[Verse: PHZ-Sicks]
In the end, what do the accolades bring
And what the fuck is a crown if it doesnât have a king
Whatâs a song if its unheard when the cage bird sings
Whatâs the big picture if we donât see the small things
In the details, I know you mean well
But my own mind at times has become my personal hell
Born, uh, trapped in the cell of a black male
From the prejudice of this world which became our own mental jail
I lost my faith now
With these scrambled thoughts in my head
Trying not to go over the edge like Junior Seau
I know that invoice of success can come any day now
So I do whatever it takes, whatever it may pay, pal
On this stage now, being in tune with what I'm making
It's hard to go forward when you don't know which way that youâre facing
Embracing the unknown, as I go on
Born on the 2-3 so Iâve always been in my zone
Born on the 2-3 so Iâve been ill from the jump, man
Since our people called on the dope man
Strung out on the streets without even a rope, man
And hoping that the spoon could give a lil' hope, man
To take that pain away, but that pain would stay
And affect the kids that it left behind and made today
Which in affect would fuck their kids up in a similar way
And we wonder and complain about how things are today
What a shame, but you donât wanna hear this (Naw)
You wanna hear that ill shit (yes)
That PHZ-Sicks just kill this
That PHZ-Sicks went in shit
Well, here it is
Uh, uh, uh
You see, now I get it, now that my egoâs missing
Business meetings in Venice, thatâs my form of powering tripping
Yes I have to say this, no longer will I take less
Damn skippy, niggas will have negative views towards you when they view is bay less
No oceans, no paychecks, just envy and hatred
You couldâve took over the world using all that time you invested
That shit was quite impressive, but should I catch my breath
Or should I just drown in my own success
They say you either make it or die trying
Whether itâs a mountain of fortune or a ride to my destiny, I'm steady climbing
Fuck, Iâm not trying
To hold a sermon
But I canât teach you, nigga, if I'm still learning
Just trying to do more in the morning so I can see less mourning
Moet pain coming out the soul of my people when its pouring
Downtrodden, call us rotten, Americaâs problem
When itâs at home, that usually needs the solving
Often, we blame others then trying to own it
But we on now, nigga, so we living in the moment
Whether good or bad, turn it in to gold whenever we own it
We just trying to live in the moment
Whether good or bad we turn it in to gold whenever we own it
We just trying to living in the moment
Uh, uh, say this is my moment
Uh, uh, say this is my moment
Uh, uh, say this is my moment
Uh, uh, say this is my..
