10,000 Hours (Interlude)

Ten thousand hours gone I ain't even close In the right direction but I feel that there's still room for growth Spilled blood, sweat and tears then the pressure showed That I was a diamond from the dirt out in Sierra Leone Out of touch lately ain't been picking up the phone Sorry in advance but I need to spend some time alone When you're building a foundation have to take it slow Put my heart in every sentence I don't fit the mold Created player think it's time for me set the tone Only share my pain on wax because it's all I know Stop thinking local niggas gotta take it on the road If it's real then they'll relate and feel it in the soul If you told you that I love you then don't let me go If you work a 9-5 stay professional If you live above the law I hope you make it home Get your rocks off but just remember those are stepping stones
