Mark My Words

I don't need many words when I rhyme
I was raised on Slim Shady, Emicida, Linkin Park and Kendrick in my mind
I'm not the best in the game yet, I know that's the truth
But every day I'm getting closer, every line is my proof
Because every war in this life starts inside the mind
Stay strong, stay patient, everything aligns with time
I work nights, I work days, no complaining, no chill
Life's just another shift that I carry with will

When I think about it, yeah, I earned the right to talk
Everything I got came from sweat and the walk
I had friends that were never really friends from the start
Took me years just to see who was fake in the heart
Any trash in your life, man, you cut it away
Let it go, let it die, don't let poison stay
Evil? You cut that evil straight down at the root
Good? That's a seed that you water with truth

Now I see empty people living lives that look grand
But they paying with a loneliness they barely can stand
Then I see brilliant minds living stuck in the dirt
While the system rewards all the power and the hurt
But the harvest is coming, yeah, the truth's on the way
And when it hits the world it won't be gentle that day
So the question is simple, tell me straight if you will
Are you ready for the storm
Or you folding for real?

I can separate wheat from the lies and the fraud
No mercy for impulses feeding chaos and flaws
Some battles I paid for with sweat and with blood
Other wars I'll pay with courage rising like a flood
So pray you don't stand in my way with dark thoughts in your head
'Cause I'll break through anything that stands where I tread
Every wall, every storm, every shadow I face
I'm walking straight toward destiny, picking up pace

Mark my words
I wasn't born just to exist
I came here to leave a mark
Unpredictable mind
Unbreakable will
You won't see me coming
But when I hit, you'll know it's me
Mark my words
I wasn't born just to exist
I came here to leave a mark

Are you ready for the storm
Or you folding for real?

I can separate wheat from the lies and the fraud
No mercy for impulses feeding chaos and flaws
Some battles I paid for with sweat and with blood
Other wars I'll pay with courage rising like a flood

So pray you don't stand in my way with dark thoughts in your head
'Cause I'll break through anything that stands where I tread
Every wall, every storm, every shadow I face
I'm walking straight toward destiny, picking up pace

Mark my words

I wasn't born just to exist
I came here to leave a mark

Unpredictable mind
Unbreakable will

You won't see me coming
But when I hit, you'll know it's me
