Protagonist - Switch Up Lyrics

Look at the life we livin
I dont want my decisions to to hand me a life in prison
Look at the life we livin
I dont want my decisions to to hand me a life in prison
So I gotta do better now
My baby boy watchin I don't wanna let em down

I sit down then I start writin
Soon as I find another track that I can spark life in
Did you think I missed it, no matter the verse I'm never simplistic
They said I was gifted but really though I was just tryna get wicked
Ughhh not in a biblical sense but you get the picture dont ya
Just picture my poster, it's too many ways I can flip the culture
I tried to give em some versatility on this project
A little pinch of what I can do somewhere in the process
They are not really purposeful in the steps
They just be doin stuff, somehow they collectin checks
That must be SSI money or somethin
Cant even walk and chew gum I don't know how they function
That's not my business, dont even want to witness
They pissin me off so much dont know if I wanna practice forgiveness
I know, it's the best option but it's not as fun
But if I really get to snappin niggas got to run

I know its about more than rappin all the time
I'm braggin again I know it happens all the time
I love the way people repeatin all my phrases
I love the way they let me know that I'm amazin
I'm just tryna get my time in the lime then I'm fallin back
So I can lay up in a culdesac
And I'm lookin forward to all of that
That ignorance can keep callin but I ain't callin back

But I have yet to go off
Dont wanna over do it, I can only be so raw
I wanted to make them respect lyrics again
But uhh, its just me now standin here wit a pen
Its uhhhh necessary, I just wanna be legendary
And give em somethin no matter what they could never bury
I think I'm on to somethin, you niggas on the corner frontin
If I wanted to do it, yall woulda been lookin like water, runnin
Its nothin for me to break down, woulda been a shakedown
But I dont wanna go too deep cause most of the people couldnt relate now
But say pal, is everything fine look like ya stressin
Got questions, why you put all your heart inside ya weapon
If you get faced without it what could you possibly do
Alot of em walkin facades and they not even cool
But I ain't comin down on ya I'm just askin homie
Alot of niggas ain't even lastin homie

I know its about more than rappin all the time
I'm braggin again I know it happens all the time
I love the way people repeatin all my phrases
I love the way they let me know that I'm amazin
I'm just tryna get my time in the lime then I'm fallin back
So I can lay up in a culdesac
And I'm lookin forward to all of that
That ignorance can keep callin but I ain't callin back
