Test of Will K.A.A.N.

[Verse 1]
The stars aligned the day I was born, immaculate conception
January 12, '91, man what a fuckin' blessing
I'm grateful for this gift of life, my God, let me express it
Through a heartfelt message and authored expressions, I'm pressin'
Reflect on life lessons, realizin' I was the essence
Assess a certain presence, repent and pass the deceptions
As a convoluted youth feeling useless, my adolescence
Was filled with insecurities, self doubt and depression
Arrested Development like Michael Cera as I delve in
Self sabotaged all my progression, it's sheltered, I'm dwellin'
Trying to make a song cry, my heart swellin'
When you give 'em the real but they want facades
I gave 'em my story, they couldn't sell it
Without antics or co-signs, that shit is not compellin'
Told me I needed a hook, my shit sounded like one long acapella
I felt like Jay, Big and Dame when they started Roc-A-Fella
I wanted to make a Reasonable Doubt, they wanted more Hawaiian Sophies
Felt like the wind was taken right out of my sails
If my records never sell, does that mean that I fail?
If I do a million shows and no one shows up there
Venue empty, thinkin' no one cared
Terrified, I'm scared

[Hook]
Can't live in denial, the truth I gotta face it
I'm just living on a day to day basis
Where I'm at in my career, shit I hate it
Every single thing I'm recording, it sound basic
Voices in my head yelling "Patience, patience"
Nothing ever happened overnight, be patient
Voices in my head yelling "Patience, patience"
You gon' get everything you deserved, be patient
