Never Been a Problem - Stitches

I've been workin' like I've never been I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now What I-, what I know right now I'd be better than I've ever been Better than I've ever been You ever wonder what it all really means? Heart full of dreams I know I'mma do it, go get it by any means Serving food for the thought like it's rock to the fiends I said this shit for years boy, this life ain't what it seems Sayin' that you can't just solidifies that you never will Said you would, said you could, but you ain't got the skill You gotta climb the highest mountain to master the hill You gotta climb over your ego to master your will Gave up on your dreams for a suit and a pension God damn, I hope you're here for the intervention You say you would if you had the money Don't make me mention That it'll cost you nothin' but time for you to pay attention Now, don't get me wrong I know there's people out there hatin' on ya And it feel like your self-esteem is breakin' on ya All they ever seem to do is hate when you speak They spend seven days preyin' on the weak I know the world sleepin' on ya like a sedative Talk all you want about me homie, I'mma let it live Hater this, hater that, say I sound repetitive Hatin' in your blood, you was born to be negative Never been I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now What I-, what I know right now I'd be better than I've ever been Better than I've ever been This is dedicated to everyone that never made it And the people that persevered even though they was hated They had a dream and a vision that they follow like a religion But on the real the road to success is prone to collision And every now and then something happens that's unexpected Like that newborn in your life because you fuckin' unprotected And I swear nobody perfect, hell I know I ain't Yeah, I know this verse is heaven sent but I'm far from a saint Live a life with no complaints, tryna do just what I can Learn from my father's mistakes and become a better man Now plant a seed and watch 'em grow, teach 'em everything I know Show him how to fight his battles and always go toe to toe And this I know 'cause I been high, low, right, wrong But I had to do it all just so I could write this song I spit knowledge like the listener is my only son And grip the mic like I'm at war and it's my only gun Sometimes this journey to the top can be a lonely one Yeah, and this victory lap a lonely run While my hometown screamin' you the chosen one Tellin' myself, don't choke, don't be the frozen one I've been workin' like I've never been I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in And if I knew back then what I know right now What I-, what I know right now I'd be better than I've ever been Better than I've ever been I've been workin' like I've never been (never been) I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in (devil in) And if I knew back then what I know right now (right now) What I-, what I know right now I'd be better than I've ever been Better than I've ever been (better than I've ever been) I've been workin' like I've never been (never been) I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in (devil in) And if I knew back then what I know right now (I know right now) I know right now (know right now) Ever been, better than I've ever been (ever been) Ever been (oh-oh) Ever been (oh-oh) (Don't you have a taste?)
