Music Is My Life

Man I been thinking bout How I chose to go a different route Writing music from the same place From when I was starting out Dreams of making my own mixtapes That'll take me out the house Thought that I could make it when I was half as good as me now Times are changing Reality setting in on the daily Invested so much in this with no payment Back and I'm contemplating Everything that I've created Is it enough for me to ride on To achieve greatness Man I don't know I thought I would figure it out by now But I still feel like I'm scratching The surfaces of my sound On the road to ten thousand Where practice hours feel like miles I haven't felt good in a while All I wanna be is proud I just watch movies I used to Enjoy when I was a kid Just to think there was a time in my life Where peace did exist Now I'm waking up in cold sweats Wonder where to go next My songs they project My exact feelings with this shit, word Yeah I've been thinking bout What this music means to me right now And how I'm thankful I stuck through all of the headaches and the trials It's a feeling that you get When you get something of your chest Turn that pain into a vibe You bob your head to once awhile My goal now is to make Music that doesn't age Where it sounds new When you decide to drop it in a decade That real shit's gonna last All this new shit's just a phase There's a reason why my sound And your sound aren't the same I been putting in the lab work Noting my mistakes, how to fix it And through that, I start to see my progress faster I'm writing all the texts and Y'all just reading the chapters Everybody wants to be the man But fumbles when it matters I see my music as art And every word is a stroke And they're all doing their part I take a different approach To where an album's a painting And there's a feeling evoked I write this music from the heart Your shit is not even close, shame
