Wasn't In Vain
All this hard work gotta mean something
What I went through wasn't for nothing
Hold up
I know what I'm doing
Everything I'm working for
Road I'm pursuing
Hours in the studio locked in a session
Friends doubting I can even make it a profession
Back when I was rapping on Acoustica Mixcraft
Panty hose on the mic help when the wind pass
You can see the passion on my face like a chin strap
The real gone, naw with me where it's been at
Instead of buying books I got a Mac
Pro tools and a mic that tuition was my starter pack
When I used to work at Conoco
I be in the break room daydreaming writing on the phone
All this hard work gotta mean something
What I went through wasn't for nothing
Driving to Los Angeles
Doing time for cannabis
Writing raps sleeping on the couch
It was challenging
Niggas never sent beats blame it on they ADD
Buwa split the bill wit my ma for my MPC
Got sick at my aunty house it was ravaging
Family would hit me just to see how I was managing
Then I got to Westlake handing out my mixtape
Met Nas Jungle and Rihanna in the next day
Chopping it with Hitboy and Karen Kwak too
Met Jeezy in a Maybach 62
I even wrote a song for Juicy J
It all worked out in a funny way
All this hard work gotta mean something
(It wasn't in vain)
What I went through wasn't for nothing
(It wasn't in vain)
All the pain heartache and the suffering
(It wasn't in vain)
I don't know it all but I know one thing
(It wasn't in vain)
All this hard work gotta mean something
(It wasn't in vain)
What I went through wasn't for nothing
(It wasn't in vain)
All the pain heartache and the suffering
(It wasn't in vain)
I don't know it all but I know one thing
(It wasn't in vain)
What I went through wasn't for nothing
Hold up
I know what I'm doing
Everything I'm working for
Road I'm pursuing
Hours in the studio locked in a session
Friends doubting I can even make it a profession
Back when I was rapping on Acoustica Mixcraft
Panty hose on the mic help when the wind pass

I don't know it all but I know one thing
(It wasn't in vain)
