When I’m feeling low

I fill up my cup

Till it overflows

And I fight my demons

When I win I’ll know

Hopefulness is all I need to let it go

Now I’m losing my mind this time

Trying to focus on my life

Take back what’s mine

Look ahead until I reach the finish line

‘Cause my dreams the only thing that’s on my mind

Too many shows, not enough good shit to watch

Too many assholes not enough good people — stop

All this madness I can’t handle, it’s like this planet forgot

Human race turned into animals, now this planet will rot

But my hands in my pockets

No cameras in my optics, please

Cautiously, my thoughts are deep

I can’t manage a conversation, so don’t talk to me

Unless you wanna hear me rant about the thought police

Your talk is cheap

Be honest, between y’all and me

These characters bout to make you lose it all for one tweet?

Like poof, man, there’s goes your business

When did freedom of speech become so expensive?

Sell your soul for a mention, but we don’t mention it

Corporations need your buzz to feed off your relevance

Ain’t no need to question why I’m overzealous with it

We’re an offensive generation that gets so offended, I mean

When I’m feeling low

I fill up my cup

Till it overflows

And I fight my demons

When I win I’ll know

Hopefulness is all I need to let it go

Now I’m losing my mind this time

Trying to focus on my life

Take back what’s mine

Look ahead until I reach the finish line

‘Cause my dreams the only thing that’s on my mind

Young kid from the borough, my mind buried in rhymes

I’m an underground king who was buried alive

On a journey for mine, keep it thorough in any era

This one or the next one, my mission I never question

I slide through with haikus, lyrical swine flu

In front of a mirror, it takes a miracle to find you

Behind the visions of villains who once denied you

And misidentified you, who ridiculed and shit on you

Cause you did things they wished they‘d do

If they ever had the wherewithal to try to

Hence why they try you

Got you thinking how you ever let that shit define you

Got you thinking if you put your mind to it

Yeah, you might do it

Ain’t no limit when ambition is inside your chest

And yes, let me remind you

Ain’t no ceiling you can’t shatter

And if your passion is your ladder

Ain’t no height you can’t climb to

When I’m feeling low

I fill up my cup

Till it overflows

And I fight my demons

When I win I’ll know

Hopefulness is all I need to let it go

Now I’m losing my mind this time

Trying to focus on my life

Take back what’s mine

Look ahead until I reach the finish line

‘Cause my dreams the only thing that’s on my mind

I don’t want your negativity

Thinking about me

I’m stress free

All I really want is positivity

Moving on I’m doing it for me

When I’m feeling low

I fill up my cup

Till it overflows

And I fight my demons

When I win I’ll know

Hopefulness is all I need to let it go

Now I’m losing my mind this time

Trying to focus on my life

Take back what’s mine

Look ahead until I reach the finish line

‘Cause my dreams the only thing that’s on my mind
