Here to Stay

While you chasing clout I'm chasing dreams in the clouds Bound to make them real make them count I feel the stars aligning, they see how hard I've been grinding How my voice I've been finding It's by choice I've been hiding In my home writing I'm in the zone rhyming Fighting to be known, to be heard Gotta keep climbing My own business I've been minding I don't care who is up and rising I got love for you, we can all be shining Wine and dining but I gotta focus on my own lighting I take pride in what I've done, what I do, what's to come I know where I've been, where I'm from, where I'm going I'm here for the win, I'm here to be the one I've been in this for years, but I feel like I've only begun I see many of my peers quit after a few years, shit I know we hoped we would blow ASAP, shit be Rocky Nothing will stop me, not even my own demon I am slept on, but I've kept on I'm wide awake Gotta press on, me I bet on Any given day Got a head-strong, I am dead on I'm here to stay I'm here to stay I'm here to stay I am slept on, but I've kept on I'm wide awake Gotta press on, me I bet on Any given day Got a head-strong, I am dead on I'm here to stay I'm here to stay I'm here to stay Today I'm overlooked, that's okay One day I'll be overbooked, too many tour dates Who's ready for me?
