Tom Pepe my first song keep tryin

Select language to translate this lyric

Look, to tell the truth y'all - I'm feeling pretty lost
I was trying to be a boss but they nailed me to a cross
Cut open my head so that they can read my thoughts
Blessed with this gift but it came at a cost
I be cursed in my own mind, hurts when I don't rhyme
Workin' on my verses like I'm searching through a gold mine
Lately I've been faced with reality, even college graduates barely got a salary
Rappers think they fat but they barely got a calorie
Grew up in Seattle, where they used to call me Casualty
Because I never backed down from a battle scene
Life is good but it damn sure ain't hassle free
An MC, well it's sort of what I had to be
My life is one big beautiful catastrophe
I take a rap beat, turn it into a masterpiece
A starving artist, I ain't leaving 'til I had a feast
There's some things that I had to experience to stop being oblivious
And take life serious, I'm so tired everyday I feel delirious
Only livin' for the people who be hearing this
I make music cause see that's where all my spirit is
The definition of a heart felt lyricist
Hard to find, it don't matter what year this is
Nearly died now I'm livin' with this fearlessness
Like whatever gonna happen, hope it happens for a reason
If it don't well then I'm coast, still be happy that I'm eating
Life ain't fair, that's why I'm rappin' instead of preachin'
So I'm absolutely passionate with every word I'm speakin'
If you feel it then just pass it on, it's more people I'm reachin
A student of the truth but it's the youth that I be teachin'
If you breathing in the air seeing things ain't really fair
Make a difference because you can instead of livin' like you isn't there
Most nights well I feel like I have to write, my life's a chess game -
Seeing things black and white. We live like animals, thinkin' of the afterlife
It's overwhelming so we drinkin' or we pass the pipe
I go to rap shows, wishin' they would pass the mic -
'Cause they repeatin' what you heard like a class you don't like
I'm back in the fight, ain't asking you twice It's only ignorance left so I pass on the right
