Exhale Ivan B

[Verse 1]
Everybody thinkin' they got it, but all I see is robotics
If you make a way from the jump, rappers are hoppin'
Wonder if it's really real all the love that you're giving me
Do you really want a friend or are you scared to be enemies (ugh!)
Do this on my own in a pen and no label
I do the horse work, yeah, nothing is stable
Demons wearing these halos, don't believe every angel
Nothing's fate 'til it's fatal, flip this script be the staple, yeah
Let me keep it real with ya
Say you the top pick, but you ain't the topic of discussion
Buncha rappers talk a lot of nonsense
Which is funny, I can't even understand it
Man, I wanna know what happened
Look what rap's is turning into
No skills with a beat that they feed you
Sixteen-year-old kids feeding into, see-through
I'll be dead before you ever see me be you, yeah
Doesn't matter what I say or what I write about
All that really matters are the values that I ride about
If you're saying things that you don't know of, I'ma call you out
Don't you say you know me off a couple things you heard about, yeah
Tryna end makin' ends meet, I'm tryna write the simple things that you can't see
You start accepting defeat when you care more about your feet
Than any journey you see and all the steps that you need
What could I paint the world when they don't see the picture?
If you got what you wanted, do you think that it will fix ya? (Nah)
Never knowing what you had until you lose it and it hits ya
Never know what you can reach until you take a shot and miss it
I'ma always do me, only time I really lose when I lose sleep
Salivating when I hear a beat, let's eat
Oh, you don't see the wave? Let's see!
I use to hit up every blog waiting like, "Oh well"
Had a flash drive, took it to a concert, threw it on stage with my email
If you're gonna fail, might as well do it yourself
I had nobody, no connects, no money
It was me in a room, yeah, nobody saw me
So I did it myself, now everybody wants something
Saying to us "See, man, I said it was coming!"
That kid from the west side wrote his feelings, now they feel him worldwide
Seeing minds open all wide, if you want the work, yeah, we open all night
Night shift game, up the game all night
Exhale
What's a wave when the whole team sails?
Friends come when things sell
Is it real? I can't tell
Is it real? I can't tell
Yeah
I got all this anger inside of my mind and I'm sure that it's making me blind
I look at the things that I have in my life, everything that I bottle inside
I take it all in but I can't let it go
Why does the road always feel like it's home?
Say I'll collapse while they stay and they roam
Anger that's in me, I need to let it go
