[00:00.11]Composed by：Gary Lucas
[00:00.22]I wanna expand my brain but I'm trapped in prison
[00:03.09]Got me shackled up in chains for the maximum sentence
[00:05.91]I'm tryna get out my ways to bring me back to census
[00:08.74]And maybe teach myself some
[00:09.90]Game and turn my rags to riches mmm
[00:12.52]Ain't no excuses we all start at the bottom
[00:14.75]Gotta learn to speak yo' truth
[00:16.20]And that's just part of the process
[00:18.05]If I ain't the solution
[00:19.17]Guess I'm part of the problem
[00:20.82]You pullin' flowers out the
[00:21.74]Roots when I just wanted to blossom
[00:23.66]And I'm exhausted
[00:24.28]But I tried my best
[00:25.79]We needed change 'cause we
[00:26.60]Tired of stress tryna flex
[00:28.90]Bought you a chain but couldn't buy respect
[00:30.67]I'm not impressed
[00:31.83]We can't evolve unless we follow steps
[00:33.62]It's not a test
[00:34.85]I'm tired of frontin' like we not oppressed
[00:36.41]And I thought if I was rich
[00:37.59]Then all my problems'd be through
[00:39.46]'Til I made a few million and now
[00:40.56]I got more problems than you
[00:42.17]I know it feels good to win
[00:43.42]But it hurts a lot when you lose
[00:45.11]Don't ever say what you gon'
[00:46.13]Do unless you followin' through
[00:47.79]I'm talking execution execution execution uh
[00:51.11]And I don't know where I'm goin'
[00:52.71]But I'm learnin' as I'm growin'
[00:54.18]That's the evolution
[00:55.13]The evolution evolution evolution
[00:57.22]Hope I don't finish last
[00:58.35]I'm still healin' from my past
[00:59.78]I need some retribution retribution retribution
[01:03.07]Did a lot of gettin' even
[01:04.54]But I'm sick and tired of beefin'

[01:10.87]I gotta be honest
[01:11.87]I never thought that I would pop this quickly
[01:13.88]Feels good to look at my phone
[01:15.36]And see Rihanna hit me
[01:17.03]Nah it ain't on no s**t like that
[01:18.24]Shorty a goddess to me
[01:19.93]Just one of my friends that
[01:20.82]I can vent to when my conscious get me
[01:22.89]Look I ain't into what n***as is doin'
[01:24.54]I'm on some other
[01:25.71]I never been the type to turn up
[01:27.23]And be on that clubbin'

[01:34.62]'Cause I ain't tryna impress nobody
[01:36.15]That get old quick
[01:37.50]Like starin' at an old flick
[01:38.84]Trynna travel back in '06
[01:40.22]Maybe hope for what I won't get
[01:41.75]All that temporary happiness
[01:43.14]Only last until you grow sick
[01:44.70]And them lights start to go dim
[01:46.18]And the walls start to close in
[01:47.62]And the times starts to pass you by
[01:49.40]Don't act surprised
[01:50.28]Better be careful what you ask from God
