This Time Last Year Video (MV)

If you would have told me
Everything happening's gonna happen
I would have looked at you and told you that I agree
Cause when it happens, man, it happens
This rapping is a passion
And success is a journey, but it comes with a large fee
Not this quick, though, I'd of thought it'd been a couple years
Guess some prayers are answered quick
With God, nothing can interfere
2018, we about to kill it, this is our year
But by 2020, Imma have an album, done prepared
And I know I'm not halfway there, not even close
But I got tunnel vision, I can see it through these hallways
Crazy how much an impact 365 days has on a person
Look at the miles that we all came
VISION started it all, Echoes kept it going
Then that Trapped video, I went from good to mind blowing
All because I met a couple people, got off garage band
And got confident with my lyrics
Dang, I was lost man, cause

This time last year
It was all an idea in my head I started thinking bout it
This time last year
I was making no progression, how could I get any better
This time last year
Didn't have a team surrounding, now I got a team surrounding
This time last year
It was all an idea, it was all an idea

And I think it was this time last year
Got a $20 microphone and some rap gear
Thought I was the baddest cause I got some equipment
And so I posted on the snap, garage band on a Mac air
Yeah, and oh my goodness, have we improved
The only ones chasing, yeah we're the fish in a swimming pool
And everyone wondering how'd I get so cynical
Well I'm putting this foot down, this foot ain't pivotal, yeah
Coolest little kid in the middle school
Turned to the misfit, this weirdo's pitiful, nah
It's the best thing to happen to me
Because this time last year I was mapping the dream
Now I'm on the journey, I just got the map in the seat
Same dream, a lot closer, though, I happen to be
And some may say it's crazy, make believe, I'm chasing this dream
And yeah, that may be true, but nobody's as crazy as me, because

This time last year
It was all an idea in my head I started thinking bout it
This time last year
I was making no progression, how could I get any better
This time last year
Didn't have a team surrounding, now I got a team surrounding
This time last year
It was all an idea, it was all an idea

Truly though, I would just like to give you my opinion
The people God has blessed me with is beyond comprehension
Things are happening that I could never ask for
And it's blowing my mind, that just goes to show my religion
Is truly incredible, God is looking down on me
And I'm surprised because I don't deserve like half these things
But I know he's got a plan for everybody
So I'll keep on making music, cause I feel like that's his plan for me
I'm not social, so there's no way I could make these friends
Or meet the people that I've meet without a helping hand
It's like the pieces of this puzzle falling into place without my directing it
I don't think you really understand
A year ago, I didn't know not one of these people
I met a guy, who knows a guy, who knows a bunch of people
And now I no longer feel like the world's ignoring me
And every single one of them has God as their priority
This time last year I made my first mixtape
This time last year, I was dreading 10th grade
Little did I know, that'd be the worst school year of my life
But my best year outside of school cause Jeff Sate
My brother met some college friends that soon would change my life
And I've learned to get a strong relationship with Christ
I guess God knew exactly how to make it right
Now I got a whole team, plus family by my side
This time last year I couldn't picture all of this
This time last year I promised I would never quit
Evidently it's paying off
So I'll keep that promise to myself and stay focused on what I represent
