Don't let no one tell you it's selfish to know yourself worth, but
If the shoe fits, Im selfish, sometimes I have to put myself first.
In place of that mindset, I put pen to pad, I made myself work.
Want to appeal to masses, can't appeal to all, I got myself hurt.
I smoke to deal with self-doubt when the ratings start to drop.
"I try too hard creating bars and keep generating larger flops".
I often get lost in the sea of comments saying I should stop,
But those arguments augmented thoughts to seize, im owed many props.
Im just flloating on this open ocean hoping someone comes across.
Im craving loco motion, tokens provokin my one train of thought.
"You know its hopeless, dont go poking and forfeitin' your daily job.
Corporate needs more walking corpses", of coarse you'd go and play that card.
I Know my worth and it's weight in gold, you can call me Mansa Musa.
Cant excuse the dirt thrown on my name as im stone faced like Medusa.
My noose loosenes, im rejuvenated and proven my lucidness with
each refrain, concluded two ruthless executions, the pad and pain.
Critics," You said that 14 lines ago", im back at it again.
Geez, I see why Eminem wanted to jump up outta his skin.
By all means keep sneezing at me, but I dont break I just bend
over backwards, appeasing to the scenery placed inside my head.

Truth I tell, if you wish me hell, I'll still wish you well, but
just know, just like my two sense thats inside of that wishing well,
random dissin can leave you missin, like shootin fish in a barrel.
I don't boast bitches, drugs, or wearing the presumed rich apparel.
I post scripts of visions and wisdom, I fought tooth an nail,
to prove to other humans that im worth viewing as someone whos real.
Came to conclusions, the pursuit is useless when others dont feel the same.
If your work doesn't align with theirs then they come along and spill their paint, (damn)
On your art and regardless if its hard, its still gon' be viewed as lame.
Its happened quite a few, but all it does is adds more fule to flame.
What's a guy to do? Balloonin higher is too stubborn of a mule to tame.
Real recognize real, if you can't recognize me, cool, resume your lane.
It shows this poet knows his worth, you can't make me feel Im worth less.
I see a bunch of amazing artists, you can fight over whos referred "best".
But dont get mad if you happen to see me and Ish puffin out our chests.
Whether it's true or not, what artist doesn't think that they're the best?

Playmakers dodge punches to the chin, haymakers, and assassination attempts
Can't stop game-winning plays at the end, giving up on yourself is a cardinal sin
Self-worth don't flinch, if you scared go to church don't bitch
Emerge from the darkness black tint, kinetic energy focused Gambit
We as advertised like promotional pamphlets, promoting Fight Club and I'm Brad Pitt
Promise you'll never get catfished, a habit of self-doubt outlandish
Be honest and candid, ask yourself do you still have the passion
Been carrying tradition so long I don't know who to tag-in
Old heads versus new school, same books new rules...
Top Gun, Tom Cruise, got no time for tomfools at high altitudes
Truth shrouded as profound news, round up negative attitudes
Just to rouse their point of view before releasing the hounds to plow through
Proud student of the game like Uncle Drew, handle criticism like AI crossover moves
New recruits fluent in lyricism AI can't compute, Hal Jordan Lantern ring in pursuit
Constant-Flow and IshTALKER fearless with nothing to prove
Experts who do our best work when self-worth contextured with the juice
