I'm looking at the trouble I'm facing
Facing the crowd while I'm staying on the stage
And the stages I go to in this game are outrageous
And the rules ain't fair but still I play it
And that the race that I'm racing it's amazing I ain't fading
The sun turned me from a grape to a...
And folks telling me I made it
Please, I ain't made shit,..
And ever since I got up in this game
I've been saying to myself one day I'm a change it
Cause the planes in the heights got you chasing
... got you locked up in cages
... American dream, one day they'll gonna barely be sleeping
And the I tell f*ck cause you can barely see it
Stay tuned and I'm a take you to see it
I know, someday I will find it all
But I won't apologize, I won't tell no lies
Don't go, someday I'm gonna need you
But I won't apologize oh no, tell no lies, oh no
Tell em, tell them this
Say that nothing worth having is easy
And nothing that I work hard for that they make me want more
I ain't satisfied, even on the top floor
I'm addicted to living a life that I can't afford
Working in the store with clothes that...
Opening and closing it, open it get it over with it
And every morning my Shorty waking hung-over which is funny
Cause this champagne lifestyle is sobering
I know to run a little late, I'm hyperventilating and waiting for the day that I penetrate
Like a virgin, working in... let you in the,.. they don't look you in the face
I'm broken straight, the walls have been closing in
So much that I ain't nodes, a vixen that nodeses
I'm lying to my friends, I told them my phone is dead
Trying to hold my head, but know when I'm gonna win
I know, someday I will find it all
But I won't apologize, I won't tell no lies
Don't go, someday I'm gonna need you
But I won't apologize oh no, tell no lies, oh no
Another phone call to my mother looking for help
... only,.. I only think to myself
Manager paid my rent, my money been looking stealth
But on the outside it's looking like something else
So I can't back track to fall in line
And I'm waiting passed out for too much...
And ain't a cat... can act all fine
f*ck the game, cats stags, some cats all lie
Labels wanna monopoly, and the rest that is shopping me
So they copy me, sold my intellectual property
I gotta breathe I'm worried I'm losing steam
I gotta sleep I'm worried I'll lose the dream
So what's the next move to... success food
It's something I'll be taking to grave like my friend Sue
The clothes only make the man if they dress you
I'll be captain if I'd let you
I know, someday I will find it all
But I won't apologize, I won't tell no lies
Don't go, someday I'm gonna need you
But I won't apologize oh no, tell no lies, oh no
