2 Be (Love Yourself 2)

lyrics

Never could be perfect so I'm deemed a mortal man
Made impulsive decisions but still played my hand
Can't blame the world for my misguided ways
But it's things from my past that scarred me today
Failure breed anxiety, My conscience still bothers me
Fulfilling my prophecy while tryna build a monopoly
Ups and downs on a daily my mind feel like its crazy
Life filmed like Scorsese, its crazy how they made me
Gotta play the good guy even when dangers near
If you can make it out my city, you can make it anywhere
Keep ya eyes on them people who keeping they eyes on you
I rather move independent so I can do what I wanna do
Move how I wanna while vacay'n for summers
Slide to the front of the line without taking numbers
We play the game to win but we all cant make it
Gotta get it how you live cus life is what you make it

2 be free, 2 be alive, 2 be blessed, and good health
It’s only one you.. so love being yourself
It’s only one you.. so love being yourself

Put a hand in this rap shit, still a nigga reaching
Niggas moving sideways but i act like i aint see shit
Niggas gossip like bitches, can't even move they own plan
Instead of getting money, you wanna talk about a grown man
I stand on my own two, ten toes down
I knew some shit that could expose you but I aint make it sound
Thats weird shit, queer shit and I do not condone such
Recording fights and other bullshit, quit pickin ya phone up
I feel bad for the future cus the old heads aint school em
All they did was use em and let the streets abuse em
Ima say what i say but if it fall deaf ears...
Niggas jus gon chalk it to "who really cares?"
Whether any storm no matter ya condition
Even if you down to ya last with no pot to piss in
Shake the negativity and get back in the race
Only you know ya limits when you looking at ya face

From a shelter to the pound block 5541
They called it the jungle cus lil niggas was totin guns
I was new to the vibes but I knew how to survive
Took sum time to adjust, I grew up fast wit the pups
Let’s take it back for a second or two
My friends running the streets, whatchu expect me to do?
In the midst of madness but in my heart was a sadness
I wanted to be accepted but had to learn a few lessons
Couldn’t fake it til i made it cus that eventually break you
All the attention from the fame and they’ll eventually hate you
So I chose to fall back, went to school and got a job
Running the streets wit niggas and rhymin on the side
I wanted to do a jawn wit skee, dot and matic
But for whatever reason that shit never happened
So I went my own way and did my own thang
Had to break out that shy shit and make my own name

When I first start rappin I was rockin wit Loc
But niggas wasn’t recording cus niggas was broke
So I saved a couple dollars and slid down north
Recorded two songs in DJ Franchize jawn

Kept coming back so I can work on my craft
But we getting off topic let me wind this shit back
Blew my first L on Crowson wit niggas
Right in front of Julios posted wit niggas
Don’t get it confused I was the gaming bul
Never claimed to be tough or a dangerous bul
Ain’t no nigga ever chump me or play me wrong
Had a nice lil bitch and I fucked that up.. drawn
But the past is the past so I won’t say yall name
Got me all in my feelings but I don’t play them games
Little do they know this my crowson street flow
We going platinum off the sound cus we untouchable yo
