Put this song in the vault the middle of September
No shortcuts to the process that's just something to remember
Trying to get a fire going gotta spark it with these embers
See these rappers in the game I just wanna be a member
So I'm working harder than all these rappers yelling gang gang
Little do they know they just signed up for a chain gang
Gave away their masters cause they just wanted some dang fame
Me I'm focused on the cash flow if not it's a lame game
I'm really out here doing it
Like 8 hour days put the work in pursuing it
Studying on YouTube till I'm fluent with
Chord progression melodies mixed with some kicks
2020 freestyle I'm just trying to break in
Or break out the matrix my minds been awakened
I'm chasing these goals they're mine for the taken
In my mind my formula won see I've been racing
On the track, like I do PE
Treat my studio sessions like a GED
Cause I know my daily habits are who I'll be
So I map out my day execute to a T
I don't how it's gonna happen but I know it will
That's my current mind state rap is gonna pay the bills
Put my trust in me cause I'm gonna make it off this will
One day looking back I'll be like god damn I made a mil
I got this dream I'm chasing but I'm more than a dreamer
Cause I put my thoughts in action I'm more than a schemer
I'm not your average rapper and I'm not your average singer
Cause I got these hard beats but I got a calm demeanor
I could pop on SoundCloud like it's 2015
Or probably TikTok cause it's new to the scene
I could build up each day get one fan at a time
Till they all show up get them standing inline
I could blow up on twitter like the backpack kid
Then I'll start making money and I'll stack that shit
Put it all in my studio rack that shit
I'll keep making tracks like back to back hits
I had to quit the day job it was getting in the way
Of the music that I just had locked up in my brain
Cause if stayed longer I would have gone insane
I'm happy that it pushed me out now I've found a lane
Now I wake up each morning squeeze the hours out the day
Bout to kill it in the rap game ' call me OJ
Made another beat and a song that's a slow day
I'm a cut above the rest you should really call me Kobe
It's the New Year but it's the same old me
Trying to get to the point where everyone will know me
Got my route mapped out I don't need no one to show me
Spend so much time making music that the studios a homie
I'm in a new gear like driving an Aventador
A lotta rappers flex for videos but rent a ford
A lotta people show a lifestyle that they can't afford
I'm just tryna build a business: call me Henry Ford
All these rappers talk about franklins
Me I'm steady reading Ben Franklin
Like what made him into Ben Franklin
Like his daily habits made him Ben Franklin
Living in the future so the past is my present
Every moment is a present
So I focus on my presence on the mic
This is real life I've rapping alone
I've been working on my craft like I'm Patrick Mahomes
This is 2020 hindsight
This is 2020 hindsight
