Pgalmmvgtyyy - OutShine (feat. Lani)

I try to outshine the rain

They all generic but it's funny I'm the one that's value great
Try to tell em, they ont never realize until it's late
Watch the younger generation reliving all my mistakes
I can't fail em, I just try to point em in the right direction, if they out of place
But they ain't really quite receptive
Cause they got learn it by they self but I try not to let em
Instead I try to embed with my perspective, but it's barely much that I can really tell em
Specially when they mind is damaged from a life of pain

All these devices left and right that lead they mind astray
And those of fame only teach em the stereotypes we claim
And in the damn school they try to amp you, and try to say
That time is ample, take that light, cause that's a lie it ain't
And everyday society change
For better or for worse but it seem like it's declining lately
Feel like the last line of defense in my zone like I'm a safety
They ont let the real ones prosper, so I might not even make it, do that make a difference
But fame outweigh bout everything to all these lame ass niggas
They need validation, ride the wave whatever came out trending
All fun and games until you face conviction
Get a rude awakening, so rethink the way you make decisions
But I can't blame em entirely cause this life is crazy
But no matter how you was raised you can get yo mindset changed
Don't let yo life down the drain cause it's gon be brighter days
So I keep beating the dryer until the cycle break
And while you hate this life yea OK but just kno you gotta remain
On the right path tho it's hard to deal with pain you tired ain't you
Every time you been doubted but you always gon find a way
Everybody goal to be a boss like it's the final stage
Aye and everybody plan to get rich
But if it's that simple tho why don't you know nobody who is
Everybody think they special, well what make you the exception
Separate you from the rest, you gotta prove why you ain't regular
Be prepared for the unplanned they gon try throw you off schedule
I'm official, y'all a lil artificial, like prosthetics
My whole life they tried to tell me I was smart but I ain't catch it
'Til I realized everybody else ain't intellectual
I just tried to be regular, but time and time again
I proved myself that I wasn't tho and now I stand here corrected
It's a curse same time I'm blessed tho but I don't need no Allegra
Am I the answer or the question, all I know is I got a leg up
Aye, but I'm fed up

My daughter is a blessing tho, an understatement
When I say the shyt y'all playing games, I really hate it
Man fuck it if you on yo shyt, you seeming basic
I'ma bad doctor, thin up on my patience, I ain't waiting
Right but now I'm in my bag again
So fuck everything that they talking bout cause they can't rap again
Love Black Lives, but mfs kno that I ain't Kapernick
Cause if niggas start talkin shyt, then we can get yo ratchet friends
And I be talkin bout the guns, fuck it if you sounding dumb
Don't get no love and give two fucks about a bitch I used to fuck
Everybody all on my name tryna throw dirt on it
Like ion give a fuck what you sayin, you ain't got work for it

It hurts more when you work hard get no love for it
It irks nerves even worse how they deter from it
But turn forward I've much sort of adjusted on it
I try to outshine the rain
