in this lifetime you don't gatta prove nothin to nobody

except yourself

and after what you've gone through

if you haven't done that by now

it ain't gonna never happen



yo, hey yo i'm never be what you'd expect me to be

clever like that

just when you cats think you know me

never let the negativity hold or stop me

never forget the knowledge hiphop has taught me

even though the prophets might never get signed

never drop a video or go platinum with my rhymes

it'll be cool just knowin that we've touched a few

and rocked the mic with some of the dopest mc's too



you'll never catch jes givin anything less than my all

and i'll forever be with mad sun until the day i fall

i'll never be as dope as you dog but i can live with that

you'll always give it up for me

but you'll never give it back

i'll never see a million dollars in this lifetime

and you'll never be blessed to have a woman quite like mine

to gain respect is a never-ending journey

cuz i'll always be jes and i guess i'm never worthy



never could find my voice lay down and die

give me one good eye to see my influence fly

forever i'll try to wear a genuwine smile

because i've planted my style across a million miles

i'll never turn my back on the heads i attract

mic check need a breath to keep a step on the path

never lose sight of what this is to me

and how it helps my plight to let everyone else see

i'll never go out of my way to hold you back

i'm just here to make your head rock maybe make your shoes tap

and with some luck maybe i can get stuck

within your memory remember me i'm the one that does give a (what)



and i will never be you

and you will never be me

but i'm like

whatever

we can work together and see

all we need is the sun and some water for this tree

and we can all be free

and even i can get free



and yo i'll never forget those who always believe

and the ones who gave us R-E-S-P-E-C-T

yo i'll never be the mc that you want me to be

there'll always be something i do or say and you won't agree

that's my individuality, originality

even though some of y'all get pissed off and mad at me

never forget my family or where i'm from

never blame others for the wrong i've done

yo i'll never hold a grudge i say peace and show love

never believed one day i'd be rhymin with slug

never know the ablities that you posses

till you find yourself and lay all your assumptions to rest

i'll never stop writing when there's no ink left

and i'll never stop blowing even when there's no breath

and i'll never find the words that describe my mind

yo i'll never stop lookin and i'll never stop tryin



better believe i'll never be the best word-worker

instead i use the soul to take the flow further

i'll never rhyme about guns, sellin drugs, or murder

sooner see a future of flippin burgers

i'll never forget about the city that raised me

the women i've chased and the cops that have chased me

the people that pushed me to become who i am

and everyone that came to the jam (like damn)



i'll never be the freshest

never be the dopest

even though sometimes it's hopeless

i'll never lose focus

i'll never be afraid to show the depth of my emotions

there's a side of me that's deep within the belly of the ocean

i'll never be the smartest

never be the brightest

i'll never be the hardest

never be the tightest

on the mic i'm just your average joe

never bored but i've been more dedicated than ever before

i'll never give up

never call it quits

you can never hold me down and i never did like to fool around

i'll never be

life for me ain't never been easy yo

i try to be positive no matter the weather

and no matter what

i'll never say never



and i will never be you

and you will never be me

but i'm like

whatever

we can work together and see

all we need is the sun and some water for this tree

and we can all be free

and even i can get free



well i hope you folks enjoyed yourselves

catch you later on down the trail
