Lyrics Roadblocks - Promonant feat. Empre$$

I guess it's just me and issues homie.
Looking for different ways to get into the game, nothing was the same.
Used to dream of being a millionaire all my stories untold.
I spent some time to develop a brand new book of my own.
I'm still young and I'm learning new stuff as I go along.
I wanna get a royalty whenever I perform a song.
Wasn't easy for me, guess I'm the right man to do it.
If I don't step outside this box I swear for Christ imma lose it.
When I moved into the hood it nearly broke my mother's heart.
But she knew I was a man and that We'll never break apart.
And I really don't give a fuck either.
You can drop harder than ya body once it stops breathing.
My grandma thinks I need medication.
These niggas think they fucking with me, I be getting aggravated.
Growing up, I got four lil sisters.
And I will hurt you motherfuckers if I catch you playing with her.
I grew up as an only child without no father figure.
I think he said we can't afford to pose a family picture.
This shit got me bouncing in circles look how my life turned around.
Nobody heard me before, so are you hearing me now?
I walk around with my head in the clouds
These roadblocks out here chasing me down.
These roadblocks out here chasing me down.
Roadblocks out here chasing me down.
I used to think that this was never gonna be reality.
Til I saw the newest rappers on the television screen.
After that I knew my vision was way more just than a dream.
Fascinated by the luxuries of getting cream.
And now I gotta team of artists with the same vision.
We chase paper make music on the same mission.
They told me once that I could never be the top ten.
But imma prove em wrong as I did again and again.
Nowadays I sit and write the shit that's on my mind.
To all my people in the struggle its about that time.
Stay on ya grind and be humble cuz the world is bout to end.
I need love more than I need a friend.
Let's not pretend that I ain't brought my city back on the map.
And rep my squad to the fullest now how crazy is that.
To all the ones that dont believe me finna teach y'all a lesson.
The power lies beneath my pen and imma keep on expressing.
My inner animal is hungry for some verbal assassins.
I run with niggas with figures that do this shit with a passion.
Done laughing at these mother fuckers steady relaxing.
You sounded sick for thirty minutes then you started relapsing.
I'm backtracking you class actors get turned to a dead rapper.
This pain I feel keeps me immortalized til I'm dead after.
Roadblocks.
Chained up to the bed I can't find my way.
Man I look in the mirror just don't feel the same.
I'm fighting demons, my life ain't even, I think I'm evil.
With a golden smile, I think this happiness could take a while.
Can't eat, can't sleep, man i miss my family.
Contemplating my life, they don't understand me.
I'm wearing clothes I don't like, getting told what to do.
And I'm surrounded by bitches that ain't got nothing to lose.
That's why I write all these rhymes cause I got something to prove.
I hear talk behind my back I guess it's funny to you.
Take heed of these words, nightmares are the worst.
While you downgrading bitches, I just left with your mistress.
But it's cool though, I ain't stressing the bullshit.
Cause I'm coming back home, been gone for too long.
These roadblocks in my life, but I'm still going strong.
It's cause I'm dedicated.
