So Much (Feat. Kwazi M)

(Elöhim, you home?)
Right
Yeah

So much for puttin' my heart inside of this game
So much for sharin' my honesty and the pain
So much for choosin' the fortune over the fame
Even after all of that I was able to entertain
While hopin' I could still look in the mirror the same way, yeah
It doesn't take a lot to comprehend when you genuinely relate
Sprayground duffels full of original haze
Residuals paid, I don't believe in doing' shit in vain
Been around low lives and high-rollers
Chose to make the music to show 'em another way
'Cause, what's a general to an army of blind soldiers?
Gotta encourage my brothers to make a change
They set us up for failure, that shit is really depraved
I'd rather not give up than sit around and complain
Really in my city I'm Ziggy out in the Cape
Need to be around some love like Mitch talkin' to Ace
Find me in the club like 50 and Dr. Dre (yeah)
I'm the one who the locals really embrace
When I decided I gotta get to it
It was only right that I came up with the family unit
Couldn't prove the haters wrong without making improvements
Tryna count me up some Euros and cop me a Urus (yeah)
And the story's unfinished
Still movin' without fear, we ain't settin' on limits (yeah)
Highly committed, they'll never admit it
They forgot it was the boy they were tryna mimic
There's levels to shit, I'm just tryna show you the difference (I know)
It seemed delusional in the beginnin' (yeah)
But I could never crumble at crunch time
This time I'm, no longer just wide-eyed and tongue tied (yeah)

Even though these niggas knew I was a threat before I ever came of age
So much for crossin' out lyrics over the page
So much for stayin' up late doing those takes (yeah)
So much
I can only do so much
So much

Stars knew my name
Knew my fate before I knew the fight
Before the fake love
I was warned 'bout the fame
Got a flame they've been tryin' to contain
But you can't get your soul that was spilled from the pain
They said I'm too soft for the game (uh-uh)
I'm too raw to pretend (uh-uh)
I'm too deep to blow it (uh-uh)
Too real for all these deals they secure
I did the house, played my part but I can only do so much
Carved out these lanes with my pen (uh-uh)

Truth cut through the noise again and again (uh-uh)
Cut through the noise again and again (uh-uh)
Cut through the noise again
Cut through the noise again
Cut through the noise again and again
Cut through the noise again and again
Cut through the noise again
(Again)
(Cut through the noise again)
