[Verse 1: Joshua Morata]
Okay we're bringing back the realness: dopest kid alive like
"How's he gonna drop some fire while he hates his home life?"
I dunno, but I wanna see myself go [somewhere] far
Even if it means convincing myself I'm a superstar
Gotta keep my circle small, gotta cut the players off
Starting fires like we threw some fireballs and Molotovs
This ain't a play for one, we got others on this grind
Got a couple guests in line, listen to what's on my mind

[Verse 2: Kid Devilish]
You gotta see the gimmick when I walk up in the business
All these n***as tryna mimic this shit I do with my spirits
Yeah, they callin' me "The Poet", they gon' love me 'til I blow it
They gon' call me counterfeit, maybe call me a hypocrite
But I know it is essential that I gotta keep my mental
It just can't be accidental, man, my bars are elemental
'Cause you know I am elaborate, you know this rappin' shit's my fate
You know I really can't be late, you know I really cannot wait

[Chorus]
I've been keeping my faith in something I believe in
When's it ever gonna come around?
I've been losing my trust in people I've mistaken
Losing sight on coming back down
I've been looking for a reason to give my life but
Really this just happens all the time
I just gotta keep my spirit high and never let it die
This is something that's always been on my mind
[Verse 3: Kuzu Mellow]
Here we go, I've been sticking with the constant
Praying out to call me [somewhere], when I lose my conscience
Chasing dreams that I think that will fail, will I make it there?
Understand that my own definition of despair
But I won't end it here, chillin' with my homies on this grind
Get up and begin to fly, when they see us, they all rise
Best believe that we gon' shine, have the thought up in my mind
I can tell you that this shit stays on my mind

[Verse 4: Il Westo]
I've been waiting, yeah
And I've been debating
Whether this patience is all me
Or some type of complacency
Or some shitty network latency
Where my MS is too high
And people can't respond to me
At times, I feel I can't put it together
Whether the weather gets better or not, it's whatever
Pressure is pressure, the terrors of my errors
Never ever sever the pleasures of my treasures
Clever measures center me

[Chorus]
I've been keeping my faith in something I believe in
When's it ever gonna come around?
I've been losing my trust in people I've mistaken
Losing sight on coming back down
I've been looking for a reason to give my life but
Really this just happens all the time
I just gotta keep my spirit high and never let it die
This is something that's always been on my mind
[Verse 5: Joshua Morata]
Now there you have it, perspective from four individuals
Spewing truth on this J1K instrumental
They say it's nice to connect; sometimes I just forget
To get in contact with the ones who's been your A1, I guess
This is my wake up call, I won't let this dream fall
Through the cracks of failure and regret 'cause
I've been needing some time to grow up and grind
I wanna thank for your listening at what's on my mind
