Preface - Zee

I have some, deep reservations on how people make money these days

I count all the numbers around me and sometimes feel a way

Been earning minimum wages, hope you make it someday

But look at all your efforts, steady building a case

Yeah, And ask the universe why it happened

Or why what hasn’t happened is the thing that keeps you rapping

Steady living of the hope that you will have it all

The principles of the universe start to take its toll

Yeah, Past relationships like death and taxes

You pay the price you payed but no ones asking how you manage

Like 8 mile you run rat race but you’re born a rabbit

You see the flashing lights with gold, and you just gotta have it

Yeah, please do forgive me my demeanor’s changed

I’ve started seeing patterns in the things I thought were strange

People acting different around me I won’t mention names

I thought you said you’d always love me, what a wicked game

It’s a cruel world we live in, if that’s what you see

I change the way I look at things and now they look at me

A little differently but inside I’m the same

I swear nothing has changed, I even kept my name

The same name they used back when I was texting on MXit

Those were some good times, and honestly say I can miss it

I guess we gotta grow, attempt to rule the world

Travel to Europe and some how we need to get the girl

I mean who has the time, I mean who has that life

When even on the worst days Beyoncé's still your wife

How unattainable are some of these things that we dream

When you’re at home thinking

Damn I wish I wasn’t me

But you are, and you gaze upon star

And you wish with all you have, all the things that in your heart

Could come to a fruition, hope god is actually listening

Cause there’s a couple things I prayed for you might of missed them

Been sleeping on the job, I don’t say that with spite

I’ve really had a good life I guess we’re still alright

We could be living better, I guess we kinda are

So relative to time I guess my wishing on the star

Actually kinda payed off, although it was lost

Upon me during moments realized there was cost

I had to put the work, amongst alotta things

I’ve sacrificed some Queens just so I could be king

And what a heavy price, for we have everything

But we lost everything and that’s the scary thing

Yeah, i thank god for what I have

But I’m living for the future, reminisce on what has passed

I’ve always had a tough time proving that anything besides myself is real

So it’s like everything is in your head, everything you experience you somehow

create, you’re responsible for it

But you can’t have it all, you have to choose certain paths and when you choose

that path every other path falls away

So yeah I’ve had to sacrifice some things in order to get have the time to do

this one thing

And it sucks buts it’s also the most amazing thing

To put it into better words or something relatable, you have a finite amount of

time and energy, if you go to the kitchen and pour yourself a glass of

champagne every other reality in that time frame cannot be experienced.

You can’t have a soda, you can’t go have a cup of coffee or experience

anything else except that glass of champagne.

I guess this is my attempt to

have a glass of champagne
