"Looking for a Purpose" Ft. Chelsea Spears

(Verse 1)
Dear, Mama, it's your baby boy
I'm writing this letter to you over beautiful noise
'Cause in conversation I don't think I could ever poise
All my frustrations correctly until I'm overjoyed
And that's a weird way of wording it but it's a perfect fit
'Cause I won't be happy 'til I clear my chest
Keep your Vicks, Ma, I'm not sick, Ma
Thanks for the gesture but what I'm about to lecture
Ain't got to do with congestion
I'm feeling pressure the pressure of a mountain
It's not on top of me but rather how will I surmount it
I know that you expect a lot from me don't doubt it
I want to make you proud and happy but I'm steady doubting
Thinkin' how can I fulfill my lady's wishes
In a game where for fun we diss 'em and call 'em all bitches
I mean, everybody gotta deal with contradictions
But it's these fundamentals messin' with my mental

(Chorus) Chelsea Spears
I'm looking for something that I can't seem to find
I'm hoping that one day I'll gain peace of mind
I want you to know wherever I may go
For you it's worth it… It's worth it
(I know nobdoy's perfect I'm just looking for my purpose)

(Verse 2)
I sit alone in this big grand house thinking about
How I'mma top what you and Pops laid out
I felt the pressure I had to do better as a successor
To a fortune I couldn't inherit gotta get it through merit
That's why I bet you were embarrassed when I started rappin'
And showed no interest in careers more certain to happen
You came outta the struggle worked hard it wasn't handed
Now six figures salaries got you in Caesar's palace
And here I come blastin', rappin', saggin'
Like everything you established I've come to trash it
Knew you ain't understand it you probably planned it
Different from my birth but this outcome panned it
Now where I'm standing in the living room
Makes me wish I stuck with your dream for me in the womb
'Cause I'm not seein' too soon many dollars from my tunes
And I love my home but I don't want to move back in my room

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
What if I invested more effort listening to my professors
Would that alleviate pressure and I'd see things come together?
Can't do this forever if I'm not touching no cheddar
Ma, reply to my letter will this ever get better?
Yeah you helped me get in college and find a degree
That'll be helpful to me in attempts to succeed
But I'm going on year three no closer to dreams
That I had at seventeen when I started this thing
Maybe it's me maybe it's a waste of my talent
I coulda been governor instead I wrote in a tablet
What is this madness anything I wanted I had it
But I rejected and selected chasing a passion
I'm no Christ but I got this cross to bear
This is my life I'm locked in it like my hair
Mama, I love you for what you did to bring me here
And all I do is ever strive to bring my family pride

(Chorus)
