I was writing records in the basement Back when I ain't had no placement
And back when money was the motive And phace was the only engineer that took notice
Had our dreams planned out I just never could focus
Gettin' high all the time Left my dreams in the ocean
I was trippin' like I make it off a fade away Then I went missin, losin' inspiration
All this validation from the people in my inner circle
Got me tryna pay to play I'm really ashamed to say
I was down in the dumps Thinking get a pound, grab a pump
Vaunfe, doin' stunts Knowin' that I won't evolve if I stayed playin
Point So I learned how to dish the rocks, sit
And plot Knowin' that my journey only ends if I really
Stop Phace like dog, do you even want it
To keep it a hundred, I don't even know Like seein' people around me make it out
Knowin' I ain't made it out Left me feelin' so resentful
I used to get stage fright Feel the pressure got me glancing at the stage
Lights I know some people wish me luck and wish I
Fail at the same time When really we not on the same flight
He told me, you gon' kill it, be grateful Some people, they gon' love you, they gon
Hate you Just remain true
And stay prepared, they gon' call on you Good luck
