That's Not OK.


They couldn't walk in my sneakers. They're getting printed with my sneaker soul I try to spill the soul… That they say the demons stole I'm in a fire pit… My heart is freezing cold I try to ignore the lies that those people told Even though, I'm just trying to reach my goal I feel my past and present putting me in a sleeper hold I try to seize control, but my control is seized Destined to be famous but I'm walking through some lonely streets Grab the pen, compose the sheets on promoter beats Sometimes I could be shallow but I make sure the flow is deep So how am I supposed to sleep? I don't think I need it And if I do, I don't want it. Sometimes I get conceited I can do it on my own, Tell the rest to beat it 'Cause these new rappers got rid of the bounce like a Tempurpedic And I'm getting heated… 'Cause no lie! I'm destined to be a boss, Not an employee - Best believe it! 'Cause when I helped the other man win, I felt defeated What's the point of joining a pack if you can never lead it? And you can't talk like a boss if you're not one Life is a beach, I guess I'm surfing til' my day come There's a lot who support or gas him, but there's no bragging Not until I feel like everything I've ever dreamed of already happened I speak my mind, I'm not just rapping Not joking, not laughing. Taking everything I want now, I'm not asking Out of my mind but I get it in, It's evident When I get in the game, I'm taking over everything Music before the "benjamins'" and the heavy bling What's a has been? I think I'd rather be a never-been 'Cause never-been means I never had my day. Has been means I had it, but let it slip away. That's Not OK.
