As a child I would dream about it |
| [00:08.56] |
Sometimes it wake me from my sleep and I would think about it |
| [00:11.21] |
Making music was all that could keep me off these streets |
| [00:13.53] |
I don't know where I'd actually be without it, but think about it |
| [00:16.40] |
I dedicated like twenty years to the goal |
| [00:18.78] |
I still ain't made a name for myself and it's getting old |
| [00:21.36] |
How many more words can I enter into this phone |
| [00:23.83] |
Without running out of topics and dropping interesting quotes |
| [00:26.51] |
I know people around the globe is wishing that they had a chance |
| [00:29.59] |
To get they hands on that advance that I just passed up |
| [00:32.54] |
Hit the road and have at least two-hundred people at every show |
| [00:35.28] |
Smoking until I choke, that sounds mad fun |
| [00:37.56] |
And being able to pay my bills is a plus |
| [00:39.87] |
But money I be spending for promos is twice as much |
| [00:42.58] |
Not to mention if you get in to the club with all these other rappers then you gotta have the nicest stuff |
| [00:48.66] |
So fuck it, man, I'm drinking 'til I'm blacking out |
| [00:50.90] |
They know me around the city for acting out |
| [00:53.67] |
My dad visited for the weekend, he got a taste |
| [00:56.13] |
And left a day early, hit me with a text, "what's that about?" |
| [00:58.79] |
I told him, "it's okay, it's not a problem" |
| [01:01.42] |
But everyone around me seem to think that I can't stop it |
| [01:04.08] |
But yet they always wanna go out on my tab, they jobless |
| [01:06.73] |
And they looking for a way to get it popping |
| [01:08.74] |
So I got them, I start chilling with my old friends |
| [01:10.62] |
They all married with good careers |
| [01:12.81] |
Envious of what I'm doing |
| [01:14.01] |
But only if they knew |
| [01:15.16] |
I would trade them for a second and be outta here |
| [01:17.48] |
But I'm too addicted to this music |
| [01:19.31] |
And I got eight siblings that I never see |
| [01:21.46] |
In a room I never leave |
| [01:22.80] |
Stuck on my computer watching other niggas catch some speed |
| [01:25.47] |
All they songs is extra weak, confusion steady stressing me |
| [01:27.95] |
Running out of patience, let the journey get the best of me |
| [01:30.62] |
Thought I had the recipe, so I followed every step |
| [01:33.47] |
Left my girl and moved away, I know she happy I left |
| [01:36.06] |
Lil bro is all alone, mama need a bigger check |
| [01:38.77] |
All my niggas falling off, I'm still tryna be the best |
| [01:41.49] |
Locked myself inside this booth, started making hella tracks |
| [01:44.15] |
Cry myself to sleep at night, swear I been to hell and back |
| [01:46.79] |
Loaded up that gun I bought, withdrew everything I had |
| [01:49.42] |
Put it all in envelopes, had it sitting in my hand |
| [01:52.11] |
Wrote my mama letter, and apologized for suicide |
| [01:54.75] |
I been on a mission that they talk about but few will try |
| [01:57.40] |
Had my finger on the trigger, would have left it all behind |
| [02:00.12] |
And lyrics popped into my head, maybe music saved my life |
| [02:05.94] |
Maybe music saved my life |
| [02:11.36] |
Maybe music saved my life |
| [02:17.01] |
Maybe music saved my life |
| [02:20.91] |
Yeah, maybe music saved my life |
| [02:26.80] |
