Don't Lead (feat. Yuuki The Traveler & Prince Skarlett)

Yuuki The Traveler

Oooooooooooo

Bad Strikers

Let me be vulnerable

Uncharacteristically humble though

The beast been loose

Making some noise

It's been my dream for so long

To put my words into song

What I would have loved

For this opportunity when I was a kid

I had potential

Silenced by everyone

Without the credentials

Go be a lawyer that's where the moneys at

You're tall, be one of them basketball players

It doesn't matter if you're good at rap

There was a basket of layers

No one wanted me to follow that dream

My strength was in poetry, creativity, wearing my heart on my sleeve

They wanted me in prose, practicality, burying my emotions to embrace my masculinity

I leaned into their ambitions, I destroyed my own vision

In this Walk

Everyone knows best

Everyone knows the cheat code

Everyone wants to flex

Must I be cold

Suddenly you know what I need

I allowed you to play a role

Step off the lead

I know what I want to be

In this game

Our roads may converge

But our paths are not the same

Not the same

Not the same

I still think back to Nspired Minds

Mr J, sold me a lie

Kept me in the back

Crop me out

Let me fade to black

That's wack

My dear father figure

The Kingpin Pastor Filler

One day I'll unravel and I'll pull the trigger

Unload everything I have written

I'm a day one

Loyal

I'll run the fade

For you

But you reject me like a day 2

Sacrifice me like a day new

And you're lost why I suddenly can't stand you

All your advice is back handed insults

But I'm tired of handing everyone the pen

And my book

I'm rebooting the series, no longer are ya the author

To my monstrosity

Now if I'm the villain, it's because I decided to be

In this Walk

Everyone knows best

Everyone knows the cheat code

Everyone wants to flex

Must I be cold

Suddenly you know what I need

I allowed you to play a role

Step off the lead

I know what I want to be

In this game

Our roads may converge

But our paths are not the same.

Two worlds colliding

Two egos fighting

One last push

You are my mental adversary

But growing up is maturing knowing you wanted the best for me but caused the death of me

Yeah

Every Morning I wake

Stuck in a different head space

Thinking about how disappointed

A younger me would be

Seeing that I wasted every single

Opportunities he spent his time

Paving the way

All ambitions abandoned just to survive

Trying to prove to the world that you still got what it takes

Sacrificing your self to the next mistake

Debt this and debt that

Want this

Which of your meals will you skip?l

Even the people that were supposed to be by your side eventually dip

Soon you find yourself alone in this abyss

Until you learn Until I learn

This isn't for you

This is for me

Bad Strikers

Ooooooooooooo
