Yeah, I know I'm just a little rough around the edges
Always been that way
Yeah, my foot is always on the edge
Guess I love to live that way
'Lotta highs, 'lotta lows
'Lotta energy you gotta give that way
You could try to skip the fuckin' journey
But you'll never win that way
See the scars on my soul don't fade with a tan
But I treasure each and every trauma that I got
Because it made me who I am
Every time I was down and out
Find another route, made another plan
Yeah I'm grateful for the worst times
'Cause the worst times made me as a man
Now I'm Simba with a full mane
Up on Pride Rock, I remain
Battle scars with a repertoire
That'll have [?] livin' in the game
Every damn mic, every damn stage
Every damn pen, every damn page
Every padlock, every damn cage
Tear it down like it's rampage
So I'm sayin'
I've been trapped in this rollercoaster
Draggin' this boulder
Every chapter brings closure
Draggin' me closer to where I'm supposed to be
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Right where I'm supposed to be
Every chapter brings closure
Draggin' me closer to where I'm supposed to be
Now where was I?
Tear it down like it's rampage
Yeah, I've aged, got a couple grays
Bags on my eyes, bags in the bank
From KFC to Chicken Milanese
I've been overseas
I've been on my way
And what you're seein' on display
Came at a cost all for me to pay
But now either way I'ma find a way out
Catch a wave on the fuckin' way out
Make a play, seein' how it plays out
Here to stay, so you better stay out
But the path that I'm on, rappin' along
Up until the day I pass the baton
And that ain't comin' soon
So until then better give me room
I've been trapped in this rollercoaster
Draggin' this boulder
Every chapter brings closure
Draggin' me closer to where I'm supposed to be
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Right where I'm supposed to be
Every chapter brings closure
Draggin' me closer to where I'm supposed to be
Yeah, I've been lookin' for the promised land
Writin' all the struggles down free-hand
Leave a message in a bottle on the sand
While I'm chillin' with the sinners and the damned
I'm just tryna make a livin' where I can
With a couple words rhymed and a plan
Let the world know who I am
Try to understand I've been through it all
Way before I ran, had to learn to fall
'Fore I hit a wing, had to hit a wall
But I'm still gon' stand tall
With this drink in my bottle and pocket of drugs
Feelin' on top of the world
Wo-oah
I've been trapped in this rollercoaster
Draggin' this boulder
Every chapter brings closure
Draggin' me closer to where I'm supposed to be
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Right where I'm supposed to be
Every chapter brings closure
Draggin' me closer to where I'm supposed to be
