My name fades... like dust in the gust when the summer is high

Been ten toes down for years, still a ghost in their mind

Strangers showin’ more love than the homies I get

While the ones I helped shine now pretend that I'm dead

I was loyal through the losses when it cost me my peace

But the accolades and the praises always skipped me never reached

Fake friends fearin’ the mirror, can’t stare at their own reflection

While strangers send me statements of faith with genuine affection

I don’t beg for attention, but tension is pressin’ me down

They’ll think of every foreign name louder while dreading my sound

Scoreboard of support says I’m a waste at my home

Yet my voice crossin’ borders so far in other places I'm known

How you family in grammar but vanish when damage is close?

My companions turned cancer, while the strangers give gold

Lol I watched them praise impostors just for postin’ with flash

Just cause I was broke in the lab, still composing my path

I wanted to help out so I chose growth in my knack

But now the ones I taught ghost me with the coldest of act

Every “homie” turned holy soon as money got mentioned

Solely skipping my name faster than they lost their attention

No longer bitter, I'm centered, seeing clear through this tension

Been fed so many lies I was feeling distention

No handouts, I wanna plan routes even if the failures were steep

I demand now, I wanna stand out what I used to tell me I'll never reach

No distraction, more action, pro-fashion, pose casual

Got passion, known talent, sole savage, soul banished

Wrong faction, strong backend, C.o.p.e Challenge, so handsome

Joke grandeur, hoe captor, stroke assdumps and poke bladders

So salute to the loyal who rode with me through the dark

Who felt the pain in my pages and the pulse in my heart

To the rest, don’t stress, just remember the fact

When I exit this set with the pen, it ain’t y’all holdin’ me back, and that's that
