What Inspire You


In a generation full of materialistic males and females caught up in the glits and glam

HERE I STAND.

A young man from the suburbs of Cleveland trying to get out my thoughts, views, and ideas by "pimpin pen"

THAT I AM

But then again no one pays attention unless your talking about getting girls getting money or how many followers you have on Instagram

HERE I STAND

But i'll be damned if I go unheard before im six feet deep in a pine box covered with dirt

THAT'S MY WORD

Imma surley show the world my true worth because I love this music shit so much sometimes it hurts

TELL ME WHAT INSPIRES YOU

Is it that you went to sleep without no food?

Or was your frige always full?

Or could it be those nights you were scared for your life because the neighborhood you grew up in just wasn't right?

Or was your life peachy ceen because you grew up right around all whites?

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

In the words of my partner Shiv imma grind til I get on, but even when I get on imma grind like I ain't never had a home like I aint never had nothing to eat

You see a brother like me I'm trying to go way pass my peak because I grew up in a household where my mom barely made ends meet, in a household we didn't know how we was gone eat so I repeat

WHAT INSPIRES YOU!
