Truth 2 U

too many times in life i’ve been overlooked

i’ve been rejected, nobody must have not

known how to deal with a genius like myself

others have been chosen over me

because i overwhelm every person that i meet

i mean, you couldn’t handle me

i’ve been picked on, laughed at

straight up ridiculed

chased off, told to rot and die away

as i take my final breath

they’ll still make fun of me anyway

too many times in life i’ve been the underdog

i’ve been overlooked and doubted

couldn’t get certain opportunities because nobody was bold enough

to take a chance on me until i decided to take one on myself

i became willing to push myself

i became willing to do all the work

i became willing to take the initiative by letting art transform my mental wellbeing

too many times in life i’ve been the underdog

no more

those days are over

savage writer is in the driver's seat now

i’m taking control

i’m letting my destiny unfold

nobody on this planet can determine what i’m worth

you can’t define me, i'm unapologetically khali

if you don’t like me, fine

you must not like yourself

because your self hatred is so deep

i don’t even need an incision to see how much of it you bleed with

your conscience has wounds deeper than the ones on your skin

i let my wounds seal up

allowed them some room to heal

wasn’t overnight, didn’t happen in a couple hours

i’m riding on that strength, it better not fail on me now

how great do you gotta be to be great

some days dealing with suicidal thoughts is a pain

but you know through it all you still gotta hold on

because your story of triumph could inspire somebody else

think about everyone that’s counting on you

don’t grow your angel wings on me just yet

stick it out for a bit, promise you

it gets better
