Too Far - K Rino

The race is not to dismiss so I run it

Money or no money, I’ma keep it 100

Life ain’t easy but I can’t run from it

If getting it wasn’t hard, everybody would have done it

Instead of seeing the Sun, I be weathering the rain

The inner pain is something I could never explain

Whatever the game holds and my future contains

It couldn’t be tougher than what I already overcame

I don’t sniff no lines, commit no crimes

Pushing it to the limits still I get no shine

I’m tryna leave a legacy and hit more minds

Contemplated retirement at least four time

Got myself out from under the spell

Looked in the mirror and said, «I gotta be the one to prevail»

Revamp the game plan, I was scared as Hell

But failing to prepare is preparing to fail

Perceptions of me are so convoluted

Got an automatic weapon and no time to shoot it

Self-analysis is so therapeutic

I done did my work now it’s your turn to do it

I’ve been around the world in multiple time zones

Got treated like a king with 79 thrones

Styles and instrumentals I done put my rhymes on

Then I get treated like I’m nobody when I’m home

Still I keep on pursuing my high mind

There’s still no point to keep riding the sideline

You ain’t never paid dues, you don’t know how to grind

You experience defeat and mind force nine times

But I won’t hate another man’s position

I gotta try to rectify my own damn condition

I can’t win like a gunfighter who’s handsome

packing a gun but

I done came too far, I done came too far

We done came too far

It’s time to stand up on your own two and claim who you are

You can knock me but can’t stop me

You can knock me but can’t stop me

You can pop me but can’t drop me

You can pop me but can’t drop me

I see life differently since I’m older

My mind is messed up, my heart is colder

I had a chip, the folks acting bolder

Now I got a whole oaktree on my shoulder

Life is like rain that don’t stack up

If you can’t handle the pressure then pack up

It ain’t about how many times you get knocked down

It’s about how many times that you get back up

I’m tired of hearing grown men gasping and bitching

Put an apron on, take your ass into the kitchen

Fix a meal for me then hold my call

Since you acting like a women go wash my drawers

See, winning is a combo of mind and muscle

Overcoming the obstacles, life’s a tussle

Haters and cops looking every night to bust you

Trade the game in for a righteous hustle

Life ain’t all good so don’t confuse it

There’s somebody right now about to lose it

A dangerous fool they about to choose

Wanna be in the band but can’t face the music

Nothing but negativity you going through

Gun to your own head, thinking should I do it

Had a goal in your mind but you didn’t pursue it

Still living but your loaded with embalming fluid

Hold your head up high

Brother, don’t you know it’s all over when you die

Focus on your talent, make your money multiply

Don’t you got a family to feed, this ain’t no time to sit around and cry

Your life’s your own car why you asking to ride

It’s time to drive, get up out the passenger side

You’re the first, not a clone, the best ever known

And able to do whatever you focus your mind on

I done came too far, I done came too far

We done came too far

It’s time to stand up on your own two and claim who you are

You can knock me but can’t stop me

You can knock me but can’t stop me

You can pop me but can’t drop me

You can pop me but can’t drop me

I got kicked in the ass and my dreams were shattered

Was at a part when nothing really seemed to matter

My brain was all scattered, I was feeling the struggle

But I put it back together like a jigsaw puzzle

Your blessings seems to come slow as molasses

But the masses put to God, you going the fastest

I ain’t tryna die in the street, just as I was trying to eat

I’d rather work 9 to 5 in the heat

You can master your domain, god so let it be

How you do ten years but can’t make it into three?

Institutionalized, living in a spiritual grave

You gave and got nothing like a modern day slave

Couldn’t even get a job, a felony on your back

Now you at the same dope corner, selling people crack

The game ain’t never over, I’m telling you the facts

Your conscience keep on saying, «Why the Hell you doing that»

You gonna live, die, laugh, cry

Spend they whole lifetime wondering why

Hoping on a false dream, look into the sky

Never knowing the happiness money couldn’t buy

The world that made you wild, afraid to smile

Television and video games that raise your child

If your TV’s broke down, rearrange your panel

When I see drama approaching I don’t change the channel

Got the preacher of the poor been shouting and telling lies

While the congregation broke from paying ties

Put your faith into G-O-D and put it first

And the streets pay for the best, be prepared for the worst

Understand you can be whatever you wanna be

As a manner thicker than his heart, so is he

Get bread, take it home, divide the whole stack

When it’s seems that it can’t go

I done came too far, I done came too far

We done came too far

It’s time to stand up on your own two and claim who you are

You can knock me but can’t stop me

You can knock me but can’t stop me

You can pop me but can’t drop me

You can pop me but can’t drop me
