Aver’s Verse:
Eternally driven since mom gave birth to this seed
Hard to see but im giving this a hundred percent of me
flip the switch and everybody wants my everything
i don't have anything but they insist on taking things
god damn these people just wont let me be
all they ever try do is try to get the best of me
I cant let it happen man I wont let happen
stop asking I aint trying to fill your already full basket
matter fact most of you already got a full plate
come to me for more when I haven't even fucking ate
this empty stomachs runnin gunnin for the success
fuel is zero and i'm learnin how to work under this stress
but all this does is make me a better me
eventually all you'll see is a super human being
but giving the best of me still wont be enough
im giving everything till I turn into dust
Ceez’s Verse:
You see every time I give the best of me,
People seem to take advantage and forget the chemistry,
But not this time because its meant to be,
I feel it coming like its destiny,
I feel it rising like Moses splitting up the seas,
Now it's up to me sprout and grow my tree,
Of ideas as my mind seems to run so free,
In the jungle of peace, love and poetry,
And just like Martin had a dream,
And everyday was a struggle for the Brooklyn king,
I seem to stay awake cos Nas told me not to sleep,
Until the day I succeed therefore I give the best of me,
Now watch me take flight once I grow my wings,
Up in the sky dunking like Julius Erving..
Introspect’s Verse:
I’ve always tried to give the best of me
That’s why I show you my abilities
But sometimes it gets hard to put it all down
Cuz we all fear ridicule and getting clowned

But I’ve learned to narrow my peripherals
Out of all your friends, there’s few individuals
That help you through every single thing you choose to do
Cuz humanity is not inclined to work for someone else’s food

Confused as a young’n but now I understand
When someone gets the best of you it’s just part of the plan
The hurt and experience is all part of the growth
Don’t got my bread and butter I’m still chasing my own loaf

This is for those that think they got the best of me
Well no shit I’m tryna give you everything
The only way to do it is to go all in
So even if I fail I’ll look back with a grin
