Confidence

Confidence, confidence, every young boy need dat confidence
Tell me what to do to build that confidence
Gotta go through to feel dat confidence
Confidence there's no substitute it starts inside so it's up to you
It never grows if your comfortable since a pikinini boy I loved the booth
Sometimes Think back to my old moves
Before I ever had pro tools a
Auto tune on a vocal
Best flow in the whole school
I was tryna pull through Tryna make it in the game with the who's who
My boy DO said do you
Now I look back like who knew
I was on track but I doubted myself
Looking for something I found in myself eventually
Drowning myself in what I wish was Hennessy as I recall sippin 3 ships
That's the whiskey Version of dat Russian bear
Getting tipsy started rapping there people
See me rapping they would stop and stare
Tho they couldn't see me like I wasn't there
Cause the flow would get'em ghost
Dreaming of using the flow to get a ghost
It's hard enough to just to be a rapper think let alone when you the goat
Better than most perfectly honest they've never been close
I couldn't see it I felt so intimidated hated myself tryna be they favorite

Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that
Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that

My first show I was like eleven
Emotions feeling like I'm playing tetris
Up and down never had my breakfast
Body shaking and my lips drying I'm atleast trying
My boys joking but I need silence I'm rehearsing my song
I heard dat we on in the next few my crush is sitting by the best view
Never forget when they called my name
Come up to the stage then the music plays
And my mind goes black every time I go back feels like yesterday
I snapped back and I mumbled some lines
And freestyled just while up the time
Walk off stage and I try not to cry
Try not to die I was meant to be living my dream
But I suffocated way too embarrassed
To face my friends so called friends
They couldnt take an L but the love my wins
Now i'm in my feels and now i know how it feels to be eminem on 8 mile
To hear your name in the grapevine as the bud of a joke but it takes time
The more that i confess borderline depressed wanted to give up
Couldn't live up to my expectations and the time and patience that i never had
It's meant be easy you hit the stage and you get in your bag
I was so wrong when i got home know my mother could feel it
I couldn't reveal it cause that day i was meant to be in school

Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that
Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that

I wasnt backing out shit that's the last thing to happen now
Me and Will had to stack it out got an Amateur studio at the house
Nothing is handed out i had to focus and plan it out
Get a vision and lay it out make a decision and pray it out
I had to earn my stripes learn overnight
Rappers would flip when they heard what i write
But it wasnt enough for my confidence i had to look in myself
The music itself was a great escape i had to do it myself
Thinking better late than never the more mistakes the better
Trial and error had to survive the pressure be safe or be great which side is better
Need a higher level i'm not tryna settle not now not ever
Around that era save up for the magazine with the hype tape
Had a nigga tryna migrate tryna make moves tryna find a way till i break through
Writing rhymes in chemistry made me hate school
Every bar tighter flow sicker bump squata camp and the old slicker
Staying up late no more liquor made sacrifices just to be here
Music lounge playing P square thinking one day it'll come right
It's not who did it first gotta be done right rest in peace to my love life

Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that
Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Never ever had that CONFIDENCE
Since ever ever way back
Used to pray I had that
Never ever had that
Never ever had that
