myself in with this underground competition,

Don’t need the money the fame or the media recognition,
I need the people to feel me the way I do when I listen, I'm doin' time…

I said your ego is not your amigo

Im doin' time, college student grind,
Gotta make the grade, dreamin' bout the stage with music on my my mind,
But man it's hard to handle the workload upon my shoulders,
It feels like I'm liftin' up twenty ton titanium boulders

And shit, it seems insomnia's the only thing that’s stable,
Getting to bed before four in the morning's just a fable here,
Livin' in dorms, six page papers, and back to back classes here,
While nerds with glasses surpass us, and crazy-ass teachers harass us

But I'll stick to it, tuition’s the main ambition,
Gotta pay my parents back eventually, man that’s the mission,
But sometimes the mission feels like it's mission impossible,
Classes are draining, plus it's so easy to be irresponsible,

But I'll survive, boy I'm on my grind,
I'll break you off one of these muthafuckin' rhymes

I said your ego is not your amigo
