Lyrics
I was raised to believe that I was a king in the making
From childhood, I was taught I had potential to achieve greatness.
The world is mine for the taking I see that nothing changed
Despite this belief, the world remains unchanged; opportunities aren't readily available.
If I break to my knees, the only reason I'm praying
If I pray when facing difficulties, it's for time or patience, scarce resources.
Is either time or for patience there aint enough to waste
Time and patience are valuable and shouldn't be wasted.
c short kid short tempered singing life is short
A person, short in stature and temper, aware that life is brief.
Who could do right with his writing and has the right support
Someone who aims to do right with their writing and seeks proper support.
I was taught who to fight but not what I'm fighting for
Received guidance on whom to fight but lacks clarity on the cause.

Upbringing instilled belief in manifesting dreams into reality.
I think it into existence and look what I became

cnd if I break from the seams, Ill leave my heart in these stitches
Metaphorically, when stressed, leaves emotional scars but perseveres.
Of open wounds I've been given I know that life is pain
Understands that life involves enduring pain and suffering.
c short kid short tempered singing life is short
Emphasizes life's brevity, echoing earlier sentiments.

Compares music and prostitution, likening self-exploitation for profit.

I'm dime a dozen ‘cuz my circles the smallest
Feels commonplace due to a limited, close-knit social circle.
while y'all were the quarters it makes sense that nothing would change

If they aint fucking with me fuck ‘em I'm in love with complaints
Dismisses those not supportive, valuing criticism as a sign of relevance.
They just aren't used to artists having something to say

Balancing work and leisure is challenging when both are enjoyable.

Takes pride in creating his own path, being innovative.
