The Journey Lyrics
[Verse 1: M.Wade]
Mercy to the Berkeley
Find me on my journey
If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working
You claim that you love me, but you too busy twerking
I find it funny how they treat me and say I'm a different person
But everything was good just a week ago
Guess this how it feels when I'm in album mode
They say when you first take shots, take em kinda slow
Can't afford them diamonds but it's looking like I just proposed
To the game, now I'm trying make a name
Tell me it's different but somehow it feel the same
Brought a lot of bills, they say the game need changed (X2)
I got connections, yea I got connections
But I never thought money would be worse than rejection
I mean of course I want my account all figured out
But who's to say once I'm signed I'll have it all figured out, go figure
They never said I changed until I started painting these pictures
It's looking like a demolition derby
A lot of players in the game without a jersey
They suit up for them shoots around a though, please believe it
Give em a 9 like 3 triples
Watch em drive right by the defense
Lyricism for the streets
With my city dawg I had to make some peace
There's gonna be some violence, there's gonna be some drugs
Niggas gonna leave they kids, they all wanna be some thugs
But that's where it all begins
19 years I've been searching for a win
Hopefully with some kids that I would love to call friend
I'm in the majors and it's feeling like 86
You'd think I was Roger Clemens the way a nigga pitch, for real
Life's a deck of cards I'm still waiting on my deal
Sign me up for all that shit, whatever gets me to a mill
Already lost too many people to ever worry bout how I feel
And that's real, them boys pop more shit than pills
Ain't nothing change man a dollar still a dollar
Niggas acting outta pocket, that's something that still bothers me
Feeling like Jesus, a ton of people follow me
I look up to one nigga, it's the muh'fucker that fathers me
I'm still a prodigy, that's why I'm always Mobbin' Deep
Never making it is something I still think about
I'm thinking bout my life
I'm just hoping that can live it out
So I made it clear to myself
I wanted to marry to my dreams
So I cheated on fear and broke up with my doubt
Mercy to the Berkeley
Find me on my journey
If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working
You claim that you love me, but you too busy twerking
I find it funny how they treat me and say I'm a different person
But everything was good just a week ago
Guess this how it feels when I'm in album mode
They say when you first take shots, take em kinda slow
Can't afford them diamonds but it's looking like I just proposed
To the game, now I'm trying make a name
Tell me it's different but somehow it feel the same
Brought a lot of bills, they say the game need changed (X2)
