mikey242 - bet on myself lyrics

[intro]
i woke up this morning a saw
saw where i’m at right now you know
had no choice but to thank god bro
gotta bet on myself

[verse 1]
realize that i’m a real rapper
i’m not a trapper, not a gangster (n+gga)
not an actor
i’m reaching heights i never knew
i got a bigger ladder
and told my momma imma blow and now i’m getting laughter
i’m seeing changes in my life
i’m doing things right
but my demons try to haunt me every day and night
sometimes you gotta do it wrong before you do it right
and if you in them hard times then you gotta fight
(look)
wasn’t the smartest in my circle
i stayed away from drama
wasn’t being controversial
now i wanna be the man on thе tvs and commercials
and making sure my youngins always do what they supposеd to
and i ain’t never had it all but made it work with what i had
and yeah my father still alive
but i ain’t never had no dad
and i was lonely chasing hoes and got my heart broken bad
had my grades looking bad
and i ain’t never been that sad
in tenth grade i didn’t give a f+ck
eleven, didn’t give a f+ck
twelfth grade, momma saying
“michael, why you giving up?”
had to get my head right and get it right fast
and now i on to better things
and put them lames inside the past
(yeah)
[verse 2]
i can’t even sleep at night cuz’ that’s the only peace i like
i be taking chances, but can’t even take my own advice
this tough a year man it’s lucky just to be alive
was supposed to live it up this summer had to stay inside
lately everything been going in reverse
pray to god that i don’t end this year on a t+shirt
and we got friends k!lling friends man i’m only hearing worse
and i can’t spit another verse without my heart feeling hurt
and yeah i gotta be the man now
gotta set examples the for my people
i got fans now
i ain’t wrote the hook cause i ain’t even had this planned out
now it’s my time
i gotta execute and stand out
and you know imma stand proud
wear my cousin hand me downs feeling like a boss
tryna get new school shoes
couldn’t keep the suede soft
and i was up in shoe village
up in playtime sports
just your average everyday n+gga up in freeport
but i got a different mind now
on a different time now
gotta live my life cuz’ i don’t know when it gone wind down
always on the grind now
i know imma shine now
balling hard
the coach can’t even put me on a timeout
and this one for the upcoming rappers
the “only share my music with my friends” +coming rappers
“they laugh at you in the school gym” +coming rappers
the facebook famous, “just pretend” +coming rappers
someone gotta have the answer
(look)
i know life is a b+tch but she ain’t saying sorry
if you need me you could send a text or you could call me
i been quiet for awhile but don’t act like you lost me
i just didn’t think that you would be the one to cross me
[verse 3]
i been poppin’ off
i’m a different breed
balling like the major league
and moving at a different speed
but i don’t ever get fatigued
cause all my people gotta eat
gotta work together
i can’t see my brothers on the street
and i always spread love to the people that i meet
gotta keep away the hate and keep away the jealousy
gotta stay together (n+gga)
i’m just tryna spread some peace
and i really do this sh+t for pariz and for kennedy
(yessir)

[outro]
took a chance
had to bet it on myself
if you don’t try then you disqualify yourself
took a chance
had to bet it on myself
if you don’t try then you disqualify yourself
