Ascension

[Intro]

Uh-uh uhh, Uh-uh ooh

Uh-uh uhh, Uh-uh ooh

Uh-uh uhh, Uh-uh uhh, Ya ya ya

Maybe my heroes had it wrong all along...

But I could do better babe...

Aye aye aye

Lord lord

Aye

[Verse 1]

Aw man, aw man, uh

Tell me where I should began, uh

Lately my memories escape me

But I catch you up with it as much as I can, uh

Pacing myself cuz I'm chasing the day

Got places to work on my hands

Showed her the me and the dream

It seems so lucid but I understand

This, all a part of the show

We die for the glory

Get buried and live through the court, thats all

Niggas send you a dream

Nothing feel better than being important, huh

They tell you are thangs

Tug at your heart strings

Didn't get you the arcade

Do you think you saw things

Then its back to the corner

Selling this, shes like Patrick you wanna

Turn around, but its tragic, you want her

Me and viet, i'm a rapper persona

Thinking back when I lived with my mama

Hold up wait I still live with my mama

Gotta thank her for keeping me humble

But these niggas still acting like I ain't the shit

And I can't be in that place much longer

Please forgive me for who I am becoming

I look back, let me go if you love me

I pray that I never step out of my woman

Because she saw me when I was there on the edge

Ready to jump, she brought me back

Had me in front, felt like I died

Came back straight to heaven

Hadn't stepped in the booth for some months

Blessed to still be alive

I want all my chances to be super-sized

I want all my doors to be suicide

I ain't tryna retire at fifty-five

I got five on the bed, come get me high

And for all the times I feel like I die

I remember I couldn't pay him to listen in

But they ain't gotta talk but they hear right now

Just when I had thought I had it all figured out

God, left that last album I was so confused

Left school with a bunch of debt

Dead broke, with a lot to prove

I don't plan on paying Sallie Mae back

But I'd a pay a whole bunch of dudes

Got me feeling like I gotta win

Cuz I ain't really got nothing else to lose

Put my last five in my gas tank

Ex-bitch got a sad face

Still tryna make my mom proud

Being there when my dad ain't

Just sitting on my shoulder holding me from blessin'

Stressin about my air can't

40 bitch make me feel good

My girl trippin, because the grass ain't

Always greener on the other side

It was what I had to tell myself

At ten forty-two around now 85

Hit the U-turn, got a phone call from my girl she was saying hi

Maybe she overreacting, I went to crib to show whats happening

We fucked by the window, on the floor, no mattress

I got to relieve all the stress, uh

Just got so much shit on my chest, uh

I know right now that I'm broke, uh

But I'll still fuck you the best, uh

Swear I'm just tryna do it right

The devil won't hold my life

When I see the end of the tunnel

I'm stepping out into the light

[Outro]

Oh man, I told my mama...

Maybe my heroes had it wrong all along...

But I could do better babe

But I could do better babe

Praying that there is something better

Maybe my heroes had it wrong all along...

But I could do better babe

But I could do better babe

Praying that there is something wrong

Maybe my heroes had it wrong all along...

Hope I could do better babe

Hope I could do better babe

Maybe my heroes had it wrong all along...

Hope I could do better babe

Oh man

Oh man

Oh man, I told my mama

Tell me where I should began

Too many irrational religion [?]

Still got that vision

I had a dream like I was a king but I hadn't slept in a minute

Back-to-back-to-back to the corner, back-to-back-to the corner

These gangs spark the hoods that we live in

These niggas still act like I ain't the shit and I can't be that patient much longer

Can't give my trust in no politician they never gave a fuck about my vision

Blessing to still be alive

Around eighty-five

Grass ain't always greener on the other side

Oh man, oh man

This life tryna be bright

I'm' stepping out of the light

Praying that it'll be better
