Dad's leg broke
Then the recession hit
Months later we was sleeping at the church again
Wanted to be the hero
I picked up the sticks
2009 drum off, I had to win
I was 16, in the Sistine
I would skip sleep
On the fantom, I'd invent beats
Next day, I'd be focused on my kick speed
Dad said to be the best
You had to live, breath
Eat, sleep
The throne that you wanted
You cannot have a feast
Unless you've been searching and hunting
I had my family on my back
And I knew if I won it
Our lives would change forever
So nothing came before drumming
First round, routine was astonishing
One judge met me 'bout a scholarship
They gave us monster energy, so we all was lit
Focused on my prize, had my heart in this
Round two's when my heart broke
I was flawless, I did not choke
Treated the drums like it was hostel
The competition inferior to my god-stroke
Confident I'm a beast behind the drums
Dad left before they could decide who won
My life stopped when they announced Michael won
My dream died, I failed tryna save nine of us
Sorry
I just wanna save you
I just wanna save you
I just wanna save you
With me you can lose
I just wanna save you
I just wanna save you
I just wanna save you, yeah yeah
I just wanna be
I just wanna be, yeah yeah
I just wanna be
I just wanna be, yeah yeah
Yeah
Moral victory
Moral victory
You didn't get the win, but you did to me
Be satisfied losing 'cause in the history
Books we'll remember the battle between him and me
Nah
I used to cry after losing in madden
I hated every time that that would happen
I'm not content failing while others advancing
Why can't I be succeeding on the top ecstatic
It's a problem if we do the most
They'd rather have you
Hidden with the curtains closed
They don't want you to reach your goals
But settle for any medal that isn't gold
Rather you be the worker than the CEO
God said take pride when they see me low
I've been low, but now I'm rising in this season bro
Don't play yourself stop eating crumbs that reach the floor
Stop eating crumbs that reach the floor
