Roadblocks ft. Empre$$ Lyrics

I guess it's just me and issues homie

Looking for different ways to get into the game, nothing was the same

Used to dream of being a millionaire all my stories untold

I spent some time to develop a brand new book of my own

I'm still young and I'm learning new stuff as I go along

I wanna get a royalty whenever I perform a song

Wasn't easy for me, guess I'm the right man to do it

If I don't step outside this box I swear for Christ imma lose it

When I moved into the hood it nearly broke my mother's heart

But she knew I was a man and that We'll never break apart

And I really don't give a fuck either

You can drop harder than ya body once it stops breathing

My grandma thinks I need medication

These niggas think they fucking with me, I be getting aggravated

Growing up, I got four lil sisters

And I will hurt you motherfuckers if I catch you playing with her

I grew up as an only child without no father figure

I think he said we can't afford to pose a family picture

This shit got me bouncing in circles look how my life turned around

Nobody heard me before, so are you hearing me now?

I walk around with my head in the clouds these roadblocks out here chasing me down

These roadblocks out here chasing me down

Roadblocks out here chasing me down

I used to think that this was never gonna be reality

Til I saw the newest rappers on the television screen

After that I knew my vision was way more just than a dream

Fascinated by the luxuries of getting cream

And now I gotta team of artists with the same vision

We chase paper make music on the same mission

They told me once that I could never be the top ten

But imma prove em wrong as I did again and again

Nowadays I sit and write the shit that's on my mind

To all my people in the struggle its about that time

Stay on ya grind and be humble cuz the world is bout to end

I need love more than I need a friend

Let's not pretend that I ain't brought my city back on the map

And rep my squad to the fullest now how crazy is that

To all the ones that dont believe me finna teach y'all a lesson

The power lies beneath my pen and imma keep on expressing

My inner animal is hungry for some verbal assassins

I run with niggas with figures that do this shit with a passion

Done laughing at these mother fuckers steady relaxing

You sounded sick for thirty minutes then you started relapsing

I'm backtracking you class actors get turned to a dead rapper

This pain I feel keeps me immortalized til I'm dead after

Roadblocks

Chained up to the bed I can't find my way

Man I look in the mirror just don't feel the same

I'm fighting demons, my life ain't even, I think I'm evil

With a golden smile, I think this happiness could take a while

Can't eat, can't sleep, man i miss my family

Contemplating my life, they don't understand me

I'm wearing clothes I don't like, getting told what to do

And I'm surrounded by bitches that ain't got nothing to lose

That's why I write all these rhymes cause I got something to prove

I hear talk behind my back I guess it's funny to you

Take heed of these words, nightmares are the worst

While you downgrading bitches, I just left with your mistress

But it's cool though, I ain't stressing the bullshit

Cause I'm coming back home, been gone for too long

These roadblocks in my life, but I'm still going strong

It's cause I'm dedicated
