Confession
SonReal Lyrics

My lust for money is never what made me better
Money was not the driving force behind my success

I used to hide all my feelings, I put them under my sweater
I used to suppress my emotions and keep them hidden

But the time we spent apart was the time that kept us together
Being apart helped us appreciate and value our time together

Now the time we spent together it's the time that's getting us cheddar
The time we spend together now is making us money

Yeah, that brings me back to my first line
This idea connects back to the first line in the song

You can blame this shit I'm writing on my birth sign
I use my astrological sign as an excuse for my writing

I fell in love with the feeling when you were feeling so
I fell in love with the feeling of making others feel good

Ever since I've been killing it every minute like
Since then, I have been succeeding and doing well

Light time, I'm representing for rain
I am representing for my city, which is often rainy

Cause that's all my city know, I ain't feeling one and the same with
My city is all I know and I don't feel the same as others

Those talking about it never really saying anything
People who talk a lot don't always have something important to say

Innovating it's just the spot from which we came from
Innovation comes from our origins

So when I'm rapping never rapping like I'm rapping in front of a
When I'm rapping, I'm not rapping as if I'm performing for a

Couple drunk chicks saying that I'm the man
I'm not performing for a couple of intoxicated women who admire me

I'm rapping like UBG, ain't rapping like you would stand
I'm rapping like UBG and not like anyone else

And I rap like you say I couldn't and I rap like you say I can't
I rap to prove people wrong who say I can't do it

Good morning to this show, act here to wallow
I am here to perform and entertain

Drop good news then the closers follow
I share positive news and others follow suit

This year the first year that them hoes is on you
This year, people are paying attention to you

That's when my man said pretty soon them bros will follow
My friend said soon others will follow suit

I always wanted to sing but was too afraid of it
I always wanted to sing but was too scared to try

So I'm thinking I'm doing it because they love it
Now I'm singing because others enjoy it

Shouts to cudi im open to what im doing
I am inspired by Kid Cudi and open to my direction

But im bout to take it somewhere where ain't no one been moving
I'm going to take my music somewhere new and different

.my girl say she love me, I tell her why don't you prove it
My girlfriend says she loves me, but I challenge her to show me

But when she ask me the same I always start acting stupid
When she asks me the same, I act foolish and avoid it

That's how I felt about my music till I committed my vision
I didn't fully believe in my music until I had a clear vision

Now I know there's nothing to it
Now I realize it's not as difficult as I thought

God, I never been too good at interviews
I'm not great at interviews

I'm getting better, take it slow just like a interlude
I am improving and taking it slow

I show 'em proof similar to how a winner do
I prove myself like a winner would

But in the scheme of things I'm really a beginner (oh!)
In the grand scheme of things, I am still a beginner

Striving for better, my people know it
My friends and fans know I am always striving to improve

I don't pass on any chance man I pick and I roll it
I don't pass on any opportunities and I take advantage of them

Pull light to all this before it exploded
I shed light on this before it gained popularity

So won't you fuckin and tell me shit when I pop it, don't blow it *(blow it)
Don't come to me with negativity when I am succeeding

Couch surfing like I'm wake skating
I am living a laid-back, relaxed lifestyle

No breakfast, all I had was wake and bakin, now
Instead of eating breakfast, I got high and now I'm here

Now I'm close to making bacon'paper making
Now I am close to making money

And I don't even chop no trees like i got no leaves
I don't work in forestry, but I am still capable

People always love to get their opinions
People enjoy sharing their opinions

I love to hear 'em, but they probably wouldn't have them if they looking in the mirror
I enjoy hearing opinions, but people may not have them if they reflected on themselves

I just give them Windex to make sure that it's clearer
I suggest people clean their mirrors so they can see more clearly

Insecurities a little more cocky than they appear like
Insecurities can make someone seem overly confident

Even the greatest were hated on
The best of the best were still criticized and disliked

Used that as my motivation never to tag along
I use that as my motivation to be unique and not follow the crowd

With all these robots doing what they be telling
Too many people blindly follow others without thinking for themselves

I prefer to take the lead like Megatron
I prefer to be a leader and make my own path

Just some miles that I'm tryna whack'the shit to give a heart attack
I am working hard and pushing myself to the limit

And ever since its been my body that can't adapt'cause if we talking credit then you know I got a lot of that
I have been pushing myself so hard that my body struggles to keep up, but I have achieved a lot of success

Funny thing is this like a twelfth of my potential
This is only a small fraction of what I am capable of

Times this by twelve, you looking at something mental
If I reach my full potential, I would be something remarkable

You looking right at a gentleman rocking an '80's Letterman
You are looking at a gentleman wearing a 1980s Letterman jacket

Rookie looking a veteran, fuck it, you better let it breathe
I look like a seasoned professional, so let me show you what I'm capable of

Feeling Mandela when jealousy occur, you can cut and fucking be my acapella do the work
When I feel jealous, I am inspired by Nelson Mandela and I use that as motivation. You can join me and help me accomplish great things.
