The Reason Lyrics

[Intro]

[Hook]
I'm stuck looking for a reason
But there's no where to go
I got to find my way, my way so I don't fall

[Verse 1]
These motherfuckers in the game always want me to change
But I'mma try to be myself dog, go pick your own lane

I'm, one of the same, only 17 living
I'm stressed cause of all the bad grades I be getting

Running round the hallways, screwing shit up
I be trying to have a ball man, doing it up
I never hate, only looking for reasons to celebrate
In my senior year, all of my classes are hella great, cause I take none
The experience I came from are great
Always keep some good tree, stay baked son
You can get your cake son, I'mma keep it real
My music soon to be the only thing that you will feel
I be working so hard, that I can't even go out no more
What the hell do I be rapping for? Because I love to share my message
I ain't macking whores, maybe a little son
My mind's going back and fourth, It's all good

[Hook]
I'm stuck looking for a reason
But there's no where to go
I got to find my way, my way so I don't fall
[Verse 2]
Ayo Cam, when the CD drop?
Cause all my fans wanna see this young player on top
Cause I can rock, show love, man I'm giving my props
Like it or not, I'll be planting some crops, rocking some crocs, nah
But I'mma tell it to your ass straight up
These other rappers got an image in there mind made up
Of who they wanna be, running away from their own persona, B
Maybe you will buy my CD if I told you I'mma G
But I'm not, grabbing the mic and I rock
I bomb shows like you see me headlining in Iraq

But I gots to be the realest, I promise to reconcile
That my rhyming ability is on top of the fucking building
I'm, sick of these kids getting bullied to death
Sick of my teachers who ain't even tell the bully to step

Sick of my mom calling me and watching every step
I know she love me but I'm trying to be my own man, yes, I feel blessed

[Hook]x2
I'm stuck looking for a reason
But there's no where to go
I got to find my way, my way so I don't fall

[Outro]
I'm lost in the road
I'm lost in the road
I'm lost in the road
I'm lost in the road
Yeah, yeah
I'm lost in the road
I'm lost in the road
I'm lost in the road
I'm lost in the road
I'm lost in the road
Yeah, yeah
I'm lost in the road
[Hook]x2
I'm stuck looking for a reason
But there's no where to go
I got to find my way, my way so I don't fall
