Joyner Lucas, world powerful artist
What is it about him that you like?
He was saying a lot of lines that I saw some of me in that
But at the same time, it?was?different?because it was?like he's no?compromising bars to tell his story
He still got complexity in there
Like he's taking you on his journey
And I never snapped out of that journey 'til it was over
And I was like, "Yo, this kid is fuckin' incredible"
Straight out the mud, the kitchen is dirty, just hit up the blunt
Then cop me a 30, I'm not who I was
The vision was blurry, I'm seein' shit clear, that bitch is murky
When I was a kid I thought I was worthy of feelin' some love
But love ain't deserve me, I wish I knew then that lovin' that hurt me
I'd sever that bridge before it can burn me
My mama was hard, my daddy concerned
Was beatin' my ass, he showed me no mercy
Thought he was Joe, the whippers was dirty
He tried to make music, the shit wasn't workin'
He taught me to rap, was practicin' early
I wanted a dad, but he never earned me
His traded his sons for power of attorney
I traded his love for diamonds and pressure
I'm not who you knew, don't act like you know me
A lot of shit change, I'm not like the old me
The money and fame will never control me
But I went through things I wish you done told me
I still need the change from niggas who owe me
I won't take the blame for callin' you broski
That's really your name, you used to be brodie
But now you a lame, you niggas can blow me
A whole lot of money, a whole lot of fakes
Red dots on your body, I know how to trace
I don't need stunt 'cause I know how to shake it
If I wanna stunt, I just pull out the safe
Whole lot of cake, and I know how bake
Parkin' lot pimpin', I feel like the wraith
I bury you niggas you pull out the Wraith
You showin' your card, but you still not a ace
Some niggas tell me I remind 'em of Em
The MM LP album had me on ten
The shit I was goin' through made me a stan
A lot of that pain I was still holdin' in
Niggas who hate him the same ones who hate me
Then smile in my face and be shakin' my hand
Crazy how even back then, always knew that one day I'd relate to the way that I am
(Ayy, ayy)
That's the way that I am
(Joyner, Joyner, Joyner)
It's the way that I am
(Uh, uh, uh)
It's the way that I am
Crazy how even back then, always knew that one day I'd relate to the way that I am
(Ayy, ayy)
Takin' a chance, I'm shakin' the dice
She used to be a ho, you made her your wife
Don't matter if I lose, I came here to fight
I feel like two wrongs gon' make me alright
I'm talkin' my shit, ain't sayin' it nice
I'm save these drugs, I'm raisin' the price
Your energy's trash, you say that it's life
My angels are black and Satan is white
I sprinkle some glass and made you some rice
My chopper gon' blast, I'm aimin' it snipe
I ain't on the 'Gram and came here for likes
You stay on the 'Gram and you came here to type
Patrollin' the comments, you lookin' for spam
You really a fan, go take you a hike
Climb up the mountain and jump off the top
Your body gon' pop, no savin' your life
You lookin' at me, I see hate in your eyes
It's obvious you want a fake out the side
Your whole life is made up, I ain't too surprised
The industry phoney, it made up of lies
They keepin' me out, but I'm breakin' inside
I'm snatchin' the crown and I'm takin' what's mine
These industry bitches won't rate me with pride
I put 'em together and make a collage
Niggas tell me I remind 'em of Em
The MM LP album had me on ten
The shit I was goin' through made me a stan
A lot of that pain I was still holdin' in
Niggas who hate him the same ones who hate me
Then smile in my face and be shakin' my hand
Crazy how even back then, always knew that one day I'd relate to the way that I am
(Ayy, ayy)
That's the way that I am
(Joyner, Joyner, Joyner)
It's the way that I am
(Uh, uh, uh)
It's the way that I am
Crazy how even back then, always knew that one day I'd relate to the way that I am

Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
