"If Someone Told Me"
Iniquity Rhymes
Prod. Dansonn

It's funny, started this years ago as a hobby, see?
Straight out of boredom, boarded up emotions
Poured 'em out indeed
Inspired by the best, I remember Biggy, '94
Shit I was seven, knew nothing but loved the music
Tightened core
It gave me strength but was confused when he was killed that day
I was a kid, and Pac was murdered months before
We're losing grace
To me, hip hop was sad, latching on to weathered men
Detaching from my mind at times
Relapsing though, through Eminem
Yeah I remember rappin' with my boys, thinkin,
"I'd love to do this all my life, yeah maybe one day
I can make a change"
I'd love to pretend I had fans who'd buy my work
Who would always turn to my words when they were down
My lyrics changed their pace
I'm forever grateful for this realization
That I've made something of myself
This blessing, I'll take it to the grave
When I lack the drive, remind me what I'm fighting for
I rely on you, can't trust myself
So I reside in yours

If someone told me that I'd get this far
If someone told me I'd convince the weak to fight
If someone told me that I'd change the lives of many
With my music I'd've called 'em crazy and to leave my sight
If someone told me that my life would be an everlasting dream
Well then I wouldn't wanna wake
When I lack the drive, remind me what I'm fighting for
I rely on you, can't trust myself
So I reside in yours

They say I'm lucky, so fortunate to be here today
And while that's true, this shit was calculated
And I'm here to stay
I put my blood and tears in this
Aint no higher being controlling fate
And I'm not surprised to now hear
Why ya leaning towards my way
I strive for perfection, judge myself
So you don't have to now
Excluding few, no competition
Garrote flow, I w[rap] around
You can hate, no worries, bruh
I'll give you ass to kiss
But if you challenge me
One would assume that you're a masochist
I wasted way too much time tryna get some ass and tits
I focused on the pain but now it's time I paved my path to get
What's rightfully mine, never cave, you'll feel my wrath and quit
I'm the unchained beast that can't be tamed
You'll feel my lash and split
See the difference, when I believe in myself?
The Dark Knight in this bitch, always a clutch hook on the belt
Wanna the save the world from self harm, just looking for leverage
So I choose to bear arms, with the words as my weapons
Let's bring it home
