| [00:18.72] |
I've been workin' like I've never been |
| [00:22.14] |
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in |
| [00:27.07] |
And if I knew back then what I know right now |
| [00:29.86] |
What I know right now |
| [00:32.90] |
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been |
| [00:37.63] |
You ever wonder what it all really means? |
| [00:39.53] |
Heart full of dreams? |
| [00:40.62] |
I know I'mma do it, go get it by any means |
| [00:42.71] |
Serving food for the thought like it's rock to the fiends |
| [00:45.10] |
I said this shit for years boy, this life ain't what it seems |
| [00:47.39] |
Sayin' that you can't just solidifies that you never will |
| [00:49.93] |
Said you would, said you could, but you ain't got the skill |
| [00:52.57] |
You gotta climb the highest mountain to master the hill |
| [00:54.71] |
You gotta climb over your ego to master your will |
| [00:57.01] |
Gave up on your dreams for a suit and a pension |
| [00:59.19] |
God damn, I hope you're here for the intervention |
| [01:01.58] |
You say you would if you had the money |
| [01:03.20] |
Don't make me mention |
| [01:04.00] |
That it'll cost nothin' but time for you to pay attention |
| [01:06.44] |
Now don't get me wrong |
| [01:07.55] |
I know there's people out there hatin' on ya |
| [01:09.24] |
And it feel like your self-esteem is breakin' on ya |
| [01:11.38] |
All they ever seem to do is hate when you speak |
| [01:13.97] |
They spend seven days preyin' on the weak |
| [01:16.41] |
I know the world sleepin' on ya like a sedative |
| [01:18.60] |
Talk all you want about me homie, I'mma let it live |
| [01:20.84] |
Hater this, hater that, say I sound repetitive |
| [01:23.18] |
Hatin' in your blood, you was born to be negative |
| [01:25.90] |
Never been |
| [01:28.19] |
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in |
| [01:33.47] |
And if I knew back then what I know right now |
| [01:36.25] |
What I know right now |
| [01:39.35] |
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been |
| [01:43.68][Verse 2] |
|
| [01:43.76] |
This is dedicated to everyone that never made it |
| [01:46.10] |
And the people that persevered even though they was hated |
| [01:48.34] |
They had a dream and a vision that they follow like a religion |
| [01:50.88] |
But on the real the road to success is prone to collision |
| [01:53.57] |
And every now and then something happens |
| [01:54.92] |
That's unexpected, like that newborn in your life |
| [01:56.72] |
Because you ****in' unprotected |
| [01:58.22] |
And I swear nobody perfect, hell I know I ain't |
| [02:00.41] |
Yeah I know this verse is heaven sent but I'm far from a saint |
| [02:02.79] |
Live a life with no complaints, tryna do just what I can |
| [02:05.02] |
Learn from my father's mistakes and become a better man |
| [02:07.27] |
Now plant a seed and watch 'em grow |
| [02:08.66] |
Teach 'em everything I know |
| [02:09.76] |
Show him how to fight his battles and always go toe to toe |
| [02:12.21] |
And this I know cause I been high, low, right, wrong |
| [02:15.34] |
But I had to do it all just so I could write this song |
| [02:17.63] |
I spit knowledge like the listener is my only son |
| [02:20.22] |
And grip the mic like I'm at war and it's my only gun |
| [02:22.56] |
Sometimes this journey to the top can be a lonely one |
| [02:25.01] |
Yeah, and this victory lap a lonely run |
| [02:27.64] |
While my hometown screamin' you the chosen one |
| [02:29.73] |
Tellin' myself, don't choke, don't be the frozen one |
| [02:32.25] |
I've been workin' like I've never been |
| [02:33.17] |
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in |
| [02:38.05] |
And if I knew back then what I know right now |
| [02:42.79] |
What I know right you |
| [02:45.71] |
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been |
| [02:50.44] |
I've been workin' like I've never been |
| [02:52.63] |
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in |
| [02:58.95] |
And if I knew back then what I know right now |
| [03:01.75] |
What I know right now |
| [03:04.84] |
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been |
| [03:06.98] |
I've been workin' like I've never been |
| [03:13.85] |
I struggle every day but I just can't let the devil in |
| [03:16.49] |
And if I knew back then what I know right now |
| [03:21.76] |
I'd be better than I've ever been, better than I've ever been |
| [03:59.81] |
Um, you like that take? I like it |
| [04:03.11] |
Yeah, should I make it more surreal though, or... |
| [04:04.95] |
I think it's good, hey Bobby run it! |
