about

A classic Hip-hop throwback where I talk about the media during the COVID-19 pandemic, how I had been feeling lately, and how the younger generation have a lot of potential to grow and become better.

lyrics

Been trying to get this shit running and get to, yeah yeah
Been trying to get this shit running and get to, ayy, look

Been trying to get this shit running and get to working
They say talk that is cheap, I say that it's worthless
Facing my fears got me hurting to make a move
But I'm certain whatever I do
What I choose it ain't a burden
Been thinking family and future maybe a little too much
I know that balance is needed but still I can't get enough
I'm here smiling yeah I know that this that shit that I love
It's like being with your woman treat her like she the one
If I don't find me a woman then music go'n be the one
Cos it be here when I was down and I hope it's here when I'm up
Trying to make it go at pace, with no rush
Rvl reveal the first one to do it in his blood, yeah
I wasn't joking when I said that TV a disease
The news channel using press just for getting p's
They show 100 bad things about climate change
What a shame! Then go on to Selling you some mickey d's
I'm getting tired of that title called 'breaking news'
It's fixing nothing but best believe that's its breaking you
Breaking the time that you could use for yourself
For your family and give that shit right back to everybody else
Most of the time, I'm trying to not be a slave to this mind
Before I choose I hope my gut is gonna make it on time
Reminisce school days, waiting for the pips
So I could go home hella' fast and try to make a couple hits
It was more than just a break from doing homework after school
It was more than being popular because that shit was cool
It was necessary, mandatory, just like eating food
If I don't get no music in me probably didn't know what to do
What I'm saying this was close to me
Might not be close to you, but shit to me?
I had to stop studying just so I could rap to beats
Everybody said I lost a lot of a weight
I guess this music had me locked so hard
I didn't even wanna eat

And imma' keep writing in the room
Staying talking bout the problems
Straight styling with the tunes, imma'
And imma' stay dreaming bout the views
Young city really coming up
The youngins coming through, hold up

And imma' keep on writing in the room
Staying talking bout the problems
Straight styling with the tunes, imma'
And imma' stay dreaming bout the views
Young city really coming up
The youngins coming through, yeah

Speak it from the heart, imma tell my part, one story
Rvl reveal levitating from that one story to the second one
5am and I ain't even done
Working for the win, people faking, all they do is stunt
Hopping on a track like a trampoline
A lot of fake dudes here, I ain't having these
Trying to make moves out here, moving to a dream
I would dream about the fantasies, trying to set the scene, yeah
I can't talk about no struggle
Blessings never come in bundles
I've seen people have it worse
Like somebody living cursed
Who we letting the bubble
I don't really want a bundle
Sorry if you didn't get it
Cos we aiming to be first
Papa said it's hard to see it
Momma said do your thing
I could turn around and leave it
Fuck it maybe I'm insane
Lately I been in the books
Trying to read about the ways
But ain't way for everybody tho
Its just another day
Yeah this coming from my home, from the room, KB
I don't really trust nobody if they say it then they leave
I ain't sorry, if you hurt you're getting bodied
I be always planning out the end and I ain't started
Yeah this rvl reveal, going up, that's my deal
Never drugs, with the music I feel like I'm popping pills
Cos I'm living my reality
Some would call it insanity
I was saying nothing
And now this shit is really motherfucking happening, dawg

And imma' keep on writing in the room
Staying talking bout the problems
Straight styling with the tunes, imma
And imma' stay dreaming bout the views
Young city really coming up
Youngins coming through, yeah

And imma' keep on writing in the room
Staying talking bout the problems
Straight styling with the tunes, imma
And imma' stay dreaming bout the views
Young city really coming up
The youngins pulling through, straight up
