Z vs Z

Destined for a greatness
 All my life was painted
 How to make a mark if these brushes been stainless
 How do I move on if this heart remains vengeful?
 I forgive the old me but sometimes I forget to
 Be a little strong
 See I'm bigger than my wrongs
 Lying to his face but I'm honest in the song
 And I'm honest when I say, the drug can really change
 Breakin us apart be it money, power or the 'caine
 This ain't meant for kids, lil house on the prairie
 Pourin out the past, you know damn well that shit is scary
 Shower me with green, you know that's just the envy
 Cut me off the bill but they know they cannot end me
 Hard to piss me off when I be on my zen shit
 Used to ball the court now I'm watching by the benches
 Had to shift the views, turn the loss to wins
 So I wouldn't change a thing even if I had the chance ho
 They never knew a diamond in the making when they saw one
 They only knew bidness when the stakes in, that was all front
 Lil me, I was sixteen, with big dreams, so they all jumped
 Fought back, when the OP dead, like a talk back yeah they all stunned
 Cautious with the clauses
 Workin with no pauses
 Haters is common when dis cheque come wit commas
 And karma is a bitch, oh
 If you is a snitch, oh
 Sidelined by society still I score all the free throws
 My mind has got the message so I must be the messiah
 Elevated on a level that's higher than the Himalayas
 Cause I'm preachin for the truth and I'm speakin for the youth
 Put everything on the line, I ain't got nothing left to lose, ooh
 Losing is never an option
 Repeat until its subconscious
 I don't respond to no nonsense
 I don't respond to no nonsense
 Bitch you are not of importance
 You and your fuckin endorsements
 Fuck outta here with your comments
 Fuck outta here with your comments
 Had to lose the hope and cope with
 Showin my own flaws is part of growing
 Beauty in the body of the beast up
 On the mic, why can't I be both then?
 Talkin way too much, too little action man shit is gettin old
 Refuse to still believe that success is based on genetic codes
 Found a purpose in my path, ain't never been this present
 Had to learn the hard way the negatives are just blessings
 Make the same mistakes till you turn it to a lesson
 Put a mic and pen and paper tell me that is not a weapon
 And I'm gone
