[Lyric] One Of The Many Ways (Sapient)

[Verse 1: Sapient]
No time for triflin', I don't get caught in no mood swings
I'm clam in the storm, my life is not like the movies
It's not like I would ever let the spotlight consume me
You puffin' on rocks thinkin' I'm thinkin' I'm somethin' I'm not
So much fake music tryin' to turn a penny
So many fake rappers tryin' to earn a Emmy
I understand, nobody wants to work at Denny's
And you got a family to feed, that makes the burden heavy
No illusions, bare hands promote my music
I came to build, I ain't talkin' home improvement
Sore muscles, dirty knuckles, broken bones, and bruises
I don't flinch for pain, nah, I don't show I'm human
I'm more than a man, more than life blown into clay
I truly felt my еyes open today
I'm ownin' my pain, my mind's focused and makеs
Ripples in my surroundings like a stone thrown in a lake (You get it?)

[Chorus]
It's just one of the many (ways, ways)
I define myself
One of the many (ways, ways)
I refine myself
One of the many (ways, ways)
I come outside my shell
And reach for others I don't need to be all by myself
One of the many (ways, ways)
I address my goals
One of the many (ways, ways)
I decompress my soul
For me to let you know
I'm a just play my part and watch the rest unfold
[Verse 2: LMNO]
Into a seamless map, dreamer's trap
Team up with the wake up rap
Take 'em out the nap at any extent
Exists in the exact
For the sake of money, dummy
Never sacrifice the fact, we impact
Without a major label on our back
You can keep your dough
Cats just wanna battle for your contract
And all the exposure they lack
They hate it when your up
But they love it when you fall flat, all that
Never had to disrespect to get respect
On set, at work, on call, ready to collect
Bless the hapless, forces me to press more
Hardcore, I'm a end short the bright future
And never regret it
With the ethic to get it
Kickin' down the glass door
Shred it up, sacrificial blood all across the floor
We're only here to settle the score, and make sure
All these riches returned to the poor

[Chorus]
It's just one of the many (ways, ways)
I define myself
One of the many (ways, ways)
I refine myself
One of the many (ways, ways)
I come outside my shell
And reach for others I don't need to be all by myself
One of the many (ways, ways)
I address my goals
One of the many (ways, ways)
I decompress my soul
For me to let you know
I'm a just play my part and watch the rest unfold
[Verse 3: Sapient]
You ain't gotta feel what I say
But I'm real when I say it
Nah, I'm not just tryin' to build up my name
I know, my lyrics don't always have the purest wisdom
But they raisin' the standard to advance the lyricism, yeah
And a lot of the subjects I happen to use
Are often about how I am better at rappin' than you
'Cause I am, I grind while y'all sit on your asses
That's why your music's drier than silica packets, hey
I'm a say what I say, critics you can do the same
Viewin' Sape from inside your tunnel vision
This ain't the same as Dry Puddles, is it?
But you should try fuckin' with it, c'mon
I'm so relevant, so relevant, oh yeah
I know what I'm doin'
I'm so relevant, so relevant, oh yeah
Bro, I know what I'm doin'
I'm so relevant, so relevant, oh yeah
I know what I'm doin'
It's not by shear accident
I been doin' this a minute
I'll do it for years after this
And after that, I don't know what
Probably start wearin' my pants like a grown-up
Maybe, but not likely
I'll rock Nikes and LRG 'til God smites me
