Level Up

I remember being all alone
Tragedy after tragedy felt like my life was froze
And I was stuck
Went and took control I leveled up

See I remember it all
Reason I stand tall
It was just me in them situations, no one to call
The ones I thought were my dawgs secretly hating
I brush it off, hit the booth, shit a vacation
And I been patient
So patient
Everything right on time
Fuck all that waiting, I'm going after mine
And I ain't even a rapper, I'm a poet, love to write
Remember all them times
I just wanted true support
Like how they rooted for me, when I dribbled the ball up and down the court
Couldn't nobody stop me
I know so many thought I'd make it to the league
And be
One of the greats
But it's life shit change
Either way, they'll know my name

I remember being all alone
Tragedy after tragedy felt like my life was froze
And I was stuck
Went and took control I leveled up

I remember it all
Pain cut deep, left scars
Look up at the stars
Smile hard
Thinking bout my Grandpa
I remember it was nothing but tears
I turned that pain into passion
I'm gone ball a hundred years
Take care of my kids
And even they kids
And they kids kids
Yeah you get it
I had to do it different
Tunnel was dark, but I still saw my vision
Ain't wanna listen
Now they wishing
They was in my presence
Took a lot of L's, and in them L's I learned lessons
I was stressing
Turned to skin and bones
Used to talk to Grandpa, now it's conversations through my songs
Yeah it's conversations through my songs

I remember being all alone
Tragedy after tragedy felt like my life was froze
And I was stuck
Went and took control I leveled up
