Yeah, one-two one-two, yeah Man this sound like the outro, this sound like the end of the album You know what I'm saying? This is the end of the journey right here Yeah, uh (Dang man, that's smooth) The dream never left me like I never left the Burgh The drive never stopped even when life takes a turn I've been through ups and downs, been through a lot of hurt Been through my share of pain, take it as a lesson learned Momma taught me how to tie my shoe laces So I could make a run for myself but who was I racing Imaginary places, unfamiliar faces As long as I can remember man I was chasing Back when I was pushing free beats for a placement Back when we was shooting album covers in the basement Back when we was shooting promos at the train station Back when I was writing raps like working on vacation Backpack rapper, same hoodie as yesterday No this ain't my planet nah, I was never meant to stay Let my experience shape me like a lump of clay I was always five moves ahead before I made a play Try to erase me from the page but I never fade Try to say farewell but I never wave Try to take me out the frame but I'll never stray Try to put the pressure on me but I'm pressure made Out of the dirt, out of the dust, down on my luck Running a muck, skipping my class, I was on the bus Who was I running from? All of my problems But dawg I swear that you ain't never help me solve 'em You was sitting on the curb like waiting for your mom to get ya Hitchhiker rappers you just waiting for a pickup Riding the waves, nah you just a lonely drifter But waves still crash you still falling off quicker You testing my patience and I got tired of waiting So I did it myself, everything but time I was taking Yeah I always knew it was the music I'll be embracing I'm talking way before me and A*** started dating, hold up, haha Yeah, I know you probably ain't listening Songs with your name in it, yeah you prob'ly dissing it You got a great spirit, yeah of course you worth mentioning Hit me up if you tryna talk just friends again I feel exes never really just friends again We see each other in public and we just play pretend Small talking, but I just want to ask if you got a man If you found someone as good as me I'll never understand Thought I found a woman I would hold onto til the end Had to go my own way, now I'm all alone again All up on the road again, all up from the soul Said they had the game on lock, but I'm trying to crack the code again Used to watch them freestyles on TeamBackpack Learned to walk around middle school with a snap back Learned to pen these stories in my lyrics, never lack that I'm Frank Sinatra fly, but I ain't in the rat pack Made in His image, I'm a God made invention Worship is my weapon I got clips with the extension Busting shots at the devil man I'm reckless Plotting in the night so my enemies are restless I just wanted a chance they wouldn't give me nothing Tried to make me quit, but you won't never see me budging Now I'm setting trends in my neighborhood, no fronting It wasn't overnight success I know I can't be rushing Man these part time artists just a distraction to me Rapping in your offseason, but y'all can't even play with me We ain't in the same league, no we not the same breed My role models say it's my turn just to take the lead I relay beats to Mayce he like "Bet, that's a layup" Sent it back the same night I said "This going way up" Not a lot of people doing it like us man, straight up I've got to thank the Lord, He the reason I never gave up Yeah, He the reason I never gave up Yuh, you know I gotta stay prayed up Never selling my soul I never pay up I've got to thank the Lord, He the reason I never gave up, yeah
