Told You

I told you I know you Was praying that I fall But I stood up and balled My back was on the wall Now I'm the one they call Put my whole family on Now they get what they want I'm a one man team From the beat to the mix I just mastered five songs In a week going in Imma do five more I'll sleep when I'm dead I don't get writers block Got streams in my head I spit what I live Got a whole lot to give Don't got no connections No industry friends So I go twice as hard work ethic On ten Transmute my pain in the music I'm blessed Translate this game to the people To spread a positive message That's never gon' end I'm positive this work F*ck popping a perk I rather live in the moment Then under the dirt I say prayers for my people Still under the curse You don't need to pop a pill Just to mask the hurt You don't need to pop a seal Just to show your worth I told you I know you Was praying that I fall But I stood up and balled My back was on the wall Now I'm the one they call Put my whole family on Now they get what they want Yeah I'm ready to go At all times Fsho I be walking through fear I be opening doors That I ain't open before My studio never closed I got it right at my pad No more fights with my dad I'm living life good Yeah the best that I can I always go within Staying out of my head I was so depressed Couldn't get out of my bed I never act on impulse I wait instead They say all feelings past Now I know that's true All my healing came When I had nothing to lose I ain't the villain no more But I paid my dues Always ready and willing To help you if I can I went through blood sweat tears It paid off in the end I made my passion my career That's a gift and a half My mental state so clear I don't live in the past I don't run from fear I embrace It and laugh I told you I know you Was praying that I fall But I stood up and balled My back was on the wall Now I'm the one they call Put my whole family on Now they get what they want
