2017

It took a lot to get to this point Trials, tribulations, overcoming self doubt I'm just tryna make myself at home with shit man Just tryna find my place, you know? Barely making enough to get my car paid 2017 a lot of days were dark days Still learning to open up due to heartache Had to trust that my girl would keep my heart safe In my head thought I was ready for the big stage Me and D$ working on mixtapes Fulfilling visions I had back in 6th grade Except this meant way more than getting paid Worth more than streaming numbers niggas brag about Heart broke a bit when all my niggas had it out Couldn't get ahold of niggas playin cat and mouse Almost dropped the mic and contemplated backing out Meanwhile I'm part time working back of house Parents divorced now I'm helping with a couple bills Grades dropping now I gotta climb another hill Was driving straight until a hidden hand cut the wheel I was on the verge of crashing out Took advice from anyone willing to pass it down 'Cause I was feeling helpless And thought somebody had the answer for the shit I dealt wit Hardly ever home family probably think I'm selfish Might've been depressed I probably couldn't even tell it Rapping at these shows I don't even think they felt it What good is being dope if I couldn't even sell it? People around me always tell me stay the course And that I'm close to the life I been praying for Sometimes I gotta ask myself what I'm in this for? I been feelin, certain feelings I can't ignore My inner voice tell me that I gotta keep pushing You already did so many things they said you couldn't It's easy for me to forget how far I really took it People wasn't checking for me, nobody was lookin Tryna find my footing in a city that I wasn't from It was different than the city I was comin from 'Cause to everybody I was just a nobody Either go hard or go home I'm not a homebody Insecure and introverted tryna come up out my shell Whatever it takes to make a name for myself Lot of people changed I'm remaining myself In hopes someone relates to the pain that I felt
