about

Every emcee has thought about giving up... haven't they?

lyrics

VERSE 1
Tell me, what's the point when everything you do is wrong
It can't always be fixed with a song, think it's time to move on
Packed a bag got a one way ticket, objective, new mission
Try to find someone who listens
There's a distance between me and the world
I just want to be Seleta could care less about the girl
Every time I stand somebody knocks me on my feet
Even the last man standing has to one day take a seat
I'll keep it brief, I ain't here to waste your time
But it seems that's all I'm doin' with mine, turn my life to a rhyme
Who's to say that my opinions even matters?
Amongst the common rappers I get lost among the chatter...
Close the chapter, no happy ever after
Life is not a fairytale my home is not a castle
My voice drifted to the land that goes unheard,
Take me out of the reserves, send apologies to Jerze

BRIDGE
After this I don't think I'm coming back
Never coming back, I'm never coming back
Somebody feel me, craving validation

HOOK x4
Who's to say if I should stay or I should leave
Plight of the emcee, struggle lies inside of me

VERSE 2
Maybe, if I leave it'll spare me of my certain pain
No name so I'm bound to leave with no shame
Thoughts within my brain make me wonder if I'm even sane
Contemplating if my only exit's with a blade
I get so frustrated, how am I supposed to take it?
Others seem so cookie cut while my life's always jaded
I get it now, life has its ups and downs
While riding on the merry go it's hard not to go round
When tryna speak my mind, words get intertwined
Not allowed to press rewind cuz this isn't a cassette
No tape deck so I'm living life with no regrets
Labeled as a threat so of course they wanna see me sweat
I tend to forget, how therapeuatic this could be
Doing this for me see, music is my outlet
Ain't afraid to put my feelings on the page
Maybe someone can relate, here to stay
It's the girl TRE!

BRIDGE
After this they gon' keep on coming back
Keep 'em coming back, I'll keep 'em coming back
Needed a minute, I found my motivation
Embracing that my placement is to go beyond the basement

HOOK x4
