Let's take it back to 08', yeah

I never thought I'd have a mixtape
Hell, not even a prelude
I never thought that I'd be spittin' verses in a dorm room
At 10 you was chillin' out with Macyn around the cul de sac
She was playin' hip hop
And you was really feeling that
One, two step Ciara, Missy on that repeat
I saw a part of them and in my head thought it could be me
December 08' was watchin' MTV
I was watchin' MC's spittin' on that TV
I felt the music touch me in a way that first time
Couldn't even see it coming, I was so blind 
Fast forward to 2012, I made it to that Teen Idol
Was a big shot, high top, goin' for the finals
At 10, when I sat there and wrote my first rap
It was then, I was like, this is a night cap
Go on, move along little Halli
Go and show the world even if they ain't about me
Go and spread your wings even if you can't fly
Cause the winners are the ones who got up and gave it a try
You flew away to a place that's so far gone
Where in Portland where it's sunny and Manhattan where it's dawn
You packed your bags and life and traded your life for another one
And then second guessed, you saw it's already gone
You did it girl
You never looked back
You left so quick
Quick goodbyes to mom and dad
I was with you when you cried the second week in
You felt the city sayin' no before it began
It won't be the first time that you see yourself fall
Whether it be rejection or a guy to come and break your heart
Elle, you were young
You had nothing to blame
You just broke when you saw all the price of the fame
But I promise you Elle
This is not even the end
And when the game says no
You get up and try it again
Get back to all your dreams with your Grammys in your hand
With unlimited amount of praises
With unlimited amount of fans
This is possible
Even when the numbers ain't probable
All you need is drive and all the words up in the gospel
Can you hear me, Elle?
I'm running out of time, but let me get this in
Just let me get in but two lines
I know you're in a hurry
And you got a lot to do
But I want to make it clear, Elle
I'm so proud of you
Listen
Remember when we were back in college?
Recoding a mixtape in a dorm room
And now you're in this big ass studio and you got an engineer
What's up, Sean?
I just want you to remember
You are the queen of the sound
