So They Say

I don't know if I'm doing this in vain, yeah But I swear that this shit be in my veins This shit starting to drive me insane, yeah I just want the money I don't even need the fame What if the shit I make is actually lame And that's why it ain't took off like a bullet train What if I ain't as good as I think I am, yeah All this gold on my neck like who do I think I am? Complex wiring and circuitry gave me emotions Connected to my brain from which that came all the notions I'd be a liar if I said I didn't fill my mind with doubt I'd be a liar if I didn't get my truth out Now I done rapped my heart out and threw the roof out And I done rapped so hard I swear I spit a tooth out That hourglass ain't givin' me no time back Talk to my nana wit' her cigarettes and wine glass And she said Everything happens for a reason So they say But honestly I don't know what to believe in these days Seasons change, people change Talk to my niggas and they told me don't trip Cause you the captain of your own ship My girl be goin' through it sometimes I feel helpless Racing with my friends like damn how can I help this? I just wanna be wealthy, buy shit I couldn't afford I still live within my means, I drive a Honda Accord I take 87 gas, I'm not a regular nigga Support black bitches, breaking bread with all of my niggas I ain't gon' stop till I pile several figures Retire when I'm tired, go figure (go figure) Everything happens for a reason So they say But honestly I don't know what to believe in these days Staring in the dark, my thoughts haunting me all at night I done been so broke I done put my pockets in rice I don't keep a stank face I try to keep it polite Speeding Donatello I'm headed straight towards the light Everything happens for a reason So they say But honestly I don't know what to believe in these days Seasons change, people change Talk to my niggas and they told me don't trip Cause you the captain of your own ship (You are the captain of your own flight today)
