Glowing Pains

If I knew then what I know
And my reply that I been going through the same thing he has
True I want more fans and not just followers
Like how the fuck about a hundred thousand plus is not enough
Not a single I can push but got a bunch of album cuts
By the time you fine the time to find the time your time is up
Now you turning twenty five, they treat you like you died or something
You're grinding, what was them ten thousand hours for, you tired as fuck
I could just go viral if I pop myself I probably would
Popping fucks your pockets up, was live enough to die for it
And just spent your last token trying to hit the high score
Now its all kind of stupid, swear this shit done got confusing
Who is who and where were you when I was in the gym shooting
Its like having some new music and they ass ain't listen to it
Then they ask you where the new shit, had to ask them what we doing
What we doing

If I knew then what I know
Back in the day when I was younger, hunger for what we had
True, she watch my gram, but i don't follow her
Like how the fuck did I get stuck, was trying to bump it higher up
Obvious no idea what the type of stuff I'm signing up
Bt the time you find the time to find some time your time is up
Now your daughter turning five and got a kindergarten crush
I done balled up all them months and now the in the garbage truck
Kinda suck, I missed out on a lot of daddy daughter stuff
Her momma must be out of her big noggin whats to figure out
How come Im coming to visit, Im the one who built the house
So really now its kind of stupid, swear this shit done got confusing
Who is who and where was you when I was in the gym shooting
Its like having some new music and they ass ain't listen to it
Then they ask you where the new shit, had to ask them what we doing
What we doing

If I knew then what I know
We caught the eighty six Lithonia going home to Redan
Cruising round Atlanta, do some follow ups
We watching the oscillator, conjure up a vibe or something
Saw a bunch of vibrant color trying to find a spot for us
Stopping us from rocking them holes in the wall, we climbing up
We turned all them parties up that we ain't make a dollar from
Lets lock in before tomorrow come, not realizing what time it was
Waiting for the Marta bus, it kind of looked like Forrest Gump
Started up a long discussion, sounded like some motivation
All because this conversation I had with this older lady said
Said baby you know the saying, ain't no use to keep complaining
They don't care about the label, the just wanna see the baby, that shit
And I just looked at her crazy, that shit
