Buddy (1998) - Silas

What’s my purpose

Know it’s deeper than the surface

Everything these people say is nothing

Know that they be fronting

Cause I came up in a time

Rhyming specials on my mind

Just wanna be the illest

And hope that the world gon feel us

But fuck it I’m on my own shit

The shit that make me feel good

Remind back when I started just to feel good

Like we ain’t from the hood but I see it as my outlet

People sayin I’d be nothing now they never doubt em

Chip on my shoulder my girl been pushin Corollas

I need a change here man I need a change fear

Out my muhfuckin mind till I’m finally seeing clear

If you didn’t know my family always called me buddy

Swear I used to fuckin hate it now I think back to the lovely times

Stress ain’t all up on my mind just started to bust a rhyme

Swear I know what I been here to do

Can’t let fear control you tryna see the real in you

I feel a difference on these late nights I been happier

My energy enclosed for something great and I suppose

That my life is on a different path deeper than this rap

And I swear that I can help the people stop em from just livin evil

Buddy buddy do you know how I been feelin now

Pushin thru this life and I been praying that you figure out

Take em back to when I used to say I’ll find a way

Feels like a decade and no there ain’t no time to waste

But do you really know the truth cause when I rhyme it through

Know these verses heaven sent for every thing that I been through

Kyle Seth And Tyler done seen it I’m talkin dreamin

Leaving anger in the past cause the pain it never last

Time to focus why I fell in love wit rappin

Here’s what happens when you put a boy wit nuffin inside of a booth come packin'

You lacking to show ya roots you lackin just go and tell the truth

Can’t let fear control you I’m tryna see the real in you
