[Chorus]
I represent my God damn self
Consumed by the rhythm while some others buy wealth
Comin' up short, but I don't need no help
To find the words, make it, only time will tell (Tell)

[Verse 1]
(C'mon, get up)
(Let's go)
Listen close and you can hear my heart
Staying positive because I don't want to be left in the dark
Makin' remarks so all you phony bitches listenin' in pictures
Can you give me a minute while I spit it and lay it down for you
Some profound shit, write until the sound split
Writing 'cause there ain't no othеr way I get around it (Around it)
More support evеry time
But the only one pushing me behind is me, myself, and I
And that's a trait that my mama said she loves
Time can really fly, so why would you speed it up? (Speed it up, speed it up?)
Undeniable
I'm comin' up through a kaleidoscope of dark thoughts
Under rainfall, to get my mind to flow
Making progress that's across the bars, stretch
Heated like the flame that my motherfuckin' bars catch
What am I missing? No need for reminiscing
Just the present on my plate, and I ain't talking 'bout a gift
Okay (Okay)
[Chorus]
I represent my God damn self
Consumed by the rhythm while some others buy wealth
Comin' up short, but I don't need no help
To find the words, make it, only time will tell (Tell)
I represent my God damn self
Consumed by the rhythm while some others buy wealth
Comin' up short, but I don't need no help
To find the words, make it, only time will tell (Tell)

[Verse 2]
Mellow rocking the rocket ship to the top
And it's gonna be impossible to catch 'em
Giving them time to split
Probably the only way to get 'em out of this is
Slit his throat and hope he don't live through all the talents
See, I talk big (Talk big)
And it look like I can't back it up but
I've been grinding every day and still don't think that that's enough
Assuming I get the pass, or did I even have to ask?
I'll just take it, say my alter-ego's acting up
Taking pride in everything I've got (Got)
I keep the struggle away (Way), 'cause I've learned a lot
I walk a dirt road, and I'm gonna stick with it
From the three-one-six, I brought my shit to the Pacific
When I cough throughout the nights, I always get my [?] way
Turning out the lights and I still see the devil's sillhouette
Yo, I need answers
Pulling out my [?] card
I ran out of chances, and now I'm praying like a mantis
Okay (Okay)
[Chorus]
I represent my God damn self
Consumed by the rhythm while some others buy wealth
Comin' up short, but I don't need no help
To find the words, make it, only time will tell (Tell)
I represent my God damn self
Consumed by the rhythm while some others buy wealth
Comin' up short, but I don't need no help
To find the words, make it, only time will tell (Tell)

[Verse 3]
Living the life that I wanted, and now I kinda see
I've been proved a couple things that have surrounded me
I say goodbye to all the [?] friends that half asleep
I'm aware of what this is and I know how to
Bring my best to the table
I get 'em so they know I'm able
Don't even try to rewind this shit, you heard me at this angle
This is what you need
A cocky motherfucker with his chest out, the best out
Watch my heart bleed as I use my damn blood
For the ink on this pad
And my California homies give a shocker 'cause it's red
Finally I'm gettin' the love
I'm on the same ground as everybody else, and I don't think I'm above
I just think I'm the shit
Rocking some old dirty kicks
I got a lace around my waist 'cause of my pants never fit
Staying golden like the crown that I'm going for next
Hold a nine in my left hand, and know that I'm set
Alright (Alright)
[Chorus]
I represent my God damn self
Consumed by the rhythm while some others buy wealth
Comin' up short, but I don't need no help
To find the words, make it, only time will tell (Tell)
I represent my God damn self
Consumed by the rhythm while some others buy wealth
Comin' up short, but I don't need no help
To find the words, make it, only time will tell (Tell)
