take you back to when I was startin' out on the come up
I was grindin' til the sun up
My neighbors told me to shut up
But they couldn't see the bigger
Now my taxes more than their
tuition they see how I'm living
It was part of the story but
but can't be locked in a cage
I been underrated overlooked
They been tryna slow me down
like I got a speeding ticket
I got demons I keep hidden in the
And I'm not vegan I keep feeding
off the shit that they said
I been livin' out my dreams
while they stuck in they bed
I be thinkin' like a king till
I remember when they never
Now I'm everything that they
like every day of the week
I been studying in school
Tryna make it to a doctor I've
been workin' on my patience
I'm tryna make a living with
I'm goin' face to face with
all of my contem plations
I feel like God's gift and
I'm tryna lead the way for
all the fu ture generations
I got old friends slowly turning into enemies
I got people in my life tryna
And I'm tryna keep my focus
People drinking every night
tryna fade their memories
I been workin' out my mind
Not reacting to the lies I
But I know that everything will
happen how it's meant to be
From a small town tryna make
No reminiscing on memories
No politician but they listen
I been highly debated I'm
Not degraded by haters who
busy wasting all their time
I been murderding beats and now
they be callin' it a crime
Workin' while the sun down
waiting for my time to shine
Now they say I'm rapping 'bout
the same thing every time
But I'm always seeing people
with their focus outta line
I been sendin' the message until
they get it tryna let 'em know
