Nothing to Gain

from Professional Hobbyist by Praverb the Wyse

/

about

This track was written to suggest that I have nothing to gain sounding like the next person. We are human beings with individualistic skills, embrace your individuality and display your creativity.

lyrics

LX Beats, yeah, Finland in the house
America, you know

I hear a lot of rappers and a lot of them sound the same
But see me, I got nothing to gain sounding like the next man, nothing at all...

[Verse 1]
As my foot hits the pavement, I think about engagements
Education, personal life, I want to make hits
It's so simple, yet many don't understand
I'm jogging in place, in life I do the running man//
Each day presents a new dream a new goal
Finding shortcuts, maybe even a loophole
Music is therapy, cause truth be told
growing old scares me, remain Rufio//
Stumble when I mumble over the hi-hats
3D when you see me it's like I-Max
A live chat, present some surprise raps
Pawn my soul, there's no chance for buy backs//
I have daily things that I strive for
Present truth, what do I have to lie for
I want to reach the clouds, so I fly more
When the speakers pound, I want to see the crowd//

[Chorus - 2x]
I'm not gon' whine, I'm not gon' complain
This rap money here, it all be the same
Major or indy, I'm still in my lane
If I rap like you, I got nothing to gain//

[Verse 2]
I'm back like I never left, thread with every step
In the gym, getting thin, pushing every rep
Every set, erases the stress, chase success
Won't plunge, won't die, no Faces Of Death//
Greatness is kept, inside, motivation just lies
On the sheet, writing heat, until the pen dries
No coward, fierce lion, some can sense pride
Purify my soul, it's complete, not rinse dried//
Life is short, I resort to commit time
To things I believe in and people I love
Music, I need a fix, I believe it's a drug
Ten years strong and I'm still seeking a buzz//
Still seeking a fanbase, gathering emails
Present free music, no need for retail
Strong work ethic, working on presales
Connect with the fans, giving them details//

[Chorus - 2x]

[Verse 3]
Grace the stage, correct the mistakes I made
Play the game way before the bases laid
A role model, no hero that saves the day
I just want to write because it takes the pain away//
Use to struggle with writer's block, now I write a lot
Mind full of topics, destined to be in Vinyl spots
Not the final stop, I've been blessed to breathe
Far from the best emcee, respect me please//

[Bridge]
If I rap like you I got nothing to gain
Let me take you on a journey where I struggle for fame
I want to be large, you know double my name
But until then I'll just humbly claim
I got nothing to gain
I got nothing to gain
If I rap like you I got nothing to gain
Let me take you on a journey where I struggle for fame
If I rap like you I got nothing to gain

[Chorus - 2x]
