Second Wind

2010 I was struggling
High school problems
Young bull starting out with nothin'
While everyone's gettin' blunted
I'm like fuck this give me something
Something that I could work with
Something to give me purpose
Something cuz I'm hurtin'
And no lie all those times they laughed and told me to quit
Almost gave up on this life
Thank God talked me out of that shit
Dust that dirt off and remind myself that I'm as real as it gets
Can't have a soul filled with regret
That's why I give all that I got left

I just caught a second wind
Thought you seen the last of me well homie guess again
While you was happy with that weak shit I hit extra reps
And now I'm dying for the chance to prove I'm better than you, ooh

2015 I was hungry
Tryna make a name for myself doing anything to be something
Something greater than who I was
Out playing shows for no fans
Out here opening for these bands
I done paid to play and lost bands
They all thought I had no chance
I was driving out to these colleges
Just to hand out my cards
Saying go and check my SoundCloud I'm 'bout to be a star
Never once doubted myself when they all tried to tear me apart
Me and Josh Pearce going too hard my track records got heart

I just caught a second wind
Thought you seen the last of me well homie guess again
While you was happy with that weak shit I hit extra reps
And now I'm dying for the chance to prove I'm better than you, ooh

2016 I was up
Up next in the batter's box
Time to show 'em all what I got
Moving out to Los Angeles
On my way to the top
On my way to the guap
I was playing shows nonstop
Felt like I couldn't be stopped
Put my team together and toured from the West out to the East Coast
Doing things I only dreamt about for years when I was back home
But moving that fast ain't built to last I had to learn for my own
Everything spiraled out of control
Young bull's got a long way to still go

I just caught a second wind
Thought you seen the last of me well homie guess again
While you was happy with that weak shit I hit extra reps
And now I'm dying for the chance to prove I'm better than you, ooh

2017 I was puzzled
Thought I had it all figured out but really I ain't know nothin'
First half was strong second half all my numbers started to plummet
Thought about packin' up my shit and movin' back home to The Summit
Wait nah nah nah fuck it
I'm destined for big things, ain't giving up that easy
'member drivin' state to state in my whip just to go and hand out CDs
You a boss, a beast, you gotta sack up to believe it
Is he dedicated, extremely
It's time for the comeback season

I just caught a second wind
Thought you seen the last of me well homie guess again
While you was happy with that weak shit I hit extra reps
And now I'm dying for the chance to prove I'm better than you, ooh

2019 I was hustlin'
Learned how to become a man re-built my infrastructure
4 jobs just goin' hard to make sure I eat a King's supper
Fixed up my bankroll, just thankful I got tougher
Had to embrace my suffers
Got back on road and I played shows in so many great states
When I step up on that stage I know that this shit is my fate
Built my team back and believe that we all ate the same plate
Nah I don't wine nor complain
Just get shit done everyday

I just caught a second wind
Thought you seen the last of me well homie guess again
While you was happy with that weak shit I hit extra reps
And now I'm dying for the chance to prove I'm better than you, ooh
I just caught a second wind
Thought you seen the last of me well homie guess again
While you was happy with that weak shit I hit extra reps
And now I'm dying for the chance to prove I'm better than you, ooh
I just caught a second wind
Thought you seen the last of me well homie guess again
While you was happy with that weak shit I hit extra reps
And now I'm dying for the chance to prove I'm better than you, ooh

You know Kid Kern, like he told you
He told you his process of how he gets these bookings
But what you guys don't know is
Is the background stuff
This man will literally, will literally
Book a venue, deal with all the openers
Deal with all the extracurriculars that have to do with the fucking opening
*With the show
Deal with the transportation
Deal with budgeting
The man's a genius, he's on his top game
So if I falter, I'm not, we're not running at the same speed
It's a marathon, we got to get there together
You know what I'm saying
And so
That's the biggest blessing around, about this shit
Is being around people who push themselves to their absolute limits
