So many questions, number 1
Who’s Desmond, just a son
Wisdom of a father, part brother
Good friend, with the heart of a lover
Who, will I be, when it’s all, said and done
Is it, all work and, no fun
So few like me, none other
DEF davyne, all alone I suffer
What’s my purpose, why am I here
Tryna succeed, but what do I fear
Do I have what it takes to evade the snakes
And if I end up on the wrong path, pump my brakes
Look at my age, did I wait too long
Can I still save face, when my grace is gone
When they hear my rap, will it make em strong
Do they even understand what I’m saying in my songs
When its time to go, what will I leave behind
Will it help them see, will it make them blind
Will it keep em down, or elevate their mind
Will it grind em up, or will it help em grind
When they listen to my music will it leave em crying
Give em faith and, keep em from a life of crime
Will I die a martyr, will they build a shrine
Answers, what I’m on a search to find

Between lines, I look for answers
In class I shine, with my hand up
So ready, to run it, like a panther
But guilt, is deadly, like cancer
Duck tape on my mouth, no ransom
What I wanna say is ugly, not handsome
Who I really am, go ahead and ask em
Everybody tryna give me tips, like a dancer
Tryna elevate, so many fellows hate
Drama escalates, and accelerates
The more real you are, the more they hella fake
Gone when you working, but they there when you celebrate
Good God ya’ll got my headfull
Looking for wings, I’m bout settle for a RedBull
Heart beat, like the rhythm of techno
Tryna flow, bout to lose my tempo
Searching for peace, like a monk in a temple
Low like bass, tryna reach that treble
Feeling like I gotta get high, to get level
Heck no, that ain’t my m.o.
Modus operandi, nope no plan B
Only Grammy I know is my family
My kids, they both be half me
Only goal, is to see them happy

I’ma follow every feeling dat be breaking out my body
When I wake up from this slumber I’ma shake Illuminati
All eyes on me like I’m naked at a party
Almost 30 now, tell me will I make it till I’m 40
Can I live with the rain when my days ain’t sunny
Will I give in to the pain, stand still let it run me
Can I make a big change, and a lil bitta money
Cuz I’m in it for the gain, but the game ain’t funny
SMH, no LOL
Tales of a Libra, scales so frail
Looking for heaven, but know hell so well
Record deal can’t help or heal my ail
Or hide what I hold inside beneath
Time to release these tears and grief
Looking for relief underneath when I leave
Knowing in the end I’ma still believe
