[intro : sample]
{verse 1 : lukas james}
I wake up early every other day
I wake up early every other day and hating how i live of late
The early bird spots its prey and starts to salivate
Potentially, lukas james will start to compensate
Why i always am second guessing my own commitments?
To fit religion within these limits is tricky business
I'm a menace with conditions of a drug prescription
Im a soldier who's conscripted to this world we live in
I thought i told you that the future will be unforgiving
I thought i told you the present don't got a silky ribbon'
I thought i told you the past is a bastard, but you missed it
I thought i told you
I thought i told you
[chours 1 : lukas james]
I was never prepared to face the challenges of life
I was never prepared to look my ego in the eye
Was never prepared to see my mother cry, when she was laying on the couch, cause i chose my pride
Shit, i was never prepared to give a damn no, to demands, i can, i said i just don't
I was never prepared to brace myself in time
I was never prepared (never prepared)
[verse 2 : fashawn]
I rise into the sun
Realized i was the one
Denied all of the crumbs
Supplied and got the funds
You hide inside my heart
Can't hide what i've become
Just refined for the dbb
Yeah, the deaf, dumb, and blind on your tv screen
Propaganda what you find, shit, what does it mean?
I freestyle and i get fined, much respect to the labels
But really, i ain't tryna sign
It's complicated but it keep me compensated
In deep concentration, made it out my mama basement
[chorus 2: fashawn]
I was never prepared to prosper
I was never prepared to break outta my shell like a lobster
I was always prepared to "blah-kah," air out the chopper
But was never prepared for lock-up
I seen a lot of things, but wasn't prepared for the drama all the dollars bring
I think the commas are just karma from a larger being
[outro : fashawn, sample]
Being
(church)
We up scottie
(it bores me)
Lemme hear that
