Lyrics Poised - TOB Duke

I had to stop being selfish
And start being selfless
I had to stop sittin' there
And panic I had to start helpin'
And my big brother Kimbo
Died I know the fives felt it
But they just tell me chase
My dreams down I feel helpless
I had to go through them dark nights
Had to get out there and
Make all my wrongs right
Battle demons swear
This shit like a dog fight
Like a star I'mma shine bright
In the end I know
I'mma be alright
No more running gotta
Face all the stage light

Feel like you got it all right
At the top but you know
That you can fall right
Not in sight just trynna
Stay out the limelight
Out the way been on my grind
I'm goin' in and I ain't
Wasting no more time
Before I stab you in the
Back give you the knife
You can stab mine
I just had to pay attention
I just had to put them
Through a situation to
See who the realest
The ones I never thought
Would change the ones
That hurt my feelings
Them niggas ain't wanna
See my vision I had to
Make 'em feel it
And when the stove start
Heatin' up they ran
Up out the kitchen
Look down on me
I humbled them all
Even though a nigga
Claimed his spot I'm
Still the underdog
All them years of being
Kicked down I'm still standin' tall
My coach he told me make
A play I'm bout to ball hard
They say they all steppin'
Pop out who the real dirty Dan
But fuck it if they want the
Smoke we pop him and his mans
And I be peepin' all the
Snakes shit I just had to glance
And that shit made me mow
The line before I got my advance

It was the streets or my crib
I had to make a choice
And all the kids listen to me
I finally got a voice
And yea them niggas got
Some sound but they ain't makin' noise
I do this shit the righteous
Way a young nigga poised
