lyrics

sit on the shelf, and collect dust
wonder when i'm next up, just my friends love and respect jus
back in school, got my check plus
now i roll the best skunk, til my chest numb and my head's buzzed
never press luck, pedal my tape
in this composition pad's where i pencil my fate
visit the innocent, and let them escape
still the question remains, on settin' the stage and catchin' a break
i'm so high, yo i settle in space
ain't ashamed, son, i rep for my state, catch rest in the have
forgive mental mistakes, swig kettle and chase
kids who kept me in play, now sensin' a change
i switch it up, see bread on my plate
jump the lane of these envious snakes, we ain't ever relate
this the path where the treasure is layed, my level never was traced
let's give a toast, and my fellas will raise, like

it's funny how i went from sittin' on the shelf
to the kid you gotta listen to when twistin' up an l
i was posted in the corner, sorta sippin' by myself
now i'm tryin' hit it big with these chips that i was dealt
but, i'm often told that this a shot in the dark
and my girl stressed, yeah she take my problems to heart
i love her, but i never should have got her involved
cause i ain't fit to ever finish, but i rhymed at the start

i wonder, can you hear my hunger in your earphones?
it's as clear as thunder, feelin' summer as i steer home
the one they here for, humbled who my peers chose
they say it really takes a man to make his fears known
yeah, i'm desolate, desperate, sippin' beers slow
livin' with regrets every step but i'm gettin' cheers though
the real me, only bare bones, sure that i appear stoned
every care shown while i heir thrones
i ain't been sleepin' well in twenty eleven
hear the body shuts off, i've become the exception
it's rough with the pressure, son, i tend to suffer depression
i'm tuckin' the weapon, and paranoia under the dresser
it's real, my girl's gonna find a better person
in time, realize that i was less than worth it
she'll be seein' how the second that she left was perfect
she's a blessing, and it burns that i ain't best deserving, still
