[Verse 1]
Yeah, look
I'm sitting in the crib unemployed
My dreams of the league are null in void
A dollar on a string what I'm running for
I got one now I need a hundred more
Didn't go to school on scholarship
My nigga Stafon did he was all state
We were only focused on older hoes
And in turn we had to learn the hard way
West LA did me no good
Skipping every class like all day
I waited for my niggas in the hallways
Then took Jeff down to Broadway
Spent all day at G crib
Plotting out writing songs
Trying to get it popping on datpiff
My only way out was a microphone
I, walked back to the bus stop
I gotta make it home before the street lights is on
Get caught slipping niggas light your dome
And I got brand new Nikes on
I put everything that have in the music with nothing to lose I deserve that
I sat down with 4 A&Rs a year passed and I never heard back and that's real
God damn
[Chorus]
I been trying to keep my head high
I'm just weighing all my options
I can go and let the lead fly
But it's weighing on my conscience
I been trying to keep my head high
I'm just weighing all my options
I can go and let the lead fly
[Verse 2]
Look
Coming live and direct from the south of the 10 gold chain on my neck
Still living in debt pops need my half of the rent I'm in need of a check
Gotta clean my room by the end of the day lord knows Imma leave it a mess
Mom told me to go to the store for chips with a 10 then leave me the rest, ah
I got a friend names Joe off of West Blvd with rocks in his fist
He just listen to Weezy or Pac on the block all day hot box in the whip
But he gotta 9 to 5 on the side now he think to himself should he clock in or quit?
Lifestyle got him boxed in a pit still juggle with an option to pick
Yeah, no call no show or no update, 10 new missed calls like hold up wait
His supervisors left voicemails didn't call back didn't give no update but
He tryna be a better man for the fam and a gram won't stand in the way
Started getting ready as he planned for the day on his way to work got jammed in a raid, damn
Sing along now
[Chorus]
I been trying to keep my head high
I'm just weighing all my options
I can go and let the lead fly
But it's weighing on my conscience
I been trying to keep my head high
I'm just weighing all my options
I can go and let the lead fly
[Outro]
I been trying to keep my head high
I'm just weighing all my options
I can go and let the lead fly
