Issue No 107 Own Appeal Lyrics
Own Appeal by Issue No. 107
[Intro:]
The main focus for my music
Whether it be the production or the lyricist
My travels, you know
The outside in rhyming it really plays a huge part in what I make
I ride all my rounds outside, you know
Every city I go to, I set up my studio in a hotel
I make the beats ' in the day
I stop coming up with ideas
And I just hit the streets and start walking
And whatever I see kinda of inspires me.
It may not be literally, but I always find the ways for my music
The streets, the city is my main inspiration.
I never asked to be born, and death's no question
The sun's still shining off the same old lessons
Then why does life feel like an educated guess and
My thoughts are like meals I'm a sucker for the seconds.
Impressions got a lot of us stressing,
But how we are perceived is more about a reflection
The reception warm that I receive
Which leads to believe these hoes like what I heave.
Tall women in heels, tour money and deals
Off the no bull I like all money for real
More time aboard and less time at home
Less time for broads and more time in zones, yeah!
I'm in it while flying out of another one
This is a new beginning, I'm climbing out of the other one
Could the dream feel realer than it ever been?
And I was aiming high like a nigga being president
The possibilities of that are seeming pretty evident
So being self employed is not seeming like a definite
But staying that way is what I'm F-ing with
And like minded people, be the only ones I'm messing with!
Hook:
And yo this so real,
Not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still
Living in the moment got a hopeless feel
But the feeling in itself got it's own appeal (I know)
I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
Not sure what I'm putting my faith in
But I'mma be alright!
I'm trying to get mine in this life time
The after life is much further in pipeline
I'm in inclined to believe that but truth is,
That for death, any moment is the right time
So I live like everyday is my last.
But I plan for tomorrow as if I will never pass
A Pharoah on the subway
Who never had dreams of jets
But fell asleep on run ways
I just know that one day,
That anything I needed I could mold
Get everything you want it ain't always good for the soul
A mix of self worth, some help, a little control
And I don't know the rest, good as mine is your guess
The recipe ain't the best, to make it though is our quest
And if you choose to accept, the meaning of life is yes
Cause only God knows,
Those of us in the flesh, get the privilege of test
Some will fail and some will pass
We all get the same grade though when we run the path
How you grade your self is the mark that will matter most
To separate the heart of the strong and the battered folks
Have a dose!
Hook:
And yo this so real,
Not knowing what's ahead but I'mma go there still
Living in the moment got a hopeless feel
But the feeling in itself got it's own appeal (I know)
I'm attracted to the lights in the distance
The closer that I get and the brighter my wish gets
Excited by the risk and the chances I'm taking
Not sure what I'm putting my faith in
But I'mma be alright!
Hey yo, shit so real, I kill shit to live nigga, schizo feel
I got a hunger for knowledge and I miss no meals
I stay high off life and I miss no pills.
I'm addicted to thrill of walking along the edge
Not knowing what lays ahead but always knowing the deal
I'm good with my decisions, the set backs and gains
Is all apart of the game, I'm ready to spin the wheel
What ever is in store, I'm ready for, for sure
With the attitude of wealth with the gratitude of the poor
The balance is the challenge and I sit so still
Between callous and analysis but this no feel
I'm off the chain, been that way since slaves to flave
In '93 till infinity I'm slated in ways
This X in stone, the age where we marked ourselves
I'm still all about the music, I don't monitor plays,
I don't monitor hits, and I don't monitor clicks,
I monitor the snare drum and the bottom of kicks!
Is anybody left that still fuck with this true shit?
Well let me hear you scream over top of this crew shit!
