In the second volume of this rap book I gotta come crazy
Cat gave me the keys so now I can't be the one who's lazy
Surfing on these beats that are smoother than gravy
If I crash right now I could never say that I was wavy

Getting in my punches over break, call that some spring training
Tryna outrun my issues, I got winded just from trying to keep up with how quickly those guys were running
But at least keeping up with them is showing something
Even though every time I get a rematch I be losing

Nowadays I'm living for a long time and not a good one
Of course I still got times where I be havin too much fun
But it's safe to say that almost everyday I'm just done with everything, I should prolly have a talk with the sun
The way I see it I'll either end in a grave or in jail
Just the sort of thoughts that I be keeping tucked behind the veil

Going through the motions but I'm still not getting 10 yards
You would've thought they wrote butter fingers on my player cards
Getting sacked at every corner but they not tossin money
Devil doin dances in my endzone cuz he think he funny
Always blitzing when the line is open, ooh he lucky
Couldn't catch me in the field chasin goals I'm sneakin like Brady
Daily drills working on my game, thats the winner in me
Soon enough I'd have won myself a life trophy

Keeping on that smile is a way out of this dark place
It's the only hope to keep me pushing to a future date
The void has never left me so I'm searching for the one to fill the space
And it's gone about as good as it sounds with a snail's pace
This emptiness is something I'm thinking that I can't replace
Like putting flowers in a broken kitchen with a fancy vase
I'm growing into shoes that I could never unlace
So I need to fit the pieces quickly or the table will shake

Hit the red button, got the game goin defcon
Ten years ago I only worried bout Pokemon
The typa thoughts I'd get at 9 PM where pretty scary
Had forgotten what I ate to make room for the scenery
Needed that same feeling as those seven goals from Germany
Triple six started his reign of terror over me
There's at least five times he changed who I'd be
But I know for sure I still came out a king
Cause I hit that one triple to secure the ring
So to anyone who continues to doubt where I've gone
I hope you keep that same energy when I'm the one
