Pertinent Lyrics

I wake up every mornin' feel a mess

But I know I gotta stay obsessed

Fuck the stress I know I can ace this test

Am I just gonna eat the dirt

Or am I gonna be the first

To spit the sickest, meanest verse

Are they ever gonna see my worth

I put that work in

But they don't view me as pertinent

So for all they know

The time I spend

In this basement's fuckin' worthless

But I'm certain

When they finally drop that curtain

That I'll hear the crowd grow loud for more

I'm gonna leave em' all thirstin'

Been rapping since elementary

But don't think for a second

What I rap is less than complimentary

To the greatest artist's that affected me

So don't ever think less of me

Cause the shit I spit

Is built upon the work

Of many a centuries

Please

What you need to see

Is the blood, sweat, tears and pieces of me

That I leave in every beat

To join the elite

I won't ever retreat from this hot seat

That's not me, nah me

I'm the beast beneath the peat

That's beneath your feet

Every kick of the drum is like my heartbeat

Without music I'd be laying on the concrete

Replete with the ability to secrete

Anything I need to be so clean on a beat

Immediately it's seems they see what I bring

When I cling to the beat so effortlessly

Never gonna taste defeat

Just gonna make a feast for the family

That's the plan for me

So stand back if you don't stand with me

Seems I'm going on a killing spree

So in time I'm sellin' these felonies

Cause I murder beats to the first degree

I take this guilty plea so gleefully

Don't play with me

I'm amazing see

I do this shit every day

This ain't no game to me.

I wake up every mornin' feel a mess

But I know I gotta stay obsessed

Fuck the stress I know I can ace this test

Am I just gonna eat the dirt

Or am I gonna be the first

To spit the sickest, meanest verse

Are they ever gonna see my worth

I put that work in

But they don't view me as pertinent

So for all they know

The time I spend

In this basement's fuckin' worthless

But I'm certain

When they finally drop that curtain

That I'll hear the crowd grow loud for more

I'm gonna leave em' all thirstin'

Shout out to my day ones

Fuck all of dem fake ones

Shout out to the people

That stuck with me when we made none

Talking money, streams, ticket sales

And them bank runs

Back when we longboard round this town

Getting baked tons

Back when we played Fallout games

Inside of Tom's basement

Back when I was skipping class

To work on raps and fuck some

Pretty crazy bitches they was itching

For unsafe fun

Now it's all paid off and your boi is

So damn dangerous

I don't think they know

That the boi been wishin'

He could play some fucking shows

I been mingling with artists

Every where I go

I been making money moves

Boi it's just time to roll

If I'm eatin' then you eatin'

That's just how it goes

Uplift my family I'll be damned

If that ain't status quo

Trust me

I'll be doing this

Even when I am comfortable

I wake up every mornin' feel a mess

But I know I gotta stay obsessed

Fuck the stress I know I can ace this test

Am I just gonna eat the dirt

Or am I gonna be the first

To spit the sickest, meanest verse

Are they ever gonna see my worth

I put that work in

But they don't view me as pertinent

So for all they know

The time I spend

In this basement's fuckin' worthless

But I'm certain

When they finally drop that curtain

That I'll hear the crowd grow loud for more

I'm gonna leave em' all thirstin'

I'm not perfect

I don't hide that under the surface

I am nervous

That won't stop me from chasin' my purpose

And these verses

I'm speakin' my truth as a service

To the person

Who's listening and heard this

Just know that we all got dreams

So don't let that shit just rot in the dirt man

If you're afraid of the pain well same

But we can't give up

That's courage

Find your bravery

And learn to make it permanent.

I said find your bravery

And make that bitch permanent.

I wake up every mornin' feel a mess

But I know I gotta stay obsessed

Fuck the stress I know I can ace this test

Am I just gonna eat the dirt

Or am I gonna be the first

To spit the sickest, meanest verse

Are they ever gonna see my worth

I put that work in

But they don't view me as pertinent

So for all they know

The time I spend

In this basement's fuckin' worthless

But I'm certain

When they finally drop that curtain

That I'll hear the crowd grow loud for more

I'm gonna leave em' all thirstin'
