HDBeenDope - Synopsis lyrics

I made this for the dreamers
And fuck the non-believers
Lost in the ocean
Keep on floating 'til they see us
And this is just a story full of joy and pain
And if it doesn't make sense
Then let me explain

I sit and grab the pen
Thinking this be my last
Not alluding to me dying but
This might be my past
Sitting on my third tape and I
Ain't shit in these streets
So why the fuck I'm wasting time
It's time I throw up my peace
If you asking 2012 me: I'm headlining stages
If you asking me right now: I
Open shows with no payments
Can't keep these niggas hooked for nothing
And I'm clearly bad with timе
And guess I settled in this lifе
Bitch I'm done pursuing rhyming
Spending hours of my life on
Conversations with this microphone
Said it from the start that I
Would never leave this mic alone
Still chasing dreams
How long you planning on sleeping?
It's time I'll be more realistic
I'm making peace with my demons
Feel like I'm moving in the caste system
Stuck in my spot
I never wanted to be the nigga
That was stuck with the flock
But I'm tryna feel secure so
That nine-to-five is better
Might kill my soul but
That nine-to-five is cheddar
It seems chasing dreams kills your sanity
A leap of faith but I'd rather have a canopy
I'm just tryna be the nigga
That they glad to see
So fuck rap, and everything I plan to be

My world it moves so fast today
The past it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tight
That I can't breathe
And every time I try to be
What someone else thought of me
So caught up, I wasn't able to achieve
But deep in my heart
The answer, it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny

I made this for the dreamers
And fuck the non-believers
Lost in the ocean
Keep on floating 'til they see us
And this is just a story full of joy and pain
And if it doesn't make sense
Then let me explain

Okay I'm back in my mind
I was losing my soul
That's more than half of my body
How can I give up the flow? Busy stressin'
Not knowing what I'ma be until I sat down
And notice that it's really up to me
I paint my picture tryna find my way
Roaming in a garden full of snakes
Under pressure but an allotrope of
Carbons all it makes
That's a fucking diamond
And it takes time and
Knew this wouldn't be easy so
Why the fuck you whining?
Long conversations tryna bargain with
My God like "Let me see my future
I'm just tryna play my part so
If this isn't destiny don't let
Me waste my energy"
I got a ill response like, "If it is
It's meant to be"
Got a lot to earn, and plenty more to learn
What if it doesn't work out
Well that's none of my concern
Tired of all these niggas talking
Like they got the recipe
Thanks for the views but I gotta
Do what's best for me, me

My world it moves so fast today
The past it seems so far away
And life squeezes so tight
That I can't breathe
And every time I try to be
What someone else thought of me
So caught up, I wasn't able to achieve
But deep in my heart
The answer, it was in me
And I made up my mind
To define my own destiny
