I was 17 and reckless Whippin' up a setlist Felt I finally made it from the pavement to the best shit Always woke up hungry, cook up music like it's breakfast I didn't care what fit me, or my voice, or how I lived shit Yet I still fell into music that would fit with what was in I would write over a trap beat, get 2 listens again Same shit, new day Repetition ain't hittin' Cuz I would work with words for hours, recognition ain't gettin' it So I went up on a stage and killed a 10 minute set Yeah the crowd was fuckin' lovin' it I'll never forget 2 weeks later pass me by til I was hit with a text Yeah a label fuckin' wanted me, I wanted the check I mean approval- not the check that you can cash though Bein' liked was more important than my cash flow If I sign one day then I might see my cash grow But once I signed, I learned that rappin' ain't a cash show Yeah I crashed hoe I hit my deepest depression I was addicted to them pills, I can't get off em, I'm stressin' But the homies out in D-Town, they were all so damn scared Worried I may take too many, never wake from my chair It was bad and all, addicted to the Adderall Like a basketball, I know I can bounce back tomorrow But the come-up wasn't worth it Lost my passion, lost my purpose All these rappers really hurtin' Makin' thousands yet feel worthless This music life shit got me feelin' so faded My thought was that I made it, I ain't sleepin' on the pavement This industry is broke, but there ain't nobody sayin' shit I dove too deep, now my whole life is invested The millions don't mean nothin' when you let someone control you They choose whether you suck, or if they wanna promote you It's too easy to fall for their stupid little games I just wish I would've skipped em to go find my own way The way that I felt, was due to cards I was dealt Got 12 right on our ass, was stressin' how the car smelt We got 2 zips in the glove, and a strap by our side Even if we ain't get lit up, we were in for a ride Too many times I caught myself straight slippin' up Took amphetamines and poured some lean into a cup Wasn't satisfied by nothin' so I numbed it with the drugs Tryna fit with the thugs, I wanted into the club I ain't had a plan but music, so I do it til I prove it I know that I got the talent to start a worldwide fuckin' movement Gon' abuse it til I lose it This the blueprint that I'm followin' Me, myself, not no one else That pill was tough to swallow man I'm in my bag You could say I persevered though Still rappin' bein' honest bout my fears yo This the best I've fuckin' felt in hella years hoe I still ain't givin' up, f*ck it if it appears so This music life shit got me feelin' so faded My thought was that I made it, I ain't sleepin' on the pavement This industry is broke, but there ain't nobody sayin' shit I dove too deep, now my whole life is invested The millions don't mean nothin' when you let someone control you They choose whether you suck, or if they wanna promote you It's too easy to fall for their stupid little games I just wish I would've skipped em to go find my own way (Find my own way, find my own way) (Find my own way, find my own way)
