Evolution
Mirror Monk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always kept it true
Look what they do to me
This money and this fame shit
Man that's new to me
It's hard to tell the truth
Just from what you see
They don't know about the stress
On a nigga mind
The yes when a nigga shine
Forget when a nigga trying
They could never touch the pain that I feel
That's why I do what I want
I'm not containing my real
When I come thru and I stunt
I'm just displaying my skills
I would listen to what you say
If it was paying my bills
But it's not, so just stop
With the bicker, and the talk
Who he is?, What he was?
What he did and what he got?
Who his bitch is?
We See all deem pictures
Why you acting different?
I'm tryna get richer
I hustled hard and graduate from the streets
I made my money
Now they hating on me
Why they hating on me?
HOOK
(Monk)
Came into this game
Never did I think that anything was gonna change
Niggas fallin out
And bitches all about the fame
Yeah a nigga ballin
But i'm calling out the pain
Yeah I ain't the same
(Kiddo)
& Why they say I changed?
Like I worked my ass off
So I could stay the same
Cuz i'm real
They probably fake
So you know we can't relate
Understand niggas gon hate
You gotta charge it to the game
Why they say I changed?
Verse 2
(Kiddo)
Came up wit a plan
And then I executed
Cuz nobody give a damn
When you making excuses
Everybody got a path
And it's yo choice to chose it
Every one ain't got a mind
Just stay strong
And don't lose it
I'm all about the cream
The shit you see on Toaster Struddles
Running to the path of Success
You lazy, go take a U-ber
And hell no I ain't rich
But i'm soon to be
And you could hate me now
That shit ain't new to me
Cuz i'm busy doing me
What you want me to do?
Want me to lose focus on me?
And put focus on you
I could never be a hater
I ain't dumb enough
I'm just tryna touch mo' papah
I ain't thumb enough
Wit a little bit of grind
And a little bit of time
I could fly and touch the sky, yeah
Stay up on ya shit
That's whats gon' get ya snake friends hurt
Wanna make enemies?
Make some friends first
