Self investment

# Self-Investment

## Verse 1

First boundary's the hardest, gotta guard against my heart (yeah!)

Want to save everybody but that tears my soul apart (uh!)

Favorite person feelings got me drowning in devotion

Love her but know her feelings aren't as deep as my ocean (nah!)

All these years of history, but I gotta draw the line (facts!)

Her feelings hers so she can withhold them (what!)

Finally realized it's time that I started working on mine

Still want her in my circle, but not wrapped around my throat (ugh!)

Friendship over fixation, that's the boundary that I wrote

## Hook

I'm done chasing what I can't control (pshh!)

Time to focus on my own goals, yeah my own soul

Boundaries up, energy preserved (yeah!)

Getting back the love that I deserved (ugh!)

Back the love that I deserved (ayy!)

That I deserved

## Verse 2

Now I'm studying the patterns, how they move when pressure's on (yeah!)

First impressions ain't the truth, gotta watch 'em for a while (uh!)

Some folks show their colors when the spotlight hits their song

Others keep it real even when the battle gets hostile (nah!)

Analyzing how they handle when the drama starts to peak (facts!)

Do they bite your flow or build from what you speak? (what!)

Art reveals the artist, watch the way they treat their craft

Inspiration not imitation, that's respect that's gonna last (ugh!)

## Hook

I'm done chasing what I can't control (pshh!)

Time to focus on my own goals, yeah my own soul (blegghh!)

Boundaries up, energy preserved (yeah!)

Getting back the love that I deserved (ugh!)

Back the love that I deserved (ayy!)

That I deserved

## Verse 3

Now I'm investing in the ones who push me to my peak (yeah!)

Competition that's respectful, that's the energy I seek (uh!)

Watch them elevate their game, makes me elevate mine too

Mutual respect through the art, that's how real ones break through (nah!)

No more pouring into voids, now I'm watering the growth (facts!)

See them winning, I'm winning, that's why you honor what you wrote (what!)

Rising tides riding rhymes, that's the circle I'ma choose

Iron sharpens iron, both of us refuse to lose (ugh!)

## Final Hook

I'm done chasing what I can't control (pshh!)

Time to focus on my own goals, yeah my own soul

Boundaries up, energy preserved (yeah!)

Getting back the love that I deserved (ugh!)

Back the love that I deserved (ayy!)

That I deserved

Self-investment (yeah!)

That I deserved (done!)

Pickin you up carrying your ass back into the clear

Refilling a public well with creativity

Demonstration of lyrical adaptive abilities

Awoken the angels demons squires the muse in me

Now wound up so tight nothing else can get through to me

Lets be real let's really be real you know what I feel you know we ain't chill. Mind on the edge well I've been walking on eggshells checking betting I ain't slipping front of any you eggheads, for real. catch my Mind to the grind watch it wind up in a landfill, for real
